I realise I've seen the phone booth in image 11. Part of what I appreciated about it was the seeming impossibility of making it. It was very much a distorted phone box. And it's not like you could run a computer program to chisel it out from a uniform substance. It was a phone box made from distorted versions of all the parts involved in creating a phone box.

"Hey I want to buy this, how much?" and "Can you send me photos from another angle?" But I'm not. I'm just like the MSM!  However if it IS a photoshop, that still takes a bit of skill.

A photo from another angle or something high resolution would have been nice. Even the larger version of this has a LOT of noise, and not just JPEG compression artifacts. While the armoire itself just seems too low-res to tell, it looks like someone added noise to the image in Photoshop. I don’t want to just shout FAKE on this thing, but this seems dubious at best.
