15 Absolutely Baffling Choices in Stair Design

Via: scenceyeaux on Reddit

Look, I’m sure it’s very hard designing buildings and such. It’s not something I’ve ever tried to do because I do not know anything about it and I 100% would get someone killed.

But if you’re hiring someone to do it, maybe don’t go with the cheapest guy you can find on Craigslist, because that person probably didn’t go to “how to build stuff” school either, and he’s gonna make some choices that will destroy your mind and also your back.

Choices like these staircases.

15. Blending in

Now that’s what I call trippy.

14. Stealth: 100

What kind of horrendous troll would do something like this?

13. Stair into the void

For the lemmings in your life.

12. Wood that I could

I’m sitting down and somehow I slipped while looking at this photo.

11. Handicapable

Ya’ll aren’t super clear on how wheels work, huh?

10. Hitting a wall

“City code says we gotta have stairs, doesn’t say they gotta go anywhere.”

9. Over the line

Visual clues, people. VISUAL CLUES!

8. Step by step

It’s like a staircase made from the trays on a booster seat.

7. Falling for it

Cool design, terrible placement.

6. Watch your step

How many lives have been lost to this?

5. Form over function

“I’ll just put a bunch of crap on my tiny, railless staircase.” – someone with a death wish

4. Zigzag

Again, looks cool, terrible in practicality.

3. Sep up

Who is this for?

2. You’re cut off

What’s a blueprint?

1. Floating away

“It’s all good, I’ll just never go downstairs.”

Remember – measure twice, cut once.
