Hampton started working on his throne in 1950 and didn't finish it until 1964. That's 14 years of dedicated craftsmanship! He used all sorts of junk materials like foam board, cardboard, and old furniture to create this flamboyant piece of art. It's estimated that he spent over 10,000 hours working on it - that's like working full-time for 5 years straight!
The throne itself is a surreal experience, with twinkling lights, colorful fabrics, and intricate details everywhere. It's like something out of a fantasy movie! Hampton even added 180 pieces of furniture to the throne, including chairs, tables, and even a few mysterious-looking boxes. What's inside those boxes? Your guess is as good as mine!

One of the funniest things about Hampton's throne is that he never showed it to anyone while he was alive. It wasn't until after his death in 1964 that his secret masterpiece was discovered. Can you imagine having a million-dollar work of art in your garage and not telling anyone about it? That's just too cool!
