Champagne Chair and Caviar Footstools

You're bored. You're at a ritzy party. You have a champagne bottle and a pen knife. What do you do? Well, you could go on a killing rampage (broken bottle, pen knife, liquor fueled angst); or you could enter the DWR Champagne Chair contest.
I thought, "yeah, little chairs and stools." These are-- to quote Robin Leech-- off the hook.
Grand Prize is a $2,000 DWR merchandise certificate. 5 more winners each receive a $500 DWR merchandise certificate for highly-coveted designer furniture and accessories from Design Within Reach.
I know what I'll be doing next holiday season...

When I see the same people in front of the camera at 6AM and 5PM and 11PM, I think: "Where is Labour Relations? How can these people be forced to pepper a 17 hour day with three newscasts?"
