The milk one is cute, but it seems impracticable. It wouldn’t hold that much milk in it at all.

the milk carton *looks* great, but I can’t help but be the one to think of functionality… do you even realize how difficult it would be to get that last bit out? like one of those ball table mazes (you know those are hard).

I think the chair is cool, and the periodic table. Why, the others? Farcical product semantics.

I love the ‘Table’ table.
Final, all the other letters look like the right size and proportions to be seating. I think the ‘b’ would work as a bench on one side. The like the ‘l’ and ‘e’ looked joined, and would work as a bench on the other side. The a could easily be a chair at one end. Voila, seating for 5!
