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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.
