We Don’t Know How To Feel About This Tentacled Cot

Katie Mythen-Lynch

In a world where everything trendy is handmade, personalised or monogrammed, it turns out there might still be such a thing as too bespoke. 

Atlanta-based woodworker Garrick Andrus was commissioned by a pair of very creative expectant parents to create this towering hand-carved tentacled ‘Eldritch’ crib.

Both side panels are intricately carved, while the tentacle posts stretch upwards towards the ceiling, casting some very creepy shadows on the walls.

The new dad, Imgur user Rentdownstairs who shared pictures of the finished piece on the site, revealed: “My wife and I wanted to get a custom crib to pass down as an heirloom to our children.”

While there’s no denying the woodwork and craftsmanship is magnificent, the reaction online has been a mixture of awe and sheer horror.

Ravadin said: “If I could get this, my husband might be up for five-six more kids.” while another user added: “Dat kid gona have nightmares.”
