Fat Cash Stacks Furniture

This Ottoman from Great Big Things Literally Looks Like a Million Bucks

— April 4, 2013 — Luxury
This ottoman from Great Big Things is the perfect piece of furniture to make your house guests think you got rich and didn’t die trying.

According to Great Big Things, this plastic ottoman designed to look like fat stacks of cash would be the equivalent of $3 million if it were comprised of real bills. Somewhat unfortunately, the ottoman is actually made of plastic. On the plus side, the fat stacks ottoman only costs 100 real dollars, which I think is a small price to pay to seem like a high roller via your furniture; it certainly seems like a small price to pay for some false-luxury fantasy wish fulfillment.

I don’t know about you, but if I had enough extra cash lying around to make stacks of money furniture, it would be all-aboard the excess train. Although, my stacks would probably be comprised of one dollar bills instead of the hundred dollar bills in the Great Big Things creation.
