I got my first cocktail cabinet (centipede) just before christmas and I needed a few chairs. I needed something that didn't take up too much room, and was short enough for the a cocktail. My girlfriend is a seamstress, so she re-covered some cheap ottomans to resemble a POW block and a Mario Coin Block. They're made out of vinyl. We think they turned out pretty awesome. The tops come off and you can store stuff inside. I plan to keep a soldering iron, multimeter, etc inside.

Just thought I'd share.

That is beyond badass! Well done!
 
I think you guys should put on a price on building new ones of those and sell a few here on KLOV. You'll definitely have takers on those.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone!

We probably won't be selling these any time soon. The materials alone would make it pretty expensive. The stools were cheap ($20 a piece), but all the different vinyl colors weren't (~$50 for both stools), and there's quite a bit of labor put into each one (i'd estimate 10 hours). Plus we don't have that much free time these days.

She's owns/sews for barrysfarm.net out of our house, making primarily fun laptop & ipad sleeves. So, sewing these wasn't too difficult, just time consuming.
 
Amazing! It is always tough to find the right stools for cocktails. Your girl is straight up killin it on her other products on your site. That Cheeseburger ipad cover is sweet- I may have to order one.
 
Very nice done!

Just a curious question... Why not make them Centipede since they are for sitting at the Centipede CT? Please don't take this as a knock since I'm just curious. Maybe you'll get a Vs. CT with Super Mario Bros. next. :)

Mushroom stools would be cool for a Centi.

I dont even have a cocktail and I want them. They could make nice ottomans for the living room. Or better yet, toppers for Nintendo cabs.
 
For those of us super-bummed that these will not be produced...

The possibilities of building these out of 3/4" styrofoam is there... Won't be able to sit on them, but could be easily constructed and hung as ceiling art...?

Just an idea. Styrofoam is very inexpensive and light.
