I can't believe someone makes... LED benches

LED bench.jpgI can't believe someone makes LED benches... but they do. Opulent Items, to be precise, the "Home Of Unusual Luxury".

How much will these tasteful, multi-coloured, remote-controlled benches set you back? $6,500. Yes, six thousand five hundred dollars.

But in the good tradition of I-Can't-Believe-Someone-Makes..., the item is out of stock at the moment. Demand exceeds supply. They should have charged more!

What do you get for your money? The website writes:
This very unique contemporary furniture is remote controlled and glows in several LED colours. The remote control (included) allows you to rotate through the gorgeous colours at a preprogrammed speed (you choose speed via remote control) or you can elect to have a particular colour illuminate steadily. Hundreds of unique colour variations can be created as the remote control allows you to mix colours. A 3-meter power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet (95 watt, non-heat lighting). This unique contemporary furniture can be used indoors and outdoors as it is totally weather-resistant.
 
Multiple benches can be synchronized in order to have all benches display the same colours at the same time. These contemporary benches use DMX-based remote control systems, which also allows them to synchronize with your home sound systems.

Thanks to Technabob for this one.

Brilliant - want one!

I do wish people wouldn't describe things as "very unique": something's either unique or it isn't.

Like it - it's "quite unique" in its badness! Talk to any journalist or sub and they'll have a long list of such bugbears... successfully demonstrating, fully customised, in order to (to), anything with -basis (monthly-basis instead of just monthly)....

But back to the bench. It does catch the eye, but I would first need to have a garden before any purchase!
