Picked up two of those 20 minute boxes at the printing house yesterday, but I have no clue what to do with them🫠Any ideas? Also can’t wait to get them cleaned up, they stink like sh*t😂😠(sure like the writing on them tho)

They look like a perfect container for a 3D printer. 😂
Why did you get them then? It‘s trash. They contained trash, now they are trash.
Bro why did you pick them up, if you don‘t have a purpose for them?
Congrats you now got trash, that you have to get rid of yourself eventually.
Sooooo many ideas come to mind.
* design lamps
* high bar or high desk
* Take the legs off and low furniture or low deco lamp
…
Same as back when Metropol was discontinued: One of their comic strips satirized the use of the newspaper stands to collect waste paper at home.
I’d get one myself if the footprint wasn’t as inefficient.
Just mount a toilet seat on it an call it a comment section. So everyone can take a dump into it.
They’re huge and ugly. Why would anyone want them. It’s just scrap metal, nothing more.
Mail boxes
Donate them to an art school.
Why on Earth are people hassling to pick these things up 😂
You could turn them into Little Free Libraries
Reminds me of people taking seats out of theaters when they get discontinued. You have to take extra steps to actually use the garbage you took home.
If you didn’t know what to do with it why take it? Anyway, surely at some point in time you’ll have some creative thought and then you’ll do that with them I suppose. Maybe the greater question is where will you keep them until that inspired thought comes to you?
If you have a cat, you could make a cosy cat bed?
Custom built aquarium to fit inside. That’s what I’d do anyways, it would be awesome lol
Special flower pots? Or modified to become aquariums?
Hochbett für pflanzen
Where did you get them? Are there still some available?
A saga is starting right here.
Garden furnitures: kind of aperitif tables. You stock some ustensiles inside the box.
If you’re anything like me they will sit in a corner for two years.
Put an aquarium inside
Custoom Computer case. If you have the money and experience.
Make art out of it.
Or a fridge, idk
Convert and make outdoor shelves for books to swap for free!
Altpapierständer like it used to be
Put a small PC, a speaker and a sensor inside. Then program it to shout out some random news whenever you walk by.
have you searched web already for “newspaper stand upcycling” or “repurposing”? There are some nice ideas if you scroll past all the “take-one-leave-one-library” ideas.
