It's about time someone has used this Idea. You should explain it in your description. I assume this is the idea of using a decorative coffin as a piece of furniture until your physical demise. I seemed to cause a bit of a stir when I made a coffin in my high school shop class back in the 70's. It serves as a storage box. Have you ever seen the fantasy coffins of Ghiana? Not only are they practical but they are wonderful sculpture pieces. They were profiled in National Geographic some years ago. Might be able to find it at there site.
