Rubik's cube chest of drawers

Step 16 Solve the cube!

Add the "stickers" however you like to get the design you want (store the leftover nine stickers in one of the drawers, of course!). Change the stickers and make a new piece of furniture. Take it for a spin. Play some Scrabble (or 3D Settlers of Catan). Leave it in the middle of your living room as a coffee table. Bring it with you to a park and confuse strangers. Organize your underwear in high geek style. Talk to it. Sit on it and slowly orbit. Put your favorite boardgames in it. Challenge people to solve it one handed, and/or blindfolded, and time them. Use it as a stand for your prize-winning laser-cut, LED-lit, Arduino-controlled, solar-powered, steampunk-themed, EL wire-crocheted Halloween cupcakes...

Want to buy one? I'm going to make five sometime this summer (2012). They will be to an improved design (bigger lazy Susans, different joinery, high quality Baltic birch plywood, simpler magnet system) and be slightly smaller (a little over 500 mm a side). They'll cost about $800 + shipping (about $150-200 to the US, slightly less in Canada). If you're interested, send me a PM and you'll get first right of refusal.

Thanks. Looking at the prices of commercial cube-based furniture (see step 1), which are both a lot simpler than this, I suspect it would be *really* expensive, unfortunately.
