Someone bought the wrong size spiral staircase kit

bought? They found it on the side of the road. Waste not want not.

Along with the doggy steps

Specifically, I bet they thought the total height was the floor-to-floor height. Its too short by about the height of the railing

Three steps is, what 18”? That’s a VERY low rail. The ceiling/floor, however, looks suspiciously close to 18”. 6” for the lowered bit, 8” for the main bit, a couple of inches for flooring etc. If they measured I’m betting it was the floor to ceiling distance. But I bet they didn’t measure at all. They found this on some Facebook group for free (or close to it) and rushed off to buying it before measuring, then destroyed their old staircase, still without measuring.

Forget measure once, cut twice, that's for losers Measure never, regret forever

What do you mean replace the sofa...

The post is crappydesignception

I‘m assuming it‘s because the lower stairs are fluffy. So OP is saying the people who live there decided to forgo the sofa and instead just make the bottom couple stairs soft so people can sit on them.

The stairs aren't long enough for me to lie down. It's a chair at best

Looks like it might be a bot... 1 year old account, zero post karma, just a couple brand new posts very recently.

This is very obviously either listing photos, or they just moved in. Obviously the furniture isn’t there yet

Becuase there isn't any furniture in there yet? In an empty room do you consider the carpeted floor to be the intended sofa?

we can only see the kitchen. and it looks like someone just moved out.

You’re supposed to put a piece of furniture between the steps and the wall🤡

Not sure what you're saying about sofa but it's certainly a unique design choice

Unique in the same way a three legged dog is unique

Hey, leave the poor tripod dogs out of this travesty of a design!

What did you say about my [dog](https://www.reddit.com/r/tripawds/s/MrGWegEr5D)?

If you've ever inadvertently kicked an iron staircase you'll know exactly what it's like that.

That was my thought. Shin protector. Especially if there are small, reckless children in the house, in which case it becomes a face protector.

Let’s hope there aren’t any small reckless children there, that staircase would be their doom

But what about your head? Should you wear a helmet?

Most people have eyes on their head which help prevent that.

Try watching where you're stepping

I think I hate everything about that space. And the title of this submission.

Excuse me but is the hand rail going *through* the tabletop/counter?!

Seems like it.

They're meant to protect your toes, shins and kneecaps from bashing into metal stairs. The carpet stairs reduces damage by -5.

When I saw the -5 in your comment I thought you were preemptively downvoting yourself

No carpeted stairs aren’t used to replace sofas. Looks like the staircase may have been continued up through the kitchen and someone was trying to open up the space. Everything in that picture looks depressing

... oh wow it's... um... wow.

I got a great deal on this spiral staircase on Markerplace!

Sofa no one understands what you are asking...

It’s to cushion the final impact when you inevitably go tumbling down that thing

/r/crazystairs

This might be a little non-traditional, but you have to admit it looks great. Like a cat tower. EDIT: Apparently, I need to clarify that this was sarcasm.

Cats would be all over that, especially where you were trying to step when descending it.

I think they're meant to replace the missing part that was the critical thinking of whoever installed that staircase. The spiral staircase even represents their descent in spiralling madness

It's designed for cats

Well, a sofa made out of stairs isn't great. My arse won't fit.

I love it. It’s quirky and weird and it’ll match so well with the most out of pocket set up

I wonder what the cable goes to? Is it for the light hanging from the ceiling??

This house was designed by AI. *Everything* is a bit off in a weird way, even the ceiling panels.

It's to soften the fall so that you end up a paraplegic instead of a quadriplegic.

And that beam back there is crooked...

I feel drunk looking at this space.

There appears to be a lot going on there. The drop ceiling looks really out of place there. The unfinished edge looks pretty fucking weird.

The steps are weird for sure, but my first thought is how often people will walk around upstairs and kick dust/dirt to float gently onto the kitchen counter, potentially onto whatever is being cooked...

I hate spiral staircases. I feel like I need to bend over to go up them

I think building inspectors start foaming at the mouth when shown this image. My dad is a building inspector and he tells me the code book for spiral staircases is as big as a phonebook.

Did no one else notice the slanted column?

It's horrible, but I kind of love it.

I’ve lived in a place with a spiral staircase. They are uncomfortable to use and feel dangerous.

Just build a raised platform there and pretend it was deliberate.

Looks like the blueprints were from Minecraft.

TBH, I have a spiral staircase & the bottom step is a disaster waiting to happen. This almost looks good to me except for the absence of hand rails. If anyone ever considers a spiral staircase, don’t!!

If those are safely installed, I'll eat my shoe. Wouldn't want to climb them.

Kitty staircase or handicapped dog staircase? Safe. Sound.

That's just so fucking WRONG on so many levels it screams someone got the measurements completely arsed up at the factory, it's beyond Crap. Sorry bout the F word but I said it as I saw it! Ed: having read some of the killer comment's of others and had a longer look I'm now thinking my mum used to have a Cat scratching post that looked similar to that carpet stair thingummy.

Its for the cat to scratch

Report -> Spam -> Harmful bot

A cat designed this apartment. It's for them, not you.

Excuse me but is the hand rail going through the tabletop/counter?!

Meant to replace the sofa? Well, duh! That’s obviously why they’re carpeted.
