Kids' furniture shaped like giant books

Jean sez, "I am an unabashed book and school supply nerd. This furniture is designed for school and public libraries (so it is sturdy!! and easy to clean) but I think I may just have to get myself a book bench or an oversize pink eraser!" Link (Thanks, Jean!)

I love BigCozyBooks! I met Erik and his daughter Lindsay at the ALA conference in DC last summer, and fell completely in love with their giant pink eraser. I ended up trading a custom Book Purse for an eraser, and it is my favorite pillow ever.

One of these days I will get myself a giant book chair, they're incredibly comfortable, and even better looking in person.

Note however that, as shown in Batman comics, oversized props tend to attract fights between costumed maniacs. Make sure that your insurance covers this!

I want an adult-sized one with my favorite book titles on it. Excellent juxtaposition in my libe at home with the antique desk.

And you're truly famous now, Cory. Love the A.V. Club bit.

Halfvenus, the ones I sat on were definitely big enough for adults, I'm 6'1". Email them, I bet they would consider a custom order with your favorite titles.

I like it but I bet I could buy it at IKEA.
Adult sized ! Funny; It's kinda a nice looking chair. Not big on the burgandy, navy, olive color scheme though.

It's a slow day here on the west coast.

When I build my dream library in my dream house, I'm so getting furniture from them. Want!

i would have this persistent, irrational fear of being slammed inside one like a bug.

*WHAM!*

Hi there! This is my family's company and although I may be biased I can assure you that you can't get anything like this anywhere else. I love designing new things and even more than that I like hearing what people think about it. Yay for absurd furniture that makes us all feel like we're kids again!

Books are SO 20th century.

I want to sit on a giant soft Kindle.

Did anyone read the products page?

"Everyone loves our Pencils! When it is incorporated into a floor plan, it is permanently attached to a Book Bench with seat belt straps and steel rods. We know from experience kids are only too happy to SMACK their friends with it! If you prefer to hang yours from the ceiling or other high spot, we're happy to build it without attachment straps.

The Tented Books look more comfy, you can sit on the floor and lean back against them.

@Katiekaboom: sorry about you and Chicken-Boo:
