I'd love to snag a couple. so I’ve kindof kept up with searching around online since these first got posted and I’m wondering if they’ll ever be available for purchase? I’d love to snag a couple.

I would personally run into that 5-6 times a day if it were in my house. My legs would be all tore up! It seems like a cool idea… if not practical.

They look like concept pieces, but I'd buy a couple if I could find an online store selling them!

Jeez. Do you really think it's more likely you'll be tripping and falling and hitting your head in those areas if you have these things to hit it on?

Looks like you'd still have the cord all over the floor/table since I'm not aware of too many electrical sockets mounted 4 feet high in the middle of a wall. Still, a modern looking rack and a few pegs to coil the cable around and these would be pretty functional. Better yet, instead of having to replace the cover itself, a plug-in cover would be great (like those 2 -> 6 socket converters). eCh, I’m not a fan of faux animal stuff, even if it’s plastic antlers on an electrical socket.

I believe they were talking about the antlers on light switches, but if not, keys and 120v outlets have always been a winning combination. Personally, I think these are awesome, but that aside…

But unfortunately for little billy this isn't as easily put away before he comes to visit. And some things, like electrical outages, should have advances that make them safer, not stupidly more dangerous. They could have just as easily made a shelf that attaches over the socket. Why stop at sharp-protruding objects over sockets? Lets put Sharp antlers at the side of your tv to hold the remote. And sharp spikes on the side of the fridge to hold your car keys. And little hooks on the microwave door to hold your fork while you microwave crap. MEH I say! MEH! Thanks Jill, I was actually aware that not everything is child-friendly.

And psychomar, there are a whole lot of really neat design elements that just are not kid friendly. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be allowed to exist.

These are stupid dangerous. Now kids can have the option of electrocuting themselves or blinding themselves as they play with sockets. It has antlers, its obviously one of your toys little billy.
