As a woman, this is neat, but it needs paint. Lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I would say that paint depends on what style the room is overall.

Looking at the bed for comparison some paint would be needed, however comparing to the shelf it might be an industrial looking and if that is the case paint wouldn't be necessary and cinder blocks can fitt into it.

In conclusion, we need more pictures of the room to determine paint or no paint and colour.

I just sleep on the floor in a circle of boxes with my things in them. Get on my level.

I have problems with it.

For one, all the edges are scratchy. You run the risk of roughing your hands every time you reach in to get stuff.

For another, I (and my boyfriend, who I had the urge to spritz with a bottle of water when I saw this out of reflex) have ADHD, which is rough for proprioception. In other words, we aren't so great at judging the relationship in space between ourselves and furniture, and bang into it a lot. In other words, when we inevitably punch this cinderblock trying to reach in to grab something, or bang a hand down on it just trying to reach for a phone, we're going to skin our hands and that's blood we don't need on random surfaces.

Finally, as someone else pointed out, when we inevitably bang our feet on it, now we're lookin' at a broken toe.

(For the record, I told the boyfriend I saw this and almost spritzed him with water, and he laughed.)

Well, I can see how it could be problematic for people with those issues. I do have issues but not those, so I didn’t see a problem.

It's something to keep in mind if you have clumsy friends or in case you might get a clumsy boyfriend or girlfriend. Or in case you drink sometimes.

Jesus could you imagine stubbing your toe on that in the middle of the night

Well, for one thing, I'd not be walking into that wall anyway.

I like it except would definitely have to put those little round felt pads for chair feet under it to protect the floor.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

And pad the corners for my elbows!

The zyn counteracts the silicosis : /

Everything seemed fine until I saw the Zyn stand.

What is that? I mean, is see the two blue things on the wall, but I never heared the term. Is it something American?

Nicotine poaches, tobacco less.

Uhg, that means… that cup is his spit container, the fresh water is in the bottle.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Nicotine pouches you swallow flavored saliva, no spitting. So its a cup for water and the jug would be for piss.

My grandmother had a stack of these in her basement and had them all crisscrossed. It is where she stashed her money. She claimed it was fireproof, she didn't have to memorize a combination and nobody would take the time to pull them all apart if they didn't know what was in them.

looks fine too me (i use cardboard box pieces as shelves)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

remember the days when you could find giant wooden wire spools to use as furniture? Those were better days. They even had holes predrilled in the middle if you wanted to use it outside as a patio table. They were much better tables than the crap thats on sale today.
