Safe Bedside Table by James McAdam

08.15.mcadam2.jpgDefensive home decor?

James McAdam apparently had that in mind when he came up with the Safe Bedside Table.

To come up with this design, he either has a vivid imagination or he's lived in some really shady places...

The table can be dismantled to form a shield for protection and a club for, well, offense. Made of solid cherry and steel.

I think a gun in the nightstand is a more classic statement.

how long does it take to disassemble? this could be crucial...

Ha JosieDaisey!
Speaking of guns and decorating, I found the cutest little bullet hole in my bedroom wall....how should I decorate around it? So adorable. Must be a 22....so tiny for a Texas bullet hole.

It is only safe if the owner doesn't get beaten with it themselves.

Hilarious. It would supplement the Louisville slugger hidden behind the drapes very nicely.

Lol, Jabber!

And wow... this is kinda cool. Of course, if you put anything on it, it'll make a racket when you disassemble it.

I hope it comes with suggestions of how to explain it to the odd overnight guest....

But what do you do with all the beer cans and condom wrappers on the table top when you hear the intruder? ;)

And that pic of the guy wielding the table leg cracks me up.

He's got nice arms, though.
