The Emperor's New Tree Slice
OMG, this definitely falls into some sort of alternate reality. They are selling this WOOD SLICE at West Elm for...
...wait for it...
...wait for it...
$29.
No, that wasn't a typo or a misprint (at least not here, you could make a case for it possibly being an error on their site). They are really selling a wood slice for nearly thirty bucks. ONE wood slice!
Now I can appreciate that the main office is in Brooklyn (I believe), and they did specify that it's an acacia wood slice--the implication being that this is a super rare tree slice and should be coveted accordingly-- but let me pass on a little secret to you West Elm people:
Trees and slices of same are readily available all over the country.
If you, the reader, are looking at this tree slice and saying to yourself, "man, I have really got to get me one of those $29 tree slices," then I will make you a deal. I will sell you a tree slice for $20 and we will both make out like bandits.
But let's keep it on the down-low. I still rent.
