TV Packaging Stand turns waste into furniture

tv_packaging2.jpg

There's too much waste in electronics packaging. TVs, for example, come packed with so much Styrofoam that you could kill off an entire endangered species with each purchase. Why throw all that material away? You might as well use it for something.

That's the idea behind the ingenious TV Packaging Stand. Once you lug your new set into your living room and unpack it, you can use the packing materials to form a decent-looking stand. It'll save you money on buying some crappy Ikea TV stand, and it'll save the environment from your trash-tossing ways. Everybody wins.

Is Styrofoam really that tough? I mean, it sounds like a good idea, and looks nice in the picture, but I'd think twice before plunking an expensive screen down on my waste - eh, styrofoam... You get what I mean.
