Software developer Jose Avila said he could not afford new furniture in his new apartment so he decided to make all of his furniture with boxes.

"They are amazingly sturdy," Avila said. "I feel a lot more comfortable shipping stuff with FedEx just because of the fact that I know they are sturdy. They will take my weight standing on them or jumping up and down of different pieces of furniture."

Avilla said the cost-effective FedEx furniture worked so well for him that he wanted to share the method with others. He created a Web site that included building plans and material lists to create FedEx furniture.

FedEx was not amused, Local 6 News reported.

1. Fedex must pay a fortune to supply that high quality stuff

Apparently they give it away as a cost of doing business, not to steal and make free furniture with. There are probably some kind of crazy liability issues with this too.

2. I'm going to build a house out of FedEx boxes

Including solar panels and all that shit. I'll save thousands.
