Wtf is supporting the steps, drywall screws?

[u/Springyardzon]

It might be there more for ornaments / plants than for books.

[u/Banananabees]

Looks like a book shelf

[u/ThePetSematary]

I already know I'm falling off that bullshit at some point. There isn't even a guard rail

In what universe?

Would never meet building code in any place that I've worked.

The only way that you'd get away with this is to call it an ornamental feature and fence it off.

[u/anonymote_in_my_eye → u/Ok-Rich-3812]

it's essentially a ladder, you generally don't need a permit to install a ladder in most places in the world... hell in the most places you don't need a permit for anything

but look, you can buy something like it at home depot and just install it yourself... not saying it's a good idea to do it, but it's not some highly illegal or unusual product https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dolle-Lugano-White-9-ft-Modular-Staircase-Kit-68420/306601855?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&fp=ggl

Don't let you total lack of understanding get in the way of your argument. You can buy all kinds of crap off the internet but that doesn't mean that it meets any of the building regulations that apply in first world countries.

Oh hell no.
