The dead plant is a nice touch.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (5 children)

It's plastic. Available from Ickea for 5.99 and called Schlorpobrotto.

It's a Guiana Chestnut. They are exceptionally easy to look after.

You may not like it, but this is what peak Buy It For Life looks like.

Amateur hour! The cinder blocks are all aligned and could more easily tip over; stagger those joints! The top will scratch your phone; put a piece of wood, cardboard, or an old shirt on top to protect it. Also, throw away that phone box, that shit ain't collectable.

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Maybe I'll need that phone box in the future

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I will admit that I store old phones in the original box.

Same with some old computer parts.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

I used to do that.

Now I use a box cutter and cut out any bar codes or serial numbers off most of the boxes and put them in the motherboard box with the rest of manuals and accessories. It was hard at first but it's been good.

Great for shipping RMA, you know it will fit and get there in the condition it left in.

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.

They also destroy your toes if left in the bedroom.

Furniture maker here: Would a night stand with open cubbies on the front like that be popular? That would be fairly easy to build out of wood.

[–] satanmat@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Honestly yeah.

The ability to have your mess slightly better organized, and cheap.

Yeah

Everyone thinks this is a good idea until they have it and the dust builds up constantly. Drawers were invented for a reason.

How many months ago do you figure he dropped that pen back there

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

day he put the side "table" in for sure

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think this is less "male" and more "poverty".

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

You can probably find a used nightstand for free easier than finding/buying those blocks to haul to your apartment.

Just jealous because I didn't need $40k to furnish my home.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 months ago

I scraped my knuckles just looking at that

[–] kubica@fedia.io 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The design is a awesome, but come on don't put it directly over the floor, put a rag or something under it.

Amazing brutalist aesthetic

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 17 points 2 months ago (4 children)

It's quite clever until you stub your toe on it at 4am.

[–] bootloop@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Would it hurt anymore than a normal bedside table though?

Yeah you gotta cover those cinder blocks with a little fabric

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fabric? That sounds dainty. There's no budget for dainty.

First thing I thought of when I saw that is "Hey, that's just Kallax!"

My girlfriend and I have just moved into a new home and we're decorating the living room. It's still a work in progress, but we've painted the wall and put up some Kallax!

There's going to be some drawers and doors and stuff, but this is what it looks like so far ❤️

Edit: for those of you eagle eyed enough to think "wtf even is that in the picture?" I can explain. It's a pokéball drinks coaster made from hammer beads!

I expect this will damage the flooring.

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

It'll scratch the shit out of anything you put on top of it, too. Or in the little cubby holes.

I like it except would definitely have to put those little round felt pads for chair feet under it to protect the floor.

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.
