Add some dark wood planks or glass platters as steps and we're good.
Don't run down right after hopping out of the shower
This is clearly a work in progress. The stair planks are meant to bold onto those reinforcement beams, and likely a hand rail will appear for the last half of it.
I'm a handyman. This will not pass an inspection because it lacks the handrail necessary to be code compliant. That's before even getting into tread width and lack of trip resistant rise.
My dog refuses to go up or down some types of stairs.
I get it now.
Linoleum. He won't go down to the landing to the basement. He'll do one, maybe 2 steps. So that's where I keep his food. Even if I forget to shut the door, he won't go down there and annihilate the bag.
Why, if that isn't my favorite NoFx song ever. Check it out, foooooo lol
WHY ARE THEY SO THIN
WHY ARE YOU SO CHONKY.
GOTTEM!
Isn't metal amazing? It's almost like 200lbs isn't much for a steel bar to hold up.

This has been reposted so many times. It's obviously a work in progress, with the wood from the stairs missing. The floor doesn't look finished as well.
I used to live in a home with a spiral staircase very similar in construction to the stairs in the picture. Once I removed all the wood in order to clean, fix and re-finish the wood. With the wood removed it was in fact a death trap like shown in the picture. I replaced the wood with temporary OSB cut to the right size, which actually looked kinda cool.

For some reason, I imagine whoever designed this would use glass.
But agreed, it doesn't look complete.
Pretty sure that’s finished concrete. Nothings going on top of that other than rugs and furniture.
No way, it has splotches and a big unfinished ragged seam. The wall facade is also floating about an inch of the floor. This is most definitely not a finished floor.
Yep, that's just osb sub floor, not concrete at all.
I don't think is a WIP, the light fixtures are usually the last work they do to avoid broke it while doing other jobs and here there already functional.
The lights are embedded in the wall and the stairs are fixed to the wall. So they probably wanted to finish out the wall before they put in the stairs. The wood of the stairs would also need to be fitted to the wall exactly, so it makes some kind of sense to finish the wall first. I would have opted for little nooks for the stairs to fit in, but there were probably reasons that didn't make sense in that situation.
Do you think they're doing to drill the wall to fix the wood to it and to the metal part? I don't think the wood is going to be fixed to rhe metal part or it would have the holes to put it already.
With a custom made staircase? Why would the holes already be drilled? I'm not sure that blue color is the final color, or just a primer to prevent rust.
With the staircase I had it was simply 4 holes drilled in each stair and a short but fat screw driven through. This lead to bowing in the middle over time which made the stairs creak. So when I refurbished it, I drilled extra holes in each stair. As well as a thin strip of rubber over the top of the metal. Drilling in a relatively thin flat piece of steel like that is pretty easy. It wasn't particularly hard as it was designed to flex with use instead of being super hard and being subject to metal fatigue. The holes weren't that big, iirc they were 8mm.
I drilled the holes by hand and it was fine. Sure it's a pain in the butt because there were so many stairs. But that was kinda par for the course in a project like that, especially since every stair was unique with it not being a perfect circle. But for people who do projects like this for a living, they have one of those fancy magnetic base drills. Those make easy work of something like this.
The wood would most likely not be fixed to the wall and be designed with a small gap to allowing movement. Wood tends to move around a lot, so you want to have it free to move where possible. Just bolted to the metal would be just fine.
Why would they do the holes that fix the metal stairs to the floor and the wall and not the ones that are going to fix the wood?
Tell me that you don't have children (or older parents) without telling me that ..
That said I like floating stairs slightly more than these but these are good with me.
I like that there's a "wall" as you get higher.
I actual quite like this. It looks totally impractical at best and dangerous at worst, but I think it looks pretty cool.
Upstairs is where they keep all their drug money and exploits. This is a passive way to deter their parents from exploring.
Stairs like this might deter the Boston Dynamics robo dogs the police will eventually start using in 10 years time.
Well not anymore now that you bring this up. Thanks dude. Now where am I supposed to hide everything from the robot dogs?
... And slice them off on the way down.
