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.
That makes a lot of sense to me...
Pfft, amateur. Milk crates are the way to go.
looks fine too me (i use cardboard box pieces as shelves)
I think this is less "male" and more "poverty".
An iPhone and an MagSafe charger is not poverty …
You can probably find a used nightstand for free easier than finding/buying those blocks to haul to your apartment.
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."
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.
There is no fucking way I'm keeping a bedside table like that. Specifically a bedside table.
How the hell am I gonna show people my room politely with vibrators, lube, condoms, rope, spanking paddles, rope & a hitachi wand hanging out fuck all that lol
Showing...people your...room? Why would you do that?
Don't even need to remake much. Just put a slab of wood in the middle and on top.
thats a good looking house plant.
Amazing brutalist aesthetic
If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.
Looks heavy. Could have probably gotten a much lighter side table for free from a sorting facility, or give aways over 2nd stuff websites.
This guys a damn genius
Damn, this is both beautiful and functional. 10/10
It's quite clever until you stub your toe on it at 4am.
You just described furniture. And doors. And pets. And cars. And bridges. And...
Would it hurt anymore than a normal bedside table though?
Yes
Wood might flex a bit and absorb the impact, making it hurt a bit less. Concrete won't.
The zyn hanging on the wall says everything I need to know about this person.
And multiple cans on a Velcro strip as if immediate and redundant access to them was necessary.

I expect this will damage the flooring.
It'll scratch the shit out of anything you put on top of it, too. Or in the little cubby holes.

Cinderblocks are literally just legos for adults. Not because it's more mature or anything, but because it's cheaper.
Except, you know what I discovered just LOVES to live in cinder blocks? For instance the stack I had on my balcony? Black Widow Spiders, that's who. Whole families of them, each in a section, with egg sacs.
so...you're telling me you built a condo for black minorities and now you want to evict them?
just calling a shoe a shoe here, but....
Single mothers too, you monster!
Think of the ~~larvae~~ children!
