In response to a comment we received last week, your hint for this week’s What the…? is that it’s absolutely not a coat hanger, bench or chair. So what is it? Or rather, what are they?

Mull this one over, and give us your answer in the comment area below. Tomorrow we’ll announce who was the first to guess correctly.

looks like old venitian blinds reused to me
I think they are like files or a rolodex sort of thing for paper orgranization! They seem sort of space efficient.
looks like a funky hand dryer! while the blades are spinning, the water is blown off!
