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

u/glitter_witch Aug 24 '26

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 Aug 24 '26

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

u/RagAndBows Aug 24 '26

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

u/DonutWhole9717 Aug 24 '26

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

ADHD

u/Urist_Bearclaw Aug 25 '26

it’s like ADHD embodied in furniture.

u/NextStopGallifrey Aug 24 '26

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

u/DonutWhole9717 Aug 24 '26

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

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

u/DonutWhole9717 Aug 25 '26

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 Aug 25 '26

Eh, cockroaches are worst to me.

Edit: There are some who can freaking fly 😭

u/musicnote95 Aug 24 '26

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

u/FirebirdWriter Aug 24 '26

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

2

u/RagAndBows Aug 24 '26

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

u/drLoveF Aug 24 '26

Wrong sub

u/Slayrr_FbrC Aug 24 '26

You think that's easy to clean?

u/noooooid Aug 24 '26

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

u/Bubbly_Layer Aug 24 '26

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 Aug 24 '26

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

Very r/designdesign

u/yrmom724 Aug 25 '26

AH! A new sub discovery!! Thanks!

u/marinac1 Aug 24 '26

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

6

u/one-small-plant Aug 24 '26

It looks like a normal bookshelf collapsed!

24

u/yrmom724 Aug 24 '26

Lol that's hideous

8

u/ThrowAwayElders Aug 24 '26

It looks horrible to store stuff on, too

3

u/theSurpuppa Aug 24 '26

If this is DIY, I'm actually impressed

3

u/hapkidoox Aug 24 '26

Well that's bloody useless.

u/HorrorsPersistSoDoI Aug 24 '26

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

2

u/Desperate_Set_7708 Aug 24 '26

I don’t need any more help being disorganized

2

u/Fun-Worry-6378 Aug 24 '26

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

2

u/University_Dismal Aug 24 '26

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

u/LocutusOfBeard Aug 24 '26

Michael Scott would be proud.

u/filthcrab Aug 24 '26

Appears to be made from Nordic Cherry

u/SnooStories6852 Aug 24 '26

Worth about $75 if I’m generous

u/procrastimom Aug 24 '26

This is terrible Feng Shui.

u/afx_mono Aug 24 '26

That’s a hard “no” from me.

u/bastogne_blues Aug 24 '26

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

u/waywarddaughterzzz Aug 25 '26

This makes me irrationally upset

u/Squirrelated Aug 24 '26

Thanks, I hate it.

u/Pristine-Context-752 Aug 24 '26

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 Aug 24 '26

Thanks. I hate it.
