The Philadelphia-based skateboard furniture company, deckstool, creates beautifully crafted stools and benches out of the recycled remains of broken skateboards.

The boards are recovered from skate hops and skate parks across the USA. Deckstool recently redesigned their signature stools to be even sturdier and more eye-catching than their previous incarnation. The boards and benches can be purchase at deckstool’s Etsy Shop.

You can see the stool’s old design in our previous posts about deckstool and its recycled skateboard furniture.
