Pencil bench erases your butt, feels pretty nice

I'm not sure I would want to sit on this bench, especially if I had important documents in my back pockets that might get erased. The "Pencil Bench" attempts to incorporate everyday office schwag into a semi-comfortable piece of furniture. The next iteration will hopefully not be the "exploding ball-point pen bench".

If you wear jeans with a 28 inch waist and 32 inch inseam - you can't have a butt to erase.

Assuming they're normal pencils, wouldn't they break if you try to shift/scoot sideways?

Judging by the size relative to the butt, I'd say those are the extra huge pencils that are like 1/2" in diameter. Of course that could just be an optical illusion due to the abnormally small 'tocks. Someone needs some pork on their fork.

They're normal diameter pencils, but only 4" in length. Very comfortable bench!

I don't think I've had 28/32 since 8th or 9th grade. Those were the days.
