Of course, I don't know how much it costs. If it were say, 50 bucks, it might be a nice thing to have around and pull out if you need extra seating and the rest of the time could store it away. But I have a hunch it is a lot more expensive than $50 (if you can actually buy this yet). If it does cost a lot more than that I would rather put that money towards a piece of "real" furniture.

We actually have fairly traditional furniture throughout, but I can see this working in a playroom or an office. It isn't perhaps the most polished of pieces, but I like the amount of color and texture that the piece introduces. I also think it's nice that you can change the size/shape without really altering the fundamental feel of it.

I have stained concrete floors, exposed beams, tall windows... and I still don't think find this attractive. My furnishings are contemporary and modern, and I feel a piece like this would look cheap and out of place. I don't live in a "more traditional house", but agree a piece like this wouldn't work in that type of setting either. I do live in a loft and not in a more traditional house.
