Well, for one thing, I'd not be walking into that wall anyway.
What's wrong with this?
For me it’s the smell
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.
I just sleep on the floor in a circle of boxes with my things in them. Get on my level.
As a woman, this is neat, but it needs paint. Lol
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 like it except would definitely have to put those little round felt pads for chair feet under it to protect the floor.
And pad the corners for my elbows!
Ah yes, concrete dust everywhere in my bedroom... delicious.
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.
Nicotine pouches you swallow flavored saliva, no spitting. So its a cup for water and the jug would be for piss.
Nah no spitting with zyns
Oh well that’s nice. I guess
I scraped my knuckles just looking at that
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.
gammy would be very disappointed in you for sharing the secret.
Aaand here comes the brick-chancla
that is one pissed off abuela.
That makes a lot of sense to me...
I think this is less "male" and more "poverty".
You can probably find a used nightstand for free easier than finding/buying those blocks to haul to your apartment.
An iPhone and an MagSafe charger is not poverty …
First thought in a male brain seeing this: "wow, practical".
Then i saw the text.
My first thought was : that is a stout table, not going anywhere, modular , hmm 🤔
"Modular storage system. Our proprietary ceramic material comes from natural mineral and reclaimed resources. Modern industrial aesthetic leverages influences from brutalist architecture. Available as individual components or engineered systems. Call to schedule a consultation."
Wow great product!Where do I buy ? Should I DM you my CC info now !?
looks fine too me (i use cardboard box pieces as shelves)
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.
Yeah, seriously, make that in wood and it would be a hit.
The most popular shelves are just a bunch of cubes, one side open, slapped together.
