It is illegal to sell hollowed-out logs as beds.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

Dating back to the early days of statehood, sanitation and health officials discovered that hollowed logs used as cheap sleeping arrangements were massive breeding grounds for bedbugs and disease. To improve public hygiene, the sale of such primitive furniture was strictly outlawed. Today, it mostly just ruins the business plan of extreme rustic furniture makers.
