Skateboard design for the skater with taste

Categories: Teens & tweens, Toys & games, That's entertainment

A coatrack made from skateboard wheels.If you've got a teen who hangs out at the skatepark more than the ballpark, leaves textbooks at home in order to have room in their locker for their skateboard, and would rather read Thrasher magazine than Playboy, then chances are, you've got a serious skateboarder on your hands. There's nothing wrong with that, of course -- I used to ride a skateboard pretty much every day, albeit more as transportation than as recreation.

The only thing is, skater life doesn't seem to be all that compatible with high fashion when it comes to interior design. That is, until now. Skate Study House has developed a line of furniture made with actual skateboard parts that would look at home in your teen's bedroom or in Martha Stewart's living room.

There are coffee tables, lounge chairs, and shelving units, but my favorites by far are the Astro Clock and the Hang Up, both of which incorporate skateboard wheels into the design. As for prices, well, if you want a price list you have to ask and if you have to ask... I guess I won't be hanging my hat on a skateboard wheel any time soon.
