Local Internet retailer soaks up April Fools' fun

Wayfair.com, an online retailer of home products and furnishings, announced today it has launched HydroRoom, a collection of furniture featuring sofas, armchairs and ottomans that each ship in a small pill-sized capsule and expand in the home when water is added, to coincide with April Fools' Day.

The HydroRoom collection will be available to the public this summer. Customers must soak the capsules in a bucket for 15 minutes before placing the piece of furniture in the desired location. The piece then will gradually expand to its full size within 24 to 36 hours as the water activates a polymer and triggers foam expansion. Happy April Fools' Day.
