Love it. Quirky benches are cool, but personally I'm more of a mechanical pencil fan. With this bench you probably need to be pretty sure to sit / stand vertically, coming in at an angle would surely break some pencils, right?

We're having a bit of a discussion about quirky benches over at http://www.chickenmonkeydog.com/please-not-to-stop-in-the-chickens and we'd love to hear your thoughts as someone in the "quirky bench" know.

More informative than I expected from the summary I've seen in a couple places so far.

One caveat is that at distances larger than the size of a magnet, the force will start to drop off as 1/r^4, which is really fast. If you had an unobtainium small magnet that can pick up a car at 10 cm, it would struggle to pick up a paperclip at 3 meters.
