I don’t like the April Fools’ Day, but this door chair is really funny, and appropriate for a day like this. The only problem with something like this might be …if you have a visitor you might have a dialog like this : “I’ll be right there, hold on! “, after 2 minutes … “Just one more minute, I’ve almost got it! “, because the chain is long enough to reach the far end of the maze. – Via – Tranism.
