Have a look at these stairs... they are wonderful, weird or have a touch of genius.
The same one from another point of view.
Double stairs: one for each foot. Risky...

My dream is to own a house with a spiral staircase
Yamaks
As lovely as some of these are I think stairs are the last things in my house with which I'd tolerate form over function
YsgramorsSoupSpoon
Coming home shitfaced, this will feel like climbing mt. Everest
BluntHonestDouche
I'll take "stairs that are impossible to navigate while drunk" for $1000 Alex.
Soitora
Are all these purposely made to make drunk/tired people fall? I'm already scared of my stairs, this is some weird shit

TashaYar
I trust zero of these to bear weight.
snclash3731415
Right. After 5 years of people running and jumping up and down the stairs and the steps are "floating" only fastened to a wall

10/10 would break my legs on half of these when tired
JeepersMedia
Disturbing lack of hand rails
CMulley
10/10 you would break your legs from the 1/2" thick structure of the stairs that collapses under you.
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
My immediate thought: "These aren't stairs, they are lawsuits waiting to happen."
Slickmorty
Yeah pretty confident one drink or one bad night sleep and I am going down all of these
Grinch01
The last one are just retarded no security added and i kill you briks one nearly every step
ComicallyLongUsername
ikr? dude in the picture is two steps away from standing on that pointy ceramic thingy, breaking it, and his neck, because no balustrade.
SpottedWillowOwl
The last one--is that a pic of "look at these stairs" or "ima kill this person by making them trip"?
IsACouchASeat
Double stairs where someone thought it was clever design to put shit on half the steps.
DPCPHX
Jeeeez, the last one looks so fucking sketchy.
bitofanastyshockforhimwhenhefoundout
When the stairway IS the heaven.

#5 is just asking for someone to fall off the edge near the top

I would be that one person to fall

The sundeck things you can have without children

None look old people approved

A lot of those shouldn't pass code.
The5SecondFuse
Building Code of Australia says, "no".
Azmoham
So, my question is, are ANY of these actually better than just normal fucking stairs?

That's a view from the top of the stairs. You can tell be the wooden floor at the top of the picture
tigerbearguy
Oh! That makes them *slightly* better.
MrWobblyHead
I envision the moment to go to rush downstairs, put your left foot first, only to have no step, and go flying down instead
Starwaster
That's fine until you find one of these sitting by itself in the middle of the woods with no sign of a house having been there before....

Thats not what i get when i type stairs porn in google. :/
TroelsyTwo
Stairs that force you to start with a specific foot are fucking idiotic. That means u might have to stop and change feet when u reach them.
LizardsInTheSky
But only half the time.
Rowley1721
Not one of these could I chase a playful cat up or down, plus I'm sure 3.5 mins after installation our 6 Year old would be in hospitol.
ComicallyLongUsername
If a flight of stairs hasn't got a balustrade, it doesn't belong in a house.
ComicallyLongUsername
Oh and I mean a proper balustrade, not that fucking metal face-smashing plate in #11 with no way to actually hold it.
verypaulsible
*Stairs if you don't have kids, and have money.
ohnoofcourseyourright
Never try these drunk
theirownreward
Was just about to say, "stairs for people who don't like their children much"

And building codes.

As long as you don't intend to sell the property at any point then you can have anything you like.
NYhook
Most insurers would refuse to insurance properties that don't meet code.
sentmepicturesofhomemadebeefjerky
this is American we don't care our assholes take a pounding either way
ElBlancoLoco
#2 is definitely some sort of building code violation, hell half of these are
dfherre
There’s a minimum riser height on the international building code so I guess half of each step would not be up to code.
ownerofafloof
Depends on where you live.
Snowman25
The photo is top-down view. Not front.
pudgychicken
oh now that you've said that it makes so much more sense
toxicchili
Useful for when your hip needs dislocating.
nerdymellifluouspenguin
Alternating tread stairs, aka Japanese steps, are actually useful when footprint is limited. A banister is highly recommended though.
johnqcurls
Are they classified as a ladder of some sort? They would not pass code as stairs in the US.
nerdymellifluouspenguin
Dunno. I have a set in my flat (France), but I never thought about the regulatory aspects.You certainly have to use caution in them, 1/2
nerdymellifluouspenguin
especially walking down, carrying a heavy tray and not seeing your feet. We put a fence on top too, for kids 2/2
RAULakaMEX
We are looking down at the steps. Angle of the photo made it seem like you'd be going up the other way on slanted stairs.
JewAndMe4Ever
Still terrible stairs tho
voidukkha
thank you
shawnthor
Thank you! I was having a hard time believing someone designed, let alone made sideways slanted steps.
grumpybunny
Seems like a pretty big step down to the first step :/
Tsamane
A drunk person going down these will go down. But maybe with a few broken bones
