A couch fit for Wednesday Addams

Got an old 18-gauge steel coffin lying around? Give it to the people at Coffincouches, and put your mind at rest that your coffin will have a comfortable second life.

Label it really eco-friendly or really morbid (or a little of both), the company collected steel coffins from Southern California funeral homes that couldn't use them because of "slight cosmetic inconsistencies" ('cause I'm sure the people in them really care that the paint is chipped). Anyway, the coffins are reconfigured into perfectly good, albeit creepy, couches.

Check out the various models here: you can go with simple black, electric blue, or a modest cow print.
