Would You Ever? // Cardboard Furniture

Animal "trophies" by Cardboard Safari, $30
Would you ever use cardboard as furniture or decor in your home? My first inclination is, "Nope." How would you clean something like that?? I can't keep coffee rings and water marks off of my wooden table, so something tells me I'd soak through a cardboard surface pretty quickly. But the casual, minimal room below looks kinda' fun!

My other concern is that Henry might take tiny little nibbles off of the corners! But as long as the material is non-toxic, it could be great for a kid's play room -- relatively inexpensive and easy to recycle when they are outgrown.  My aerospace engineer husband would love to assemble all of the pieces, and would probably have more fun with the rocket than the kiddo!

Do you remember the episode of "Trading Spaces" on TLC, when the designer used all cardboard materials to decorate?

They are cute! Do you know a furniture store selling cardboard furniture? I think this kind of furniture is just for the the kids. What do you think?
