IKEA test house?

There was a Grand Designs (I think?) episode where a women used this for the entire interior. It looked horrendous. Host bending over backwards to be polite about it etc..

As someone who ADORES bare chipboard, and glazed brick tiles, and whose favourite colour is green... I ought to love this, but jfc it is nightmarishly bad.

Ouch, right in the eyeballs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

This is peak design

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

The combination woth the awful tiles plus the non-matching color of the floor ... Ooof.

And waferboard isn’t exactly cheap either.

im feeling splintery

I actually think that it looks alright! I wouldn't pay extra for it though

Looks like someone tried to go for an industrial look but didn't get it quite right

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This could work as an aesthetic choice but you'd have to finish it really well in order for it to last and for you to be able to keep it clean. Buying normal cupboards would probably be easier and cheaper.

the longer the stove's in use the more burned grease droplets and soot will soak into the boards around it. Horrible idea.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How much they could have possibly saved, considering also the expensive skilled labor to install it? £100 on a £2000 kitchen?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

You might be surprised. Materials costs have skyrocketed since the pandemic. (I'm in the trades, not just talking out my ass)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

That is ODB raw.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Going for that 7DTD look...

Doesn't that board have hella binders and toxic shit? Why would you want that anywhere near your food??

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

There are different versions for interior and exterior use, using different types of glue. At least OSB/0 and OSB/1 can be used for internal applications and are considered safe. Not that I would trust a landlord doing this to select the correct board type, especially since the safe variants might have some issues with the humidity exposure in a kitchen.

But there still are many cases for using OSB indoors, e.g. behind drywall to give it some more strength (instead of more expensive plywood). Wouldn't want to leave it exposed in a kitchen though, it'll get messy if it's not properly treated, and in the picture it doesn't seem to be.

I don't know if it's different now, but when I studies cabinetmaking we were told that that shit outgasses urea formaldehyde for years. I wouldn't want that in my home.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Why would you want it near ... ... ... anything?

What the fuck is wrong with us?
