Things You Probably Don't Need, #2

Posted by Stacy in Neatorama Only on October 30, 2008 at 10:28 am


I mean, maybe you need a replica of King Tut’s throne to mark your alpha-dog spot at the dining room table. It’s only $895. And if you order two (the holiday season is just around the corner, people!), they are only $875 each.

Brittany, the Neatorama reader who suggested Design Toscano for our new Things You Probably Don’t Need feature, was dead on: you probably don’t need anything from Design Toscano. But it’s definitely entertaining!

    I dunno...I have a desk from Design Tuscano that has SECRET COMPARTMENTS. I have needed a desk with secret compartments since I was a kid. They also have yard art like a zombie climbing up from his grave. I'd definitely put that in the "need" category.

    Oh my god, you really DON'T need anything from that store. Also that zombie statue is like, the 3rd bestselling item on their 50 best products page.... wow.

    I love getting the Design Toscano catalog! It is so entertaining to look at all of the tacky things that you could buy for your house and yard.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. When I got my job, one of my requirements for taking it was to have that chair at my desk. That way I can direct about my peons with an inconsequential wave of my hand.

    Actually, I purchased their skeleton wall clock. (it's the guts of a grandfather clock sans cabinet) I love it. it is visually stunning and it is functional. Other than that, everything else, to me, is pretty much useless

    These are just egreious examples of things you don't need. I'm sure you could find plenty of things in your daily life that you don't really need.

    ted, you're sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

    I just received a catalog from them for the first time, which has me wondering what company sold them my information.

    It is the most entertaining, WTF catalog I have ever received.
