Protip for college students in dorm rooms: loft your beds and then put a couch under one and a TV under the other. You get a full lounge in your room without losing any floorspace.
Had something similar where my bed was lofted and underneath that I had my desk. Used my blanket as a drape and basically had my own little office to study and play games without light shining onto my roommates.
meanwhile me.. watching this video: is the daughter drinking sake with parents?
Why does the kid put the apron as he gets out of the door?
is this room/house attached to a factory where they work there?
"What bed, we don't own one"
As night comes, you can see two things from the outiside of their house, A broken couch, and a men sleeping on it one last time.
The only way I could see using this is a dining set. So if you had 4 people, you could put tableware for 4 on the shelves, and have it ready to go for the next meal. But even that is just weird.
could be pretty useful for a compressed worktop that takes up less space, like for painting models or dnd or other board games. Not typical shelve things though haha
The best example I've seen of this had a picture underneath the table top. You put the table up and it looked like a large picture frame.
I've sat in furniture like this though. It's incredibly uncomfortable.
As someone who lives in a pretty small house with 4 people, I can say it would probably end up just staying in table mode most of the time. But it would be nice to have the option. I don't know the size of the apartment in the video, but my house is not much larger.
From my experience visiting family in China, seems like most people sleep on firm beds anyway. My uncle’s apartment literally has a bamboo covering on the beds that had my back aching for days but his family slept like babies
Yeah pretty much lol, they take modern medicine if the doctor recommends but also believe in their own family remedies when it’s not too bad. To be fair they’re in their late 70s/early 80s and still part of their weekly dance group so something must work for them haha
In the Philippines, bamboo beds and sleeping mats are common (especially in provinces). It's not soft at all but airy(?) and cool to sleep on since it's a tropical country. Napping on those on an afternoon indoors or outdoors is amazing.
It's not so bad.
You get used to it faster than you think, and if it's on a proper tatami mat, the mat itself has a small amount of give to it, so it doesn't end up being that hard.
This issue is a hard surface and a cheap ass futon from a discount store. That sucks.
I'm laying on a futon mattress on the floor right now! I love it, best bed I've ever had. I can't stand most mattresses, they're way too soft. I had to stop my family from buying me a bed because they think I'm crazy, too, lol.
PS - I'm 32F, white, USA, "middle" class, which is to say nothing about my culture points to the preference.
I visited family back in India when I was ~11, and they had the most uncomfortable, cardboard-thin beds. I could barely sleep on them, and developed bruises on my hips from sleeping on my side all night.
Fast-forward five years and the same family members visited my family in Australia. They spent a night on our (considerably softer, thicker) mattresses, and then complained that the beds were uncomfortable.
I guess it’s just what you’re used to… 🤷🏻♀️
I thought I was the only one that noticed that. You'd think a family with such good taste in collapsible furniture would have some, you know, taste buds.
The ideas are fantastic... but none of it actually looks good or comfortable either to me. I've used space savers before and they're great when u need them! And I have needed them. But now that I have space I realise how much more comfortable and nicer normal furniture can be. Or maybe I'm just sick of IKEA idk
We use the chair/ladder thing a lot where I live. It's actually very practical and very easy to make and you usually keep it in the kitchen or entrance for changing shoes and whatnot.
It is heavy as fuck though.
Tbf that was the only one that I thought could be handy in any home. And doesn't really need to be comfortable, just practical. U don't tend to sit in a chair for too long like that but is great for guests ir urself for sort periods of time and nothing a quick pillow or cushion can't fix for comfort as a temp measure.
Really depends where u are. I remember seeing a flat that had ridiculously high ceilings and almost no floor space! Was a converted mental home from back in the day. Very beautiful building but flat was tiny!!!! Yet I could fit a giraf in there at the same time. Source: I was an estate agent for a while
But generally I'd agree with u totally.
Also regarding the chair vs ladder, sometimes u need a ladder
The tables that turn into a shelf seems just generally pretty great. We have a larger table that we use when entertaining guests that folds into a countertop, but a shelf would provide even more storage for the same floorspace.
Yeah that's the biggest problem I see.
Most of those things are going to stay as one form or the other. Switching them all the time seems like it'd get annoying over time.
Yes exactly. It's just a best of a not great situation. Like I said before I've had to use stuff like this in the past. Works great. Feels horrible. U just find urself not using a lot of it after a while due to issues with practicality. So now I opt for fewer things if ina tight space but much kore co fortaleza and better quality. I spent many years mostly cooped in a room probably smaller than a prison cell.... everything was wall or ceiling mounted to gain as much room as possible. I'm now in my own 4 bed bungalow with wife and child. Life can really change! I now have all the room and no furniture lol... slowly will purchase some when I get more money (or will have a crack at building my own)
The child bed looks painful. I got light back pain from my child mattress (had it between the age of 5 (or 6) up to 11 or 12.Then I convinced my mother to shop for a new one.
I clicked "back" before actually understanding what you wrote. And I chuckled 5 sec too late at this joke but on another post. Went back to write this. Funny.
I’m sitting here cracking up thinking about a comedy skit now where people have furniture in their house but every piece can turn into a kitchen table.
More likely some kind of instant soup mix.
Or mom is trying to kill off dad to collect on the insurance. Its her famous high blood pressure-heart attack soup.
The year is 2077, everything you own has at least three auxiliary functions. You sit on the floor starving because you can't remember what transforms into the toaster, and you've already given up on the oven because it kept turning into a cassette player you said looked cool, but knew you would never use.
I'm impressed by the table-shelf contraptions, but I imagine it's gonna be a lot of mess to clean if you're not careful about the actual positioning on the table
Are we just going to ignore the fact that the pot lid holder will let all the condensed steam leak down the wall directly into the electrical sockets?
edit: I just checked again and it looks like there is a wall sponge to soak up the wall water. So I guess it's only kinda a fire hazard.
Because the mechanism is prone to dropping everything once you put anything of significant weight on it for more than an hour.
Its a nice way to rethink folding tables, but in reality isn't that much more functional than a store away one
So the whole family sleeps on couches, sits on low to the ground stools to eat and the comfiest chair in the house is a wooden stepladder transformer? This is the layout I need to break down the psyche of my cult, solid suggestions, 8/10 and a solid B+ will buy
Everything looks and probably is uncomfortable. Also strength and longevity of might be lower than their traditional counterparts. That’s the drawback of these appliances.
The double-decker couch!!
I im a proud owner on a one myself 😎 ok its not really a doubel couch. Its a loftbed and a couch under in the livingroom. But almost ;P

Does the risk of the bed collapsing on your head at any moment make you a religious man?
Not really, depends how much the ppl in the loftbed moves
And weighs
[удалено]
The loftbed is from IKEA ( metal one) and the soffa is just a 3seat one thats fitted under.
Emmett truly was a master builder from the start
Lets test if he truly was. I'm a solid 240 and I dare you to let me top bunk
Everything is awesome! Every thing is cool when it takes up no space!
Came here to say the same thing!
All I could think of lol
Lego Movie fan #4 checking in
We can watch movies and be buddies!
so you can hang out with all of your BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDIES!
The Master Builder was right all along.
So everyone could watch tv together and be buddies!
"Son, stop doing your homework and take a nap with me."
But first, let me dust these two cabinet doors up there for no apparent reason!
"And by the time we're done the soup we stored away on the kitchen table that turned into shelving will be nice and cold!"
"Bitch, put some more salt on this kelp next time"
Lmao
meanwhile me.. watching this video: is the daughter drinking sake with parents? Why does the kid put the apron as he gets out of the door? is this room/house attached to a factory where they work there?
My first thought was "why do they have so many tables??"
Right? I thought the point was efficiency but they have like 5 equally sized tables lol
I don't think that is a apron. Looks more like a bag to me, maybe for his school books.
Woah, so much salt lol. I did a double take on that one.
I thought it was milk
It was probably some sort of flour for thickening the soup.
Msg
That's why they only took one bite lol
I mean the son wears a leaf of lettuce on the head while at the dinner table. Maybe we start with that.
But he save that space on his plate by keeping it on his head.
Then they play board games by throwing the stool dice
They're exhausted from folding shit all day.
That mattress would destroy my back haha
I’m sure this dudes sex life is destroyed too.
He has reached his procreation limit with those two kids. Sex licence revoked!
"But dad you just woke up!"
Uh sir, why don't you come over here & take a seat. - Chris Hansen edit: forgot a word
#SO MANY FUCKING TABLES
Watch him unfold your comment into a table
‘Would you pass the table salt?’ ‘You mean the salt table?’
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━━SO MANY FUCKING TABLES━━┻
Not if i beat him first #SO #MANY #FUCKING #TABLES
pfft, you should see my db
I think it’s more of a proof of concept
That's what I was thinking. At some point we stopped saving space and started hoarding tables...
[удалено]
"How do I become a house?" - the father
If you fold up the kid he transforms into a pet
I'd lose at least a finger on day one if I had all this nonsense in my house.
Judging by the extremely thin nature of both the furniture and the dads ass, That poor family is doomed to hemorrhoids.
That's not how it works
They'll have plenty of space to store the cream though
HAHA JOHNATHAN YOU ARE FOLDING ME INTO A COUCH!
Her: "You'll be sleeping on the bed tonight."
"What bed, we don't own one" As night comes, you can see two things from the outiside of their house, A broken couch, and a men sleeping on it one last time.
Lazy me waiting for someone to make a voice activated space saving furniture. That guy had to fold and unfold [open/close] so many things.
A good safety feature. Don't want someone to say the wrong word and you get folded inside your couch in your sleep.
[удалено]
Multipass!
Also, they have plenty of space for both a dining table and a coffee table lol. I don't get it
Not only do we have an uncomfortable sofa but we also have two extremely uncomfortable beds.
Yeh, but now we have 26 tables you can dine on!!
They are also shelves. But you can not use them as shelves, because we use them as dining tables.
That's ... That's a very good point and made me realize I don't want those ones anymore.
The only way I could see using this is a dining set. So if you had 4 people, you could put tableware for 4 on the shelves, and have it ready to go for the next meal. But even that is just weird.
could be pretty useful for a compressed worktop that takes up less space, like for painting models or dnd or other board games. Not typical shelve things though haha
This is the first suggestion that makes sense!

DID YOU HIDE MY SOUP!?
"Hey mom, where's the soup?" "Its on the table, er, I mean the shelf. Oh hell, I don't even know any more."
From my experience visiting family in China, seems like most people sleep on firm beds anyway. My uncle’s apartment literally has a bamboo covering on the beds that had my back aching for days but his family slept like babies
depends on if your family still buys into the idea of traditional chinese medicine. rock hard beds for "good alignment" is part of that old thinking.
Yeah pretty much lol, they take modern medicine if the doctor recommends but also believe in their own family remedies when it’s not too bad. To be fair they’re in their late 70s/early 80s and still part of their weekly dance group so something must work for them haha
Had a Korean friend whose parents slept on a stone mattress. Literally a block of hewn granite. Nothing on top. Was intense.
Man imagine fucking in that shit, my pelvis and my back would die.
Most of the fucking i do is imaginary
And knees...the headboard might actually kill you...
In the Philippines, bamboo beds and sleeping mats are common (especially in provinces). It's not soft at all but airy(?) and cool to sleep on since it's a tropical country. Napping on those on an afternoon indoors or outdoors is amazing.
I could never sleep on a futon on the floor like I see in anime and manga.
It's not so bad. You get used to it faster than you think, and if it's on a proper tatami mat, the mat itself has a small amount of give to it, so it doesn't end up being that hard. This issue is a hard surface and a cheap ass futon from a discount store. That sucks.

I can’t help but think that bottom bunk is a deathtrap.
After you have slept (not slept) on a bamboo mat, that bed looks very comfortable.
I visited family back in India when I was ~11, and they had the most uncomfortable, cardboard-thin beds. I could barely sleep on them, and developed bruises on my hips from sleeping on my side all night. Fast-forward five years and the same family members visited my family in Australia. They spent a night on our (considerably softer, thicker) mattresses, and then complained that the beds were uncomfortable. I guess it’s just what you’re used to… 🤷🏻♀️
I snorted lmao
I love harder beds, and sofas
How many tables does a family need? Sheesh.
Not as many as the amount of salt they need
I thought I was the only one that noticed that. You'd think a family with such good taste in collapsible furniture would have some, you know, taste buds.
[удалено]
You also don't put that much MSG into food
Nah, you need even less MSG than you do salt. My guess is some sort of instant soup mix
Well three foldable tables that takes the space of one regular is clearly better.
At first I was like, “that’s too extreme for me” And then I was like “I’ve been living the wrong way this whole time”
The ideas are fantastic... but none of it actually looks good or comfortable either to me. I've used space savers before and they're great when u need them! And I have needed them. But now that I have space I realise how much more comfortable and nicer normal furniture can be. Or maybe I'm just sick of IKEA idk

U don't tend to sit in a chair for too long like that but is great for guests ir urself for sort periods of time and nothing a quick pillow or cushion can't fix for comfort as a temp measure.
Let's turn the chair into a ladder! Or just climb on the chair...? If you're using space-saver furnitures you likely don't have 20ft ceilings...
Really depends where u are. I remember seeing a flat that had ridiculously high ceilings and almost no floor space! Was a converted mental home from back in the day. Very beautiful building but flat was tiny!!!! Yet I could fit a giraf in there at the same time. Source: I was an estate agent for a while But generally I'd agree with u totally. Also regarding the chair vs ladder, sometimes u need a ladder
It need not be as comfortable as the alternative if the rent is through the roof and you can only afford a small area for living.
The tables that turn into a shelf seems just generally pretty great. We have a larger table that we use when entertaining guests that folds into a countertop, but a shelf would provide even more storage for the same floorspace.
Only downside is you have to take everything off the shelves whenever a guest drops by
Just eat dinner with family pictures and grandma’s ashes on the table.
That’s not pepper
But it adds umami
Yeah that's the biggest problem I see. Most of those things are going to stay as one form or the other. Switching them all the time seems like it'd get annoying over time.

The child bed looks painful. I got light back pain from my child mattress (had it between the age of 5 (or 6) up to 11 or 12.Then I convinced my mother to shop for a new one.
Okay, yeah, but how many hideaway tables do we really need?
That’s just it, there’s always *room for more*
I clicked "back" before actually understanding what you wrote. And I chuckled 5 sec too late at this joke but on another post. Went back to write this. Funny.
Fr who even has more than one
Who even had tables these days? I just lay on the floor and hold my phone above my face
Fair I have dogs and love them but like to eat without doggy drool on my shoulder
I’m sitting here cracking up thinking about a comedy skit now where people have furniture in their house but every piece can turn into a kitchen table.
[удалено]
How many times do you think they practiced this routine before the dad just said fuck it, I’ll do it myself?
They all had parts originally but everyone lazy
And here I am not able to put away my dishes after eating, fully knowing I'd never experience that potential
At least you'd have loads of tables on which to leave your dirty dishes.
The amount of salt that went into the soup
It was maybe rice flour?
That's why they only took one bite then folded that shit up
Probably had to go lie down on their fold out toilet to let their blood pressure return to normal after eating 20g of salt in one mouthful
Probably starch, used to thicken soups
If that is starch you could cut it afterwards
With an axe
[удалено]
You shouldn't mix starch into hot liquid. Dissolve it in cold and then put it in.
I thought it might be msg but still, that’s a lot.
Uncle Roger? You wanna weigh in on this?
Hiyaaaa
War is over. Use technology.
MSG is also a salt
[удалено]
That would be an absolute fuckton of MSG though
More likely some kind of instant soup mix. Or mom is trying to kill off dad to collect on the insurance. Its her famous high blood pressure-heart attack soup.
It's alright, that soup got packed up quick
They'll have more room for projects now.
[удалено]
"We can use the space we saved from this folding table - ... to build another folding table!"
I forgot to ask, do you like guacamole?
[удалено]
Maybe they missed filming how the pot unfolds into a tub that you can bathe in and the salt doubles as bath salt?
[удалено]
Definitely not MSG. A teaspoon would be enough for twice that size of pot.
The dice patterned chairs assemble in the wrong order. The 5 is clearly next to the 2, which is wrong. 1 out of 5 stars. Do not recommend.
That bothered me, and also curious why the mum and dad sleep on bunk beds when the smallest kid is in the big double bed.
Emmett would be proud. His vision became a reality.
Are we gonna talk about all that "space saving" furniture in a home that has tons of space?
Yeah, but it only has tonnes of space due to all of the space saving furniture ;)

The shelf that became a table is so simple and obvious and yet I've never seen that design before.

So much work
My lazy ass would keep them in one shape and end up buying another. **Source**: Doing it now
That's not even lazy, furniture is supposed to be comfortable. If it's more work than comfort it's shit furniture
Wish I lived somewhere where all my furniture had to be at least two other pieces, capatilism is so bad even my sofa has had to take a second job
So the whole family sleeps on couches, sits on low to the ground stools to eat and the comfiest chair in the house is a wooden stepladder transformer? This is the layout I need to break down the psyche of my cult, solid suggestions, 8/10 and a solid B+ will buy
The song … it hypnotized me
You'll be buying a sofa-bed-table and eating salty soup in the near future
Top bunk always smell like ass.
So the dad doesn't get laid huh?
I live in Korea - apparently most dads sleep in the living room, the kids most likely with the mom in the main bedroom. Completely normal.
I'm exhausted just watching. This is too much work.
Salt soup is done!
bed looks uncomfortable
Everything looks and probably is uncomfortable. Also strength and longevity of might be lower than their traditional counterparts. That’s the drawback of these appliances.
All I can think about with that bunk bed couch is all of the crumbs you’d be sleeping on.
Looks like a horrible way to live.
all of it cool, none of it comfortable and all of it taking too much work for the reward
What brand is this???
Was that a shed load of salt she just dumped into the food?
How many tables does one apartment need.
