[–]RommelTJ 18 points19 points ago

Ouch. That price tag.

[–]guzz12 18 points19 points ago

Wow. $300? I was thinking like.. 50? Haha

[–]codygt07 12 points13 points ago

And that's for the tiny one!

[–]Arcon1337 11 points12 points ago

I could get them commissioned online for a fraction of the price....

[–]man_of_many_tangents 18 points19 points ago

I want to take you up on this statement. I've been periodically surfing the Internet looking for a cheaper version of these for years and have turned up nothing. I would love to hear about where I could commission these for a fraction of the price

EDIT: accidentally a word

A grandmother, usually any grandmother. But just start knocking on doors near you until you find one. She will have a sewing machine, you bring her felt, cotton filling (or beads like bean bags), and let her tell you stories. She will do it free.

Seriously, these are just large awkward shaped pillows. If you have a sewing machine you could easily do it yourself.

[–]man_of_many_tangents 5 points6 points ago

I get what you're saying, but I suspect that when you are going for a particular type of awkward, the sewing gets harder, not easier.

You'd think if it was really that easy we'd see some sellers making them on etsy in those sizes, but I can only find pebble-sized felt stones.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I suspect the difficulty in these is moulding cushions to resemble the shape of stones.

Anyone can make a felt covering that looks like stones, sure, but once you shove any old stuffing inside of them like bean bag beans or cotton they will stop resembling the shape of actual stones.

You can get the foam blocks, but one that's tall enough to double as a couch is insanely expensive.

2x4x6 foot: $1000.

[–]man_of_many_tangents 2 points3 points ago

Oh, I see. What you meant to say was "these look too expensive for what they are. I wonder if they could be made for less?"

[–]OremLK 0 points1 point ago

You really hit the jackpot on this one. Laughs. Collectors will be lining up to buy this thing.

[–]moomooland 0 points1 point ago

each! not even for a set!

[–]doctorsound 9 points10 points ago

Compared to other large, high quality bean bags, that's really not that unreasonable.

That being said, I can't justify that price.

[–]zeppoleon 6 points7 points ago

It makes sense...it's basically a work of art. It's a functional sculpture.

When you look at it like the the price tag is actually not that bad.

[–]tightspandex 1 point2 points ago

For only 6 at that...with the big ones being around 2 feet long.

[–]skybike 9 points10 points ago

I would have to troll someone so hard if I had these and put a real stone and wrap it with the same fabric. Anyone tries to kick my pillows around is gonna get some broken toes.

[–]scooterjunky 3 points4 points ago

That is exactly what I thought, these would make for a great and painful practical joke. Hopefully they wouldn't go diving head-first into a pile of real boulders.

[–]skybike -2 points-1 points ago

But on second thought, hopefully they did exactly that.

[–]ForcedZucchini 5 points6 points ago

Why would you need to wrap it in a stone design fabric. They are stones.

[–]Aleriya 11 points12 points ago

Presumably a guest could tell the difference between stone fabric and a real stone.

[–]amazingboy97[!] 16 points17 points ago

Those kids aren't sleeping, they've been crushed to death.

[–]Arx0s 4 points5 points ago

They're all dead!!

[–]turkproof 2 points3 points ago

Rocks fall. Everyone naps.

[–]wondertwins 2 points3 points ago

I guess these gnomes haven't heard the phrase, 'between a rock and a hard place.'

[–]Beast_Ice 2 points3 points ago

good for a novel picture, not much else

[–]SickZX6R 0 points1 point ago

The one girl is laying on the floor. Am I the only one that thinks these would be very uncomfortable?

[–]jaskmackey 1 point2 points ago

Those candles on the floor look so dangerous.

[–]washichiisai 0 points1 point ago

They're in water, floating, I'm pretty sure. I don't know what sort of room has water in it, though. Indoor pool maybe?

Either that or it's a mirror or glass, which also don't make sense.

[–]chevymonster 0 points1 point ago

Read that to mean the Rolling Stones ... expected picture of stoned rockers ... wait ...

[–]robcrusoe 0 points1 point ago

not shit this is fuckin' sweet!
