The Safe Bedside Table 24 Aug 2007
The Safe Bedside Table was designed by James McAdam in response to a recent report that found that 50% of Londoners keep some sort of makeshift weapon close by while they sleep (for self-defence purposes). When not in use it looks like your average bedside table but during a break-in it can be converted into a club and shield combo. Burglars beware!

Yes, very good, but just make sure you don't stand on that base unit's spike with your bare feet.....

Pesonally I think it is an awsome idea, but I prefer something more reliable for fending off intruders, like a shotgun

One small flaw, It,s dark at night so a built in flash light to blind the intruder and help you locate them would be great addition.
