Nice idea, not so nice execution?

Looking to improve your Reading Experience? Through a tip on LISnews, I learned about the Bibliochaise, an "armchairlibrary."



If you go to the company site, you can test how it looks with different paint colors and wood finishes. But I don't know. Where do you put your feet? Your drink? Your head?

In other example of the What-Doesn't-Work-Quite-Right world, here's a video showing how many clicks it can take to find Time Magazine at the Penn State University Library. Note to library profession self: gotta fix that.

What intrigues me the most is that the website says that it can be "disassembled". Can anyone say bibliochaise-to-go?

I'd need a Bibliochaise with a ladder and the seat 10 feet off the ground to even start storing my book!!
