Product design is a well-paid profession for a reason. While it may be tempting to cut costs and corners by going DIY with a YouTube tutorial instead of hiring a professional product designer, unforeseen consequences lurk for the untrained and unprepared. That said, it can be quite fun to have a laugh at other people's mistakes, and mistakes are no more obvious than when it comes to crappy design and engineering because they are there for all to see!
We here at Bored Panda have collected even more examples of hilariously bad design, following on from other posts here, here and here. How these funny fails ever got approval is just mindboggling, and really makes you think twice before attempting that kitchen replacement you have lined up! Perhaps consider calling in a professional. Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to upvote your favorite design fails!
