I wouldn't even be able to eat here.

UNHINGED BUT I LOVE IT FOR A SMALL SPACE

Yay for use of small space, boo for shoe-dirt on the counter

If there was no other way then this is a great idea. Though I wouldn't dare walk up or down those steps in socks- look at the shine on that worktop!

Now imagine a bartender slides a bottle with alcohol on fire.

mmm lovely, dirty feet on the same counter we prepare food

And the wooden table with a noticeable butt crack. 😄

I’m wondering if this is an optical joke by the homeowner. I say this because when I look at the distance between the refrigerator and the sink/countertop, I get the impression that the real upstairs steps have nothing to do with the joke steps attached to the countertop. Nobody with those resources would do something that ridiculous.

Does the counter top lift up???? The idea of feet and especially shoes on a surface meant for food turns my tummy!!!

This is so unsafe - not just unsanitary, with the risk of shedding shoe-debris, but the sink is right there; a bit of water or dish detergent splashing onto the 'stairs' section, and you slip and slide.

Get your feet off the counter top! Oh sorry didn't know you was going upstairs

But why!

Probability that someone slips on the counter part of the stairs : 147.3%

Why not just make the counter shorter?

I have mixed emotions about this?

Not even a little wall to seperate?? Imagine coming down stairs and not knowing someone spilled milk and you slip.

ewww

aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

C'mon!

I'm kind of liking it.

Walk on the kitchen counter???

With kids, no way.

wouldn't a wall and a railing be more safe and more sanitary?

I mean…. We do not use outside shoes in the house here…. So this would not be THAT bad….. but still

yeah, cats gonna obey no cats on the counters rule

Ok, I agree walking on a counter top is not something I'd be ok with, but why do so many of you bring shoes in to this? I see people with shoes on in the house on TV, but I thought that was just a TV thing.

All it needs is a perspex window/barrier and it would be all good!

The stairs to no where?

WHY?!

Omg, why?

What the hell happened here? Seriously, what happened?

Easier way to get on the table I guess and have a dance party in the counter

Who said there isn’t any humor in interior design? Who said there is? Get outta here! ;^)

Accident waiting to happen. Sink beside it, getting wet, slippery space. Hard wood table to catch while falling. If lucky, a visit to the doctor, otherwise straight to funeral home.

Oops stepped in the eggs again. No breakfast for me.

I feel like this was created by Escher's child during their teenage rebellion.

Who needs the hassle of dropping food on the floor, when you can bring the floor to the food!

Where're the stairs leading?

INTRODUCING THE TOE-STUBBER STAIRS!

Is it just me immediately thinking of striptease?
