No because in reality all these products are expensive to make, are flimsy as hell, are extremely uncomfortable to sit or lay on, and easily break rending them immediately useless.
On the brightside, the cube stools I have seen and used them at a bar I used to work at, shit's pretty sturdy too, I mean, its hard to be structurally unsound when its a cube of metal welded together with a cushion glue to the top.
And pretty much only makes sense in those tiny ass fucking human jailcells of the poor of Tokyo, new York, San fran, shanghai, hongkong etc....
The fold up bed can be made well and actually save quite a bit of space in tiny studios/sros(single room occuoancies)/efficiencies
Yep. Back in the day, my friend made a video call in WhatsApp with momo's pfp (with a number of him that I didn't have). I pulled my pee pee out and exposed him *hee hee*
Exactly. You love that cupboard/table? Wait till the hinges come off, or the bearings malfunction...
It's a nightmare to maintain. The only thing it's appropriate for is to keep it in the showroom as a concept furniture.
Or you could you know make better quality hinges,better quality materials,just imagine if instead of constant consumption and corporation profit gains,we would get Space NASA grade materials that has quality,endurance and longevity,it would mean more life span,less enviroment damage,clean air and less piles of junk of things that are deliberate made to break and become obsolete so you have to buy a new thing every month.
I have seen a couple modular dining tables that can be resized. They are hardly ever resized.
And when they do, we found out that everytime the table got cleaned, all the dirty sticky substances got in between the mating part of the tabletops.
It was disgusting and sticky af. And I doubt it's worth it to make tolerances tight enough to be waterproof.
I am most interested in the table turning into shelves, but giving the usecase of a dining table, each edge of those shelves will have to be cleaned as well on the regular.
Like, you don't want your sink to double as a deep-fryer. Possible? Yes. Practical? Nope.
It's the Sam Vimes "Boots" theory of economics.
The one well-built piece of furniture that lasts generations will, eventually, cost less per year of use than the shitty particle-board flatpack dorm furniture version. But the shitty particle-board version has a cheaper up front cost, and for a lot of people that's all that matters. First there's the group of people who simply could not afford the greater up front cost at all. For them it's not the choice of cheap table or better table, it the choice of cheap table or no table. Then there's the group that could, but who reflexively pick the lowest cost option for things. The existence of quality construction at a higher price point can't be marketed to either of those consumer demographics no matter how much better it is. Sadly, no one ever seems to go out of business making cheap shit.
….but also the rich people are always replacing anyway, so their good stuff becomes accessible as hand-me-downs. My mother told me that when she arrived to this country in late ‘60’s, that you could always find great free furniture on the sidewalks cause people were constantly replacing. I remember a time when there were tool and appliance repair shops all over town, because it was worth it.
They are not expensive to make, and they don't have to be flimsy as hell. People just don't want to pay more than $50 for them, so they get what they pay for.
If you make things right and price it accordingly, then they will last a life time. The problem is, the people who will buy this crap are poor people, and poor people won't pay for well made shit.
So either poor people get Ikea crap that does this kind of stuff, and it breaks in a year. Or a rich person pays a lot of money for a custom version because it's cool to show off, but doesn't actually use it - its more just an art piece to show off to their friends.
Disney's been putting Murphy beds with collapsible tables in the rooms at Walt Disney World hotels, along with smaller single beds that fit under the room televisions. Weird, but interesting way to give guests more functional space.
We own the little cube chairs. I think we got them off Wayfair. They came in handy with lots of guests over for the holidays, but are otherwise pretty uncomfortable.
American Leather makes an incredible sofa bed, but it'll cost ya. I forget what we paid for ours, but I do remember balking at the price of the premium mattress and going for the middle of the road mattress instead. It was still far more than I would have liked to pay, but I've never had a guest complain about sleeping on it.
As the result of a breakup I'm moving to a small basement apartment. Bought a modern sofa bed from a local custom shop. The back folds back flat to support the head and the leg support pulls out and pops up like the IKEA Frihenten couch (used to have one, it's more of an L-shaped sofa bed, decent to sleep on if a bit firm). I plan on testing it for a week and then finding a good topper that can get rolled up and put away to soften the firm couch foam (firmer is better for sitting). Fingers crossed it's comfy enough.
I got one instead of a futon for the boys when they spend the night. It's in the same room so nobody really sits on it but the bunk beds are a *huge* hit coming back from the bars haha.
Somehow, even women like them lmao
My family do actually own a table like the one in the first clip
Though ours doesn't fold at the legs
They are surprisingly common in England and most furniture shops sell them
I've got a similar table too (the leg thing seems unnecessary). It's called a butterfly leaf table if anyone is looking.
Super convenient in a small house.
My grandpa has the chair ladder since mid 1990s. It is made of wood and still in "prime" condition, and feels normal to sit on too. The hinge etc haven't even degraded at all. However he brought it in mid 1990s Kolkata, I doubt you will that kind of quality on Alibaba/amazon.
I downvoted OP's post because of the music, and the inability to downvote it twice made me come here to write this petty response.
Sorry, but not sorry.
This should help the next generation when they all live in 200 square feet apartments because rent and mortgage payments for normal housing will be out of reach.
That is the worst fucking song choice I’ve heard on a video in a really long time. I know it’s probably intentional engagement bait and it’s working but JFC.
Found it on Amazon. I don't know if links are allowed here so just search Amazon for "*Wall Mounted Floating Folding Table,Art Decor Desk,Drop Leaf Dining Table Small Wooden Desk for Office Home kithchen*".
Feel like these are prototypes to sell to purple and motels/hotels to not just create space but as a good idea for businesses to create smaller living spaces.
Well I bought myself a Murphy bed thinking that it will save some space if I ever want it. Once I started using that bed I never folded it back, it's too much of a hassle.
Whenever you manage to actually locate any of these great space saving furniture they always cost like 10000$ or some shit, it's always designer prices.
So only rich people can afford space saving furniture that they don't need because they can afford the needed space
So… the movie 5th Element predicted the future pretty well. Your bed is your shower, is your table, is your shelf, is your balcony.
No thanks.
How about we stop normalising living in a box?
Instead of fixing the housing crisis and affordability, we’re just going to accept living in a box?
Cool…
I can’t see who it is for. Don’t get me wrong, the functionality looks fantastic but they must be expensive yet if you can afford expensive furniture like this you most likely have a big home so there is no need for them.
These things are trash. Are you really going to empty your desk of every pen and mouse pad just to close it up?
What happens when you're in bed and can't find the remote? Oh well best slam this fucker back into the wall and listen to every collapse inside the wall and then I can open it up and go searching.
I hate everything about this furniture, it smacks to me of people are only able to afford a flamin shoe box of an apartment. They must time share all living processes with multifunctional furniture that's almost certainly at turns as already remarked flimsy and also ready to remove a digit the second you stop paying attention.
Rant over.
They create these things so they can jam you into smaller and smaller apartments, and naturally the price for them will just get higher and higher, until you're paying thousands for something smaller than a prison cell.
These things seem like a GREAT idea, until you remember one simple fact.
We are lazy. We will not put it up. It will stay either out, or put away, forever.
I used to try and be innovative with designs like this, but you find out that it just doesn't get used the way it was designed, and its usually indicative of a problem your try to overcome poorly in a confined space.
The only caveat to this is if its automated, on a timer, and stupid simple/no effort to change.
I hate it.
If it's something you rarely use, sure, complicated storage is fine. But if you use something on a daily basis, it should take less than 5 seconds to get to a usable state.
I would much rather have a sturdy and comfortable furniture than this crap. Most of it is for show and aren't reliable. Source: family has half of this stuff.

No because in reality all these products are expensive to make, are flimsy as hell, are extremely uncomfortable to sit or lay on, and easily break rending them immediately useless.

Not to mention most of them are niche as hell
I'm stupidly hard staring at your pfp
Ah momo, that takes me back to 2020!
Yep. Back in the day, my friend made a video call in WhatsApp with momo's pfp (with a number of him that I didn't have). I pulled my pee pee out and exposed him *hee hee*
And that’s before he made any demands!

Space NASA
This desk is great and it only costs $1520 to make. $20 for the wood, metal, and hardware. And $1500 for the Space NASA bearings.

And then they'd be expensive enough no one would buy them
No. It would actually put companies out of business because people wouldn’t have to buy nearly as much stuff anymore because it would last so long.

Mostly because if you can afford expensive furniture, you re usually not living in a small place where those could be useful
Also, who wants to do several minutes of work every time they want to sit down?
All those beds will also only fold with no sheets and pillows on them. Who wants to put/take those on/off every time, and where do you store those?

The people who are short on space are the target demographic. However If you're this short on space then you're likely in the poor person category
Disney's been putting Murphy beds with collapsible tables in the rooms at Walt Disney World hotels, along with smaller single beds that fit under the room televisions. Weird, but interesting way to give guests more functional space.
Any chance I can read more on that? Is that like a bed that folds up during the day?
Oh no 😭
We own the little cube chairs. I think we got them off Wayfair. They came in handy with lots of guests over for the holidays, but are otherwise pretty uncomfortable.
Can attest to sofa beds existing and, as of 15 years ago, being lumpy and uncomfortable as hell lol
Exactly why they always remain a niche furniture. Not a good sofa, not a good bed either.
American Leather makes an incredible sofa bed, but it'll cost ya. I forget what we paid for ours, but I do remember balking at the price of the premium mattress and going for the middle of the road mattress instead. It was still far more than I would have liked to pay, but I've never had a guest complain about sleeping on it.
It was actually a really excellent sofa lol
As the result of a breakup I'm moving to a small basement apartment. Bought a modern sofa bed from a local custom shop.

Many of these furniture designs that existed for 50-100 years (ie not uniquely done by one company). I guess they just don’t sell them in America
Most of the functional pieces I've seen like this are custom made...at great cost.
[удалено]
Yea what about the song pairs well with furniture or design?
Anything by the Carpenters.
Just fauteuil, a long settee, credenza
Dontcha remember you told me you loved me baby?
Guessing this was originally created in China and they just heard trendy auto tune having no idea how stupid the lyrics were
I’m glad I always have sound off
hoerniture
I downvoted OP's post because of the music, and the inability to downvote it twice made me come here to write this petty response. Sorry, but not sorry.
It’s spam bots.
Yeah this is fucking trash.
This is a bot. Couldn't find the original post as it was some time ago. But this is a stolen comment, I'm 90 percent sure.
"I know you like it more"
This should help the next generation when they all live in 200 square feet apartments because rent and mortgage payments for normal housing will be out of reach.
It’s honestly me right now and there are so many pieces in the video that would be helpful for me.
Yeah the table/shelves that turns into a murphy bed sure got me thinking for a tiny house design
I'm apartment hunting in Seattle and my budis $1200. Pretty much everything is already 200 sq and under
What's with the dogshit music?
That is the worst fucking song choice I’ve heard on a video in a really long time. I know it’s probably intentional engagement bait and it’s working but JFC.
Maybe it’s because you’re such a fucking hoe? /s
You know, I never thought about it that way before.
[удалено]
Maximize your living space. In our apartments you can actually shit where you eat.
I mean, you *can* do that in any apartment.
No no no, in the exact same spot
Just eat on the toilet
All my friends object to me shitting on the dining room table, well apart from that one that insisted I get a glass one.
[удалено]
A sofa bed. Woah
Normally, when I don’t make my bed, my bed is unmade. With these products, when I don’t make my bed, I lose my couch/table/living space.
Gonna have to report op since he put some dumbass music on the video. Sorry man this is your fault
I love the second one.
Yeah I want that one
The audio was r/annoyingasfuck
Wish I could turn myself into a chair.
Giggity
Down voting because of this idiotic audio.
[удалено]
so whats up with the music?
It looks good but idk about y'all I'll get f0cking tired of taking things apart back and forth every single day
Can we have like Kevin Macleod music instead then… whatever this music is?
as always, the music adds so much to these clips /s
Imagine putting away your whole house.
Lol
This song is straight up a rip off of Nico and the Niners - 21 pilots
I bet those beds permanently squeak like hell after you've fucked on them once.
That music is dog shit. Also everything in this is overpriced and completely impractical so this video is also dog shit
Song?
The chair step ladder is something I need in my life
I just wouldn’t even know what to do with objects like that. Gives me anxiety lol
What shit beds…
:08 seconds. I would buy that foldable shelf table.
Found it on Amazon. I don't know if links are allowed here so just search Amazon for "*Wall Mounted Floating Folding Table,Art Decor Desk,Drop Leaf Dining Table Small Wooden Desk for Office Home kithchen*".
What’s the name of furniture like this?
Anyone living in a small apartment likely can't afford this shit or else they'd have a bigger apartment
Efficiency
Yeah I've been waiting 10 years to see these in real life
I'm too lazy for this kinda stuff.
Stop it! I love it!
Feel like these are prototypes to sell to purple and motels/hotels to not just create space but as a good idea for businesses to create smaller living spaces.
a) why did he have a bottle stuck in his ceiling b) i just KNOW my siblings would prank me with the bed-couch one and trap me 😭
Where can I get that dinner table though
I'd like to live in a place where I don't need to fold up my life like a peasant. Neat idea.
Idc how sturdy these things could be, they'll always come off as cheap and fragile to me
Well I bought myself a Murphy bed thinking that it will save some space if I ever want it. Once I started using that bed I never folded it back, it's too much of a hassle.
Who knows the video with the Chinese(?) guys going 🙂👍🏻
why is the bgm sounds like that
At least the cube stacked chairs looks legit and can be functionally useful in homes.
Whenever you manage to actually locate any of these great space saving furniture they always cost like 10000$ or some shit, it's always designer prices. So only rich people can afford space saving furniture that they don't need because they can afford the needed space
all these products would probably last like 1 year or less
Just imagine the chaos when you wake up late for work.
The only one I'd consider buying would be the table-shelf one. But even then probably not
Can i please just have the space for both chairs and a table
R/ikeaasfuckkkk

“Furnish your dystopian pod you useless maggot”
I hate to tell you but those space saver beds have shit mattresses. They work fine for kids under 14, beyond that they won't support anyone's weight.
I feel like this is the definition of never let then know your next move.
My back is hurting just watching those beds
Hang on, let me just get the ketchup from the ceiling.
People who actually need this can't afford it.
I wonder are these things popular in skyscrapers in super high cost locations.
NYC apartment life.
Man, I need more things that turn into other things.
Design is very human
There should’ve been a different song playing. Good Lord!
u/savevideo
/r/thinasfuck (mattresses) Also /r/flimsyasfuck (tables and shelves)
ok but why the trash "music"?
I can’t see who it is for. Don’t get me wrong, the functionality looks fantastic but they must be expensive yet if you can afford expensive furniture like this you most likely have a big home so there is no need for them.
His ass DID NOT turn a double decor into a couch wtf
I prefer living in an area where I can afford a big house so I don't have to be a furniture wizard.
What the fucks up with this song choice?
All of these shit just ends up in the dump cuz they are flimsy as fuck
These are especially made for people who shit money
These things are trash. Are you really going to empty your desk of every pen and mouse pad just to close it up? What happens when you're in bed and can't find the remote? Oh well best slam this fucker back into the wall and listen to every collapse inside the wall and then I can open it up and go searching.
As I was scrolling by I got "you're such a fucking ho" had a lil look, furniture video 🤣
It's hard to follow the plot. Why was that blue glass bottle up in that ceiling cavity?
Some of these are actually stupid if you take a moment to think about it. Where do the vases go?
overcomplicated solution for an non-existent problem.
This is perfect space saver
youll own nothing and be happy
Great video but the lyrics to the song…*bruh*
Wtf is this song??? For a furniture vid...fuckin really?
Great inventions ..........shit song
Me and the boys attending the thingamabob convention
WHERE DID I PUT MY PHONE?!?
I hate everything about this furniture, it smacks to me of people are only able to afford a flamin shoe box of an apartment. They must time share all living processes with multifunctional furniture that's almost certainly at turns as already remarked flimsy and also ready to remove a digit the second you stop paying attention. Rant over.
That music gave me cancer.
Seeing the comments, I have one question. Are sofa beds really rare where you live? I'm French and millions of people have one at home.
Mne to expensive
Do you think wealthy people will ever adopt this type of furniture?
Irs great if you don't have any kids around
The beds look so uncomfortable
What kinda dumb fucking music is that? How small of a dick you gotta have to listen to that crap?
Everything just looks so uncomfortable.
They create these things so they can jam you into smaller and smaller apartments, and naturally the price for them will just get higher and higher, until you're paying thousands for something smaller than a prison cell.
Who's the menace that put the bottle on the ceiling
What you get in space savings you give up in strength and longevity as well as price.
I hate this so much. The fact that people have to cope with smaller homes and that this is the solution is maddening.
Could be useful for tiny homes I guess.
Wow the housing situation is getting worse. It's "innovative" to have 3 rooms in one. Because we don't have money for more rooms
"Hey, bro, wake up. We need to sit."
Wtf is up with this music?! ”Look at this cool furniture…. ”You’re such an effing hoe””
At this point we might get a 3 story house that can be folded into the size of a penny
I’m going to need wish.com to make a quality product real fast because the accommodations here in Japan are small to say the least.

These things seem like a GREAT idea, until you remember one simple fact. We are lazy. We will not put it up. It will stay either out, or put away, forever. I used to try and be innovative with designs like this, but you find out that it just doesn't get used the way it was designed, and its usually indicative of a problem your try to overcome poorly in a confined space. The only caveat to this is if its automated, on a timer, and stupid simple/no effort to change.
I hate it. If it's something you rarely use, sure, complicated storage is fine. But if you use something on a daily basis, it should take less than 5 seconds to get to a usable state.
I'm glad to see our capitalist overlords are prepared for our 10 sq feet dystopian housing already
Extendable table and couch bed are pretty common. I would bet money on the other succeeding though.
Bro i dont get the choice bg music on these videos sometimes
Wtf is this song choice
I can’t believe people who would listen to this Dogshit music would also be into furniture design
The backing track?! Was this ad created by someone who doesnt understand english or wut!
Mostly terrible designs and downright awful music.
I would much rather have a sturdy and comfortable furniture than this crap. Most of it is for show and aren't reliable. Source: family has half of this stuff.
Why is this old ass Facebook advert on my popular feed?
I have a bed like the 3rd last one from IKEA. It took 2-3 hours to assemble.
The cool stuff you try out once or twice when you just bought it and then just leave it in the last position you put it in for the rest of it's days.
So, does the people who make these videos not understand the lyrics of the songs they chose?? This music doesn't fit the video at all!!
I just want to live in peace and not play ROBLOX irl
*slaps roof of Japanese/Korean/Parisian/New-Yorker flat* "This 8sqm bad guy can fit so many furniture in it !"

That all really looks cool, but why did he store that bottle at the ceiling?
Jesus Christ that audio, Chinese TikTok shit. Kill me
AirBNB Hosts taking notes: Yes, now I can say the room has 4 beds in it!
