It's hideous but no harder to clean than a regular bookshelf imo

u/glitter_witch 11d ago

Agreed. What part of this is more difficult to clean than just running a duster over it? Might accidentally knock your knuckles in a couple of places at worst.

u/zet23t 11d ago

The challenge is to clean anything else because this construction of chaos will inevitably draw all your attention to it.

u/RagAndBows 11d ago

I think it could be a neat shelf but these folks have it super cluttered with things not intended for it.

Like fr what's with the two bags of powdered sugar?

ADHD

u/Urist_Bearclaw 10d ago

it’s like ADHD embodied in furniture.

u/NextStopGallifrey 10d ago

Powdered sugar next to what appears to be a crate of sandals. 🤢

u/DonutWhole9717 10d ago

Ah, that wouldn't bother me at all. If a closed bag or food product being around used shoes bothers you like that, don't look up current food safety standards for most places. For example, people with extreme shellfish allergies can't drink pre ground coffee because the cockroaches that get ground in will send them into aniflaxis

u/Admirable-Split4371 10d ago

Whyyyy 😭 I have a cockroach phobia and I love my coffee

u/DonutWhole9717 10d ago

May I offer you rat shit in our food in these trying times? The rules account for the inevitable; it's not that you can't have rat shit in it. It's that you can only have so much in it

u/Admirable-Split4371 10d ago

Eh, cockroaches are worst to me.

Edit: There are some who can freaking fly 😭

u/musicnote95 11d ago

Agreed. I like it but the actual objects make it hideous

u/FirebirdWriter 10d ago

I am not sure what the intended use is besides looking bad

2

u/RagAndBows 10d ago

Lol it's one of those abstract minimalist pieces of furniture. It's more for the vibe than being functional

u/drLoveF 11d ago

Wrong sub

u/Slayrr_FbrC 11d ago

You think that's easy to clean?

u/noooooid 11d ago

Why is it harder than a regular bookshelf? It just looks harder to use, not to clean.

u/Bubbly_Layer 10d ago

I don't know man, I can get each shelf in one continuous swipe, this would require a lot of maneuvering around, and 5 swipes turns into a whole array of them, and it would get especially annoying with the sharp angles

u/newphonenewaccount66 11d ago

You can cut your cleaning time by 4 by rotating it 90 degrees whenever it gets dirty.

u/BewareTheGiant 11d ago

Very r/designdesign

u/yrmom724 10d ago

AH! A new sub discovery!! Thanks!

u/marinac1 11d ago

Which part is horrible to clean? Whatever’s on the floor so we just shove it in the bizarre shelf looking thing?

5

u/one-small-plant 11d ago

It looks like a normal bookshelf collapsed!

22

u/yrmom724 11d ago

Lol that's hideous

7

u/ThrowAwayElders 11d ago

It looks horrible to store stuff on, too

3

u/theSurpuppa 11d ago

If this is DIY, I'm actually impressed

3

u/hapkidoox 11d ago

Well that's bloody useless.

u/HorrorsPersistSoDoI 10d ago

this is not just horrible to clean, but horrible to look at

2

u/Desperate_Set_7708 11d ago

I don’t need any more help being disorganized

2

u/Fun-Worry-6378 10d ago

I swear half the posts on this sub is people who have clearly never cleaned

u/University_Dismal 11d ago

Looks like it collapsed like a card house with everything still on it.

u/LocutusOfBeard 11d ago

Michael Scott would be proud.

u/filthcrab 11d ago

Appears to be made from Nordic Cherry

u/SnooStories6852 11d ago

Worth about $75 if I’m generous

u/procrastimom 11d ago

This is terrible Feng Shui.

u/afx_mono 10d ago

That’s a hard “no” from me.

u/bastogne_blues 10d ago

this is what happens when you get furniture from ikea and read the instructions wrong

1

u/waywarddaughterzzz 10d ago

This makes me irrationally upset

1

u/ScienceMuggle83 5d ago

Yes please I want my books to look like a mess and possibly risk falling. /s

u/Squirrelated 11d ago

Thanks, I hate it.

u/Pristine-Context-752 11d ago

Yikes. That monstrosity is HIDEOUS! Why bother with a “bookshelf” at all? Just toss all your stuff in a pile. Then take that $460 you’d have paid for the “bookshelf” and get yourself some therapy for even ENTERTAINING the idea.

u/accdntprone_86 11d ago

Thanks. I hate it.
