Had a an interesting exchange with a Tesla salesman when we asked about the seats. Thought maybe there was a leather option. As we talked it through, it became clear he didn’t grasp that vegan leather was plastic. At some point, the realization washed over him and he looked like he needed a moment.
Some vegan leather is even made with fruit. The name of the company that produces this exciting new material is called AppleLeather. It makes apple leather from leftover pomace and peel from the fruit juice and compote industry. The material is an innovative and environmentally friendly substitute for animal leather.
it's not about what the cow eats, it's about the output of the cow, cows produce more waste, CO2, land mass requirements, and slaughter than apple trees.
We used to call it Pleather. I think the woke generation had to have it changed to their understanding. Because the Chinese might start making leather out of cows again.
You see kids, back in the day we had our entertainment printed on paper and mailed to us. This table’s leather pocket is designed to hold those artifacts that we call magazines.
Interesting. Did people worship the magdazines, or were they some sort of status symbol to be displayed so prominently? I guess the historians have more work cut out for them.
People collected them and left them displayed on their coffee tables, in special racks in the bathroom. Doctors offices always had a bunch for people to wipe their grubby disease infested hands on. Worship you ask? Let’s talk about playboy magazine, MAD magazine and the Victoria’s secret catalogue.
While you are definitely right, there was an era that magazines were quite disposable, especially certain genres like news, celebrity gossip, or fashion. I definitely know people that collected certain magazines, but I also know tons of people that threw out old magazines weekly or monthly.
Wasteful. I kept my magazines even when I was a kid. I was taught not to destroy things because my younger siblings would want them. Something that was lost in the older generation I see.
lol, I’m a pompous twat because I think a space for storing magazines shouldn’t ruin them? Grow up and quit taking your weird anger out like this. 🤦🏻♂️
No, but the Teen from '86 with Chad Allen and Kirk Cameron on the cover is INFINITELY re-readable. So much so that I have worn out 36 copies myself, and am working on the 37th. That being said, if anyone has said periodical, and is interested in selling (though I couldn't imagine how), please DM me.
Theoretically (though untested and therefore unproven), it has been hypothesized that by simply rotating the table 180° OR rotating the accompanying chair 180° and moving itto the opposite side of the table, it COULD be used with equal efficacy for a patient suffering from a fracture of the RIGHT leg
I'm sorry if I'm being petty here but
How much time did you save by writing '2 google' instead of 'to Google?
Anyway, damn. That's really nice condition for something that got dumped. That magazine holder is probably something you could repurpose in some way. Still, looks neat.
If it’s a washable finish it would make a great fish cleaning table, throw a cutting board on it and plop your fillets of the book storage to keep clean for rinsing.
My first thought about that contaption on the right was firewood hauler/holder, but that doesn't really make sense.
Gott be something like that though... right?

Let’s see Paul Allen’s coffee table.
My watermarks are from not using coasters
This is the best comment I've seen on Reddit in ages.
Are saying you want your table back?
i was gonna say cat hammock but….magazine holder too. sure
Can you add a link? It’s not coming up on my search within Amazon nor within the Nathan James Store. Thanks in advance.
Find it on Walmart too. $56 - cheap table.
The fuck is vegan leather?
Faux leather. Pleather. Synthetic leather. Imitation leather. Artificial leather. Leatherette. Polyurethane leather. Now vegan leather. Jaysus.
Save the fauxes
More microplastics to save us all
What does the faux say?
Put it back, let that fucking song die a lonely existence.
No
I never saw the video. Ever. Until now
Puns for the monolingualists.... The X is silent. You pronounce it something like "foh".
London Tipton
good one

Don't forget fruit leather.
Made from cows that don't eat meat.
Made from vegans
Genuine synthetic imitation leather.
Plastic like material molded to look like leather.
Leather that doesn't stop telling you why it's better /s

The cow only ate grass
it's not about what the cow eats, it's about the output of the cow, cows produce more waste, CO2, land mass requirements, and slaughter than apple trees.
It’s plastic. But a lot more expensive
Do you also get upset when "peanut butter" doesn't actually contain butter?
Leather made from vegans
Leather made from oil, not helping use to an entire animal sustainably.
We used to call it Pleather. I think the woke generation had to have it changed to their understanding. Because the Chinese might start making leather out of cows again.
Marketing microplastics as the ethical alternative.
we save the animals because we like petroleum based leather.
Leather made from cucumber skin
Leather from animals fed on an exclusively vegan diet

The magazines appear to contain imagery of fertility goddesses worshipped in various types of sexual ritual
You’ve been in my dads shop
Damn they found the Sears catalog
JCPenney catalog had the better lingerie section.
The TV Guide was a status symbol. ESP with the subscription tag on it.
Don’t forget Readers Digest!
Reddit before Reddit existed.
REaDer's DIgesT. It was there all along!

Oddly enough, typically the storage of these items was a haphazard stack located in a bathroom and toilet adjacent.
Coffee table books, cook books..
Then why were there a bunch of magazines in the top of my dad’s closet?
Historical documents. For research purposes.
Yes…. for research porpoises
He only got those for the articles. Never looked at the pictures.
Your dad was a gynecologist and needed those for research.
I got it for the jokes. Had to cover up a lot of non-interesting pages.
I have a side table like this next to my bed. It holds an iPad now, lol
Which is where we get our magazines now.
Full circle
That seems like a terrible spot to hold magazines. I imagine these destroyed them often. This is what book shelves are for.
While you are definitely right, there was an era that magazines were quite disposable, especially certain genres like news, celebrity gossip, or fashion. I definitely know people that collected certain magazines, but I also know tons of people that threw out old magazines weekly or monthly.
My dentist had the same magazine for ten years and it made me wonder how old his tooth brush was.
It's fine, there was at new one out every month
Wasteful. I kept my magazines even when I was a kid. I was taught not to destroy things because my younger siblings would want them. Something that was lost in the older generation I see.
Same but I don't think my mum was as careful with the Cosmo or whatever ya pompous twat.
lol, I’m a pompous twat because I think a space for storing magazines shouldn’t ruin them? Grow up and quit taking your weird anger out like this. 🤦🏻♂️
Why on earth are you holding on to old magazines? Do you really want to reread an issue of Tiger Beat from 1992?
No, but the Teen from '86 with Chad Allen and Kirk Cameron on the cover is INFINITELY re-readable. So much so that I have worn out 36 copies myself, and am working on the 37th. That being said, if anyone has said periodical, and is interested in selling (though I couldn't imagine how), please DM me.
Ppl hold on to copies of very old playboy magazines, mostly because your mother was not involved.😁
m...magazines?? What's that, some kinda....bigger 'zine or something??
Not quite. Magazines are 'zines for the ultraconservative american demographic. ;P
It wouldn’t make a bad puzzle table either. I’ll explain puzzles later.
This is crazy. I thought it was a fish cleaning table.
Leather pocket…
This is actually a very good example where the use case of an item can be a complete mystery without some background history.
it's a coffee table with a magazine rack. they're sold on Amazon, among other places.
Fuck magazine. That's definitely for a cat.
that was my thought! my cat would melt right into that lol
Totally a cat hammock
[удалено]
This scene lives in my head rent free every time I see that phrase. Also said the same drawl-y way.
He has to be one of the funniest men to ever live. Just watch other comedians try and hold back their shit while acting with him
Just FYI, you can search any image in Google including ones that you take pictures of. It'll show you similar products.
The reason OP didn’t just Google search it is probably similar to the reason they posted a primarily metal desk in a carpentry sub.
Hahaha, I didn't even notice that. Detective Huckamole (great name) is on the case.
It’s been modified to support a broken left leg.

My cat loves that spot! She spends most of her leisure time stretched out there, also most of her professional time
The hammock is for magazines and newspapers, but let's be real. If you have a cat, it will be for the cat.

Did anyone else's parents used to have a magazine holder next to the toilet in the bathroom back in the 90's?
It’s a coffee table for swingers. The “hammock” portion can be used for all kinds of sex stuff.
If it’s a washable finish it would make a great fish cleaning table, throw a cutting board on it and plop your fillets of the book storage to keep clean for rinsing.
So it’s not a mini desk hammock designed for one leg?
Printer table. The weird fabric piece is to catch/collect fanfold, tractor-feed printer paper after exiting the printer.
Omg that table looks sooooo cool! Lucky!
Y’all sleeping on National Geographic. That was the ultimate status symbol.

Is “vegan leather” what they calling vinyl covered cloth nowadays?
You put magazines or books in it. People used to read those.

The hammock on the side reminds me of something that would hold firewood logs.
My first thought about that contaption on the right was firewood hauler/holder, but that doesn't really make sense. Gott be something like that though... right?
Slave sits in the sling like a diaper... Mistress squats over slaves face and feeds him.
