well, simply put, a FEDEX furniture is a furniture made up of empty fedex boxes!
 if you have them lying around, you can have a fully-functional couch, a dining table, chairs, desks, even a bed! http://fedexfurniture.com/ blueprints/design specs are not yet available, but perhaps we can all incessantly request the fedexguy who made these furniture to hurry up with them.

 the site is currently unavalible. But I do know what you are talking about. I saw a show on television once where they showed this guy who had figured out how to make all sorts of furniture out of cardboard boxes. He made a lounge chair- I don't even think he used tape.I believe he even started a company where you can buy some cardboard and the plans for various things. |

Ha ha and you thought FedEX was only good for delivering packages. Now they've got their own line of home furnishings!

update: the site is back up, but for how long this time, that is the BIG question mark.
apparently the site has gained the attention of the fedex lawyers who wanted to shut the site down, so it was down for weeks. here's a WIRED article on the brouhaha the lawyers raised: Furniture Causes FedEx Fits http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,6...tw=wn_tophead_2 |

Talk about creativity! That web page is proof that there's more to Fedex than just packaging and delivery...Don't have any furniture for your home? No worries - Fedex comes to the rescue!

That is awsome. I wish I had that much spair time! If that guy does get sued he could just use normal boxes no harm in that.
