    1:53 That's fun and all, but my problem with these huge "folding furniture" things is that even when fold them in to 'safe space', you still have to keep everything around it empty for when you DO fold it out, literally saving no space at all.

      @skaruts 3 ปีที่แล้ว +69

      The folding beds are actually nice if you live in a small flat and need that space during the day. Or if you have a kid in a small room and want him to have more space to play around. Sure, you'll need to open up the space when going to bed, but the rest of the time you have all that space. Again, this is of course assuming you need that space. If you don't, then yes, there's really no point having one of those.

This isn't the first spiral staircase, as spiral staircases are believed to be have been in use over 3000 years ago. Medieval castles had spiral staircases, their stair cases were designed & built to aide the fighters during battle(staircases were built in a clockwise direction so enemies couldn't swing their swords properly as most were right-handed, &when they were able to lift their arms to strike after rounding a curve,they fully exposed themselves&ended up victims) There is speculation that Da Vinci either designed or influenced the design of a staircase in the Chateau of Chambord, only because he was living in the vicinity.

      Nvm cost of living always on rise, property prices/higher rents and the associated repairs/maintenance of bigger dwellings, etc.
      Getting a bigger space isnt always the option if trying to save or invest for later.
      Long term these are cheaper even more so if you can build them vs getting a bigger domicile.

    "Space Corner" perfectly illustrates my problem with these types of designs. Geometrically, you get the EXACT SAME amount of drawer space as you would with two conventional drawers in the same position. Also, you get those acute-angle corners at the front of the drawer that are basically wasted space if you want to store large items. That leaves two possibilities - that this extremely obvious flaw was missed in every stage of its design, OR the designers were aware of it and are just trying to sell quirky but useless shlt for high prices. A basic lazy susan cabinet is FAR more effective.

      That giant hidden space in the sink will eventually fill up with sludgey mold and bacteria. So whenever that sink is used, it will send a big puff of germ laden air into the room. It's basically an unsanitary gimmick sink. No wonder why it is black in order to hide the germs and slime. The bar that slides across basically has germs build up on it. So each time it comes out to slide across the sink surface, it leaves a film of mold and bacteria on the surface. This type of sink is good only when new before it becomes gunked up with mold and bacteria.

      It's less useful than a medicine cabinet and its design with a bunch of holes drilled for wooden pegs to hang keys upon is rather absurd since this shallow mirrored cabinet should be located where people need to use the mirror. Adding keys to the mix further reduces the places where this white elephant of a $4000 wooden and space inefficient medicine cabinet can go. It's no good in bathrooms because those already have their own wall-mounted mirrors. Its maker is really arrogant to market such a thing at $4000 because such a simple product at such a high price is also tantamount to a sneer at normal people. I'm rather disappointed at "Be Amazed" for hosting such a product advertising video.

      Just keep in mind that realistic usefulness is key, and saving space requires that things actually do realistically save space. The scrapbox is nice in concept, but doesn't save any space at all. You will want to have the space around it always clear and unused, or else you can't open it. But then, you might as well just have two additional cabinets there, which would have more storage space than the scrapbox's doors. And if you are active every day on your hobby, then you're probably not gonna close that thing ever, so. Those doors also extend too far from the sitting position to be practical. A corner piece might be a better idea. It's a nice concept, but could use some improvements.
      That shapeshifting bookshelf is completely pointless. It's a nightmare to put things on it because of all the gaps. Imagine placing a flower jar wrong on the gaps and not notice it in time. Besides, it's called "bookshelf" but... it can't actually hold books. It has no sides, and it's full of gaps. And then you can tediously turn it from a """bookshelf""" into a... not-bookshelf that still takes wall space.
      The living cube... I mean if you have the money to afford it and the space to fit it in your house, then you already live in a spacious house. And good luck dragging that thing out to clean up behind it.

      I would'nt say idiotic but definitely less useful as they show you. But turning a dining table into a shelf, even with the rearranging can be pretty handy depending on your living space. If you don't have much room having a shelf that can turn into a table can be great if you have guests over.

But that my issue with it looks like the space is small and you can't put it in a small room since it folds out. Secondly, that's nice and all but there is no space for cutting the material or making patterns sooo probably other crafts?

    There are two problems with all of these fancy space-saving furnitures. First: They are priced at a level that the only people who can afford them are people who can also afford a bigger flat/house. Second: Furniture designed to be rearranged during the day according to current needs do not work. There are even studies about it that show that people pretty much always end up leaving the furniture in the same, suboptimal configuration. So for example, not folding the bed to have a desk, but working in bed instead, etc. These things may look practical (at least some of them) but you just have to consider that using them correctly would require you to rearrange your home several times each day.

    • @skaruts
      @skaruts 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly. And look at the scrapbox: two additional cabinets would have much more storage than those doors have, and they would only take the space that you have to always keep clear in order to open that thing. But then it's also like you're saying: if you're active in your hobby every day, then you'd probably leave that thing open all the time.

    0:28 OK, I want to provide a counter-argument against the "Swing" dining-table/shelving unit. Right the dining table goes unused for 21 hours and what-not. *However* how many times are you going to convert a shelving-unit to dining-table *just* by rotating the thing? It's a *shelf* right? OK, now you want to *eat* -- so what do you with all the *stuff on the shelf?* You have to *put it somewhere* right? *And that takes time **_and_** extra space.*
    Then after you're finished eating and put the dishes away, now you convert it back to a shelf, and put all your junk back on it. *And that also takes time.*
    I hear somebody say, "wait a sec, Unca Boat ... the dishes are just stored on the shelf!" *No.* Dishes are stacked together until they take less space than even a single shelf. Unless you're *showing off your dishes* there is going to be absolutely no practical use for this. And what kind of crazy fashionista bothers showing off the dishes they use for eating?
    I predict somebody will buy this thing coz it's cute, and really, it's very cute, but they aren't going to put to serious use for longer than a couple of weeks, a month at most. Who's got the time (and unused extra space) to be moving their shelf contents all around the house just because they want to sit down to a meal?

At the end I place my documents away and books in the shelf mode. I already utilize a transforming table but it doesn't become a shelf it becomes just a smaller coffee table but same premise I leave my reference books on there with my documents.

    I don’t get the “cubitat” If it can fit in an existing home, then do you buy it and live outside? Lol
