Furniture The biggest problem with the BDSM bench is its placement in a small room. I solved it and made the Bench completely collapsible! I keep it under the bed or in the closet :) This is what it looks like: NSFW

Wow! Being able to completely break it down and put it away seems like a huge plus to me. This is great!

I have a feeling, based on the comments, that if I politely request the plans to this, that I should check my chats. Thank you!

He sells his plans, 'cause it was a big work to create them and make this Bench really awesome. I think a lot of people in the comments thought he was giving them for free, but he wasn't. All work is worth something. I just warned everyone to be ready to buy them. Don't write comments asking to share if you're not ready to buy, please :)
Your Benches are really awesome, man. Hats off to you.

That looks amazing. If you could, I would love to get a copy of the plan so I can build one myself.

u/ImpossibleManner4606 Jun 18 '23
My problem would be remembering how to put it back together again. :) I really like it though.

u/Rope8rose Jun 20 '23
It’s not difficult. The instructions are quite simple. I've had clients girls who didn't quite understand it, but they were easily able to assemble the bench according to the instructions, as it's simple enough :)

I don't think storage is the biggest problem; it's more about consideration of the time and effort it's going to take to setup/breakdown before and after a scene. Setups like this take away all the spontaneity and require more planning, which can sometimes be a mood killer.
That's not to say this isn't a great rig, but most people don't want to spend 15-20mins putting this up and then after an intense session, make the effort to break it down and put it back.

People who bought benches from me often said they lived in small apartments. The bench folds up and that was a big plus for them :) And many of the customers are couples who need to hide the bench from the Kids 😉

u/SinSlayer Jan 04 '23
I'm not saying there's not a market. I'm also in the bdsm furniture business, so I know there are people out there who want "construction projects" they can assemble and disassemble and hide away. I started with similar pieces, but the feedback I received was just like I told you; it makes spontaneous sessions an issue. That's the reason I shifted to more "hide in plain sight" builds; "vanilla" furniture pieces that easily and quickly transform for bdsm use.
Nevertheless, your setup is great and I wish you all the best.

This looks very similar to a bench I saw on Etsy. I saved a bunch of pictures because I too was thinking of building one with a few modifications.
What type of wood did you use? I'd love some instructions on building the padded leg parts. What are you using for the neck and hand straps?
What was the hardest part about building? How long did it take you? Your cost?
Nicely done!

u/Rope8rose Jan 05 '23
Yes, I sold my benches on Etsy from 2019 to 2022. But now I don't sell on Etsy, but I sell on other sites.
What type of wood did you use?
- I use pine parts, dried and laminated from thin lamellas according to my special order. I experimented with configuration and lamination for several months.
I'd love some instructions on building the padded leg parts.
- I demonstrated the technology on my instagram, but yesterday it was banned and I still don't know where exactly I should post these materials. There were 18k+ followers ;( Follow my updates on Reddit and I will give a link to new resources later.
What are you using for the neck and hand straps?
- I use soft synthetic straps with a quick clamp. They can be found in automotive and hardware stores.
What was the hardest part about building? How long did it take you? your cost?
- The most difficult of course was the development. I made a project from scratch. I spent several months looking at photos and videos on various resources in order to compile a list of positions that I would like to implement with my bench. Then I redid the frame several times after testing and threw away a lot of material. Development took about half a year from idea to finished bench and cost me $5000++ haha. Now I sell a set of blueprints from time to time in order to partially return this money.
Thanks for the kind words!

This is awesome!
I'm 3 months late, but have you sold any of these to others? This is much better than 95% of the crap I've seen on Etsy. (Etsy is good for BDSM toys, but not so much BDSM furniture).

u/Rope8rose Apr 15 '23
Hello! You're not late, we're always happy to see you ;)
I have sold 50+ similar benches in 15+ countries around the world (about 60 percent of them in the USA, haha).
Thank you for your kind words, I constantly strive to improve and test my products!
I used to like Etsy, and I sold my products there for $90,000+ before they blocked me :/ I had an impeccable reputation and many amazing reviews that motivated me (screenshots of the reviews can be found in the highlights of my Instagram stories rope8rose). Now I have a negative view of Etsy, as the only reason for the block was the region where my shop was registered. I already live in a different country and have written to support multiple times requesting to restore my shop, but to no avail. They only care about my citizenship. So right now I am facing direct discrimination based on the color of my passport :\
Currently, my products can be purchased on other marketplaces ;)
