So the end of each step is held by 3 1/2" screws into a 3/4" board. I don't see this lasting to long. Would suck to be at the top step when those screws rip out.

Looks unsafe

Looks good on the video but what’s the maximum weight resistance ?

Why? You can't use the space underneath the stairs because it defeats the reason for having them in the first place. Just make proper permanent stairs with a handrail.

Not even going to give it a try sorry

😂 this is satire guys, in a couple days those hinges will break 😂

Breaches all health and safety regulations of course

Cool idea but wonder what the weight load is. He’s gonna have to have people sign waivers when they come to his house.

@grok what's the weight limit on those tiny brackets?

First step downstairs:

🤝 hinges should be full width, wood should be thicker, and would not fold flat against unless the outside hindge went over the tread board, I'd consider bolts rather than screws. If it fails you risk major injury.

Tiny screws holding those stairs together 😂

Perfect for tiny homes or lofts. The way it folds flat is pure space-saving brilliance.

looks great except: wrong size stair boards wrong size stair brackets wrong size screws wrong size everything 👍

Talent

Just have to tighten them every six months, those are solid

This will end really really bad

Lets bet, how long this shit would last? Me first: 1 month

Structural engineer here. There should be at least 6” of wood between the top of the wood and the notch for the stair step. That stair stringer is “effectively” 3” deep and will break.

Fatties not allowed upstairs.

The issue with constructs like this is durability.

will it hold?

I have trust issues 🫤

Seems to be very fragile…

It’s gonna break. Dangerous

I think I’m mostly just skeptical

Brilliant concept but under-engineered. The much-too-thin steps are screwed into the underneath of those small hinges. You couldn’t pay me to walk up those stairs.

If it’s an occasional use thing like access to an attic, why not just use the tried and true hatch with a fold up ladder? If it’s constant use why not just build real stairs?

This is all I can think of tbh

The wood needs to be thicker. You can even see the plank that he steps on is already loose 💀 looks like it’s gonna break.
