SEI Media Storage Ottoman
SEI Media Storage Ottoman Review: This ottoman is on par with a comparable ottoman from IKEA, though I feel this one is the better deal.

Flatpack furniture’s debt to Stonehenge
The key to understanding Stonehenge turns out to be a piece of rope. Having listened to landscape archeologist Tony Johnson’s talk at Hay, I think I got this right. He’s a “stuff the theories, show me the evidence” man, and the evidence points to rope and geometry the kind of string theory we can all [...]
