      Absolutely terrible design. Those drywall anchors cannot withstand anything close to the dynamic load of a human climbing stairs. Those screws will not hold those hinges.

      Those drywall anchors are not rated anywhere close to the dynamic load of someone climbing stairs, especially since the stairs are loosely hinged and will transfer all kinds of angular momentum. Those anchors will wiggle loose. The first failure will be the 3/4" screws on the hinges torquing out of the plywood end grain though.

    The drywall will eventually fail as well. The small screws won’t last as long as drywall under this application. I believe the outside stringer could be mounted like a normal stair with the hinges on the inside corner. That would also guard the pistons holding it in the top position

    It's worth repeating that the hinges are comically undersized for this. Disaster waiting to happen. The stringer against the wall is supported by the floor and the vertical portion of the landing so the sheet rock anchors just hold it in place. If they actually had to take load it fall part in a few days.

    • @onetwothree4148
