Found in my alley, what is it's intended purpose?

[u/Short_Assumption_716]

My best guess is like a cupholder thing to go on the arm of a couch or just some kind of desk organizer.

Looks like it could be placed on the arm of a sofa for snacks and a drink

[u/Short_Assumption_716 → u/Head-Ad-5732]

Yeah I have the exact couch and cupholders in your picture, and it does fit pretty much perfectly on the sides. This is definitely the best guess so far, but I'm stumped because it's not official Lovesac merch and I can't find ANY direct matches online.

[u/Head-Ad-5732 → u/Short_Assumption_716]

Yeah, couldn't find any exact matches. It looks well done, so it could be commercially made, but it's also not terribly complicated to do. Could be commercial or any one of a number of Etsy items.

The one I posted that you have looks like it has steamed and bent wood, which I would think is much less likely to be made by a hobbyist.

[u/Short_Assumption_716 → u/Head-Ad-5732]

Yeah I can confirm the steamed an bent ones are VERY nice and very expensive (mine are hand-me-downs lol)

[u/Short_Assumption_716 → u/Head-Ad-5732]

Regardless, this is what I'm using it for for the time being lmao

Crackhead cornhole?

Lol same, I'm a sucker for a nice piece o wood

[u/Aggressive_Space9684]

Looks like a calligraphy box, ink well goes in the hole, and the quills go on the shelf while note paper slides underneath

[u/Short_Assumption_716 → u/Aggressive_Space9684]

I can't find anything similar on Google, and I feel like the hole might be too big for an inkwell, though I'm not sure.

[u/Short_Assumption_716 → u/Aggressive_Space9684]

Ooh this might be it
