The ultimate repurpose: Shelves for Life by ww.modcons

Having had to deal with people who are so attached to their belongings that it seems that third set of china they never use (I'm not exaggerating, either) is going to have to be pried from their cold dead fingers, I'm seriously considering Shelves for Life as a Christmas present.  That way, when they kick off, we can just load them into the box alongside all the stuff they loved too much to touch - since the shelves reform into, yes, a coffin.  The ultimate repurpose - first it holds your things, then when you're done with your things, it holds you!  [GT]
