On first look, you wouldn’t think this bed and shelf were made from recycled paper, would you? These furniture and a few other designs make use of Zboards, which is in fact an eco-friendly, paper based recyclable product from Waybasics. No trees have been chopped down to make these.

You’re probably wondering how sturdy these sets are. Waybasic says Zboards are

are constructed through our patented process and are made from multiple, overlapping layers of paperboard and corrugated paper that combine to withstand tremendous pressure. For instance, our founder weighs 185 pounds and when he stands on our Cube it can easily bear his enormous weight. Way Basics furniture can hold a small library of books when it’s reinforced with additional vertical zBoards. For example, we recommend placing no more than 80 pounds on our Rectangle horizontal zBoard surfaces, but it can bear up to 200 pounds when reinforced with an additional vertical zBoard.

Well, I bet you never thought they could look as attractive and as trendy as these below, huh?

These design ideas come from Apartment Therapy and I know one of these days, someone is bound to make a bed topped with a mattress off it. In fact, someone may already be doing so!
