Display skateboards:
Display skateboards turns your skateboard deck into Skateboard Furniture. The Steel Hairpin Legs bolt directly onto your board.. Bolt the legs onto any regular size skate deck and you have your own killer skateboard furniture. Great for use as a table or chair in dorm rooms or living rooms. A durable, versatile piece of furniture.
Display skateboards is a project I started a few years ago with my younger brother who is a furniture designer. I came up with the product idea and worked with my brother to produce a product blueprint. Then I negotiated with a local furniture manufacturer to produce the product at volume. You can purchase a set of legs and turn your skateboard into a piece of furniture at displayskateboards.com
