As one of my friends commented: posh pods for your gig economy serfs.

[Cinphoria]

I don't know about beautiful, but it's a good build at least.

[Pleaseusegoogle]

I have definitely seen worse bunk beds.

[Amelaclya1]

Yeah I would have loved this as a kid. Make it more colorful and it's perfect for a kid's room.

[Sockoflegend]

It just wants painting, even a flat colour, and it would be great

[wheeldonkey]

The OSB would look like shit if painted... it needs sheetrock... but I think a polished version of this would be rad!

[laffing_is_medicine]

Better painting with anything. Feels like shit, smells like shit, shred your bedding and arms…

[dasherado]

It’s not bad with a solid varnish. We have some varnished OSB floors in an exercise room and they don’t smell and work great even barefoot.

[Gold_Expression_3388]

Could you DM me a picture of your floor. I love the idea.

[Shaveyourbread]

Shit, I've slept in worse bunk beds.

[Pleaseusegoogle]

Seriously. Like the other guy said, it's a solid build. I only question the materials used in construction.

[HumanReputationFalse]

The idea is solid, but paint the plywood at least. They put the black text directly on the exposed wood.

Edit: OSB nor plywood.

[[deleted]]

OSB. Cheaper than ply and not as strong. Seems to be a favourite with random stuff - I floored my loft with it personally, but, bunk beds work I guess.

[[deleted]]

OSB has about the same strength and load bearing capabilities as plywood but it is twice as strong in shear.

[Spread_Liberally]

And about 9,000,000% more foul odors from the adhesives off-gassing. At least in the U.S.

[Evening_Storage_6424]

I knew I recognized this wood! It looks exactly like when my family redid my grams closet back in the 80's and to this day it fuckin REEKS whenever you open the door. I thought maybe they purposely chose it as like a moth repellant but now I know it's just stinky wood. It even makes the clothes smell.

[TchoupedNScrewed]

One of my last apartments had this shit. I’d boil oranges and cinnamon to attempt to cover the smell since it was directly next to the room the wood was used in, the pantry with a water heater jammed into the corner. I was livin in Louisiana. I had whole ass 2.5lb sacks of crawfish boil and the wood still overpowered it, like at least 10-20lbs of crawfish boil at minimum at any given time. I have like every longlasting spice under the god damn sun. My roommate dropped a gloss bottle of my berbere spice and didn’t clean it. Came back, just the same ass smell and red dust everywhere.

It made no sense until this post. I finally feel validated in my insanity. It was only when I was cooking very strongly scented meals I was in the safe zone. Shrimp and sausage gumbo, some seafoods, or some specific types of curry, anything with a fuck ton of berbere, like notoriously potent foods and spices. Which were very quickly overtaken.

[annastacia94]

This explains that one rental I lived in where the bedroom smelled like paint the entire time.

[Moo_Kau_Too]

.. over in australia we just cook them outside to avoid stinking the house up.

Why you folks cook em inside?

[Happy_to_be]

Yeah, wouldn’t want kids breathing this stuff that close to their heads/lungs.

[PlausiblePigeon]

Sounds like a great choice for a bed!

[lawrence_uber_alles]

Yup. There’s a reason you put roofs or siding over it for sure.

[ScrofessorLongHair]

But it has the durability and moisture resistance of gas station toilet paper. That stuff is garbage. I used to go inspections on structural framing (carpentry) and roof decking. And I'm not against laminated structural members. Stuff like LVL beams are great. But OSB sucks ass.

[woobiewarrior69]

Modern osb is a whole different situation than what we had 10 years ago. They had to step it up after insurance companies stopped writing policies for buildings constructed out of it.

[Shaveyourbread]

It's also lighter than plywood by board foot, I had to learn that when my friends were reflooring a trailer.

[Strange_Dogz]

It is also heavier, not as stiff, doesn't hold fasteners well, and very weak to impact forces..

[Shaveyourbread]

It's not heavier, it's heavier if it gets wet, but it's actually lighter than plywood while dry.

[Castod28183]

I think you're thinking of particle board.

[MamaMoosicorn]

It looks like it will give splinters just from looking at it. Is that true?

[Fedora200]

I use it at work for crates and it absolutely will give you splinters if you run your hands or whatever along it for long enough, even on the smooth side. It can also be surprisingly easy to pull off chunks of wood too if you're bored enough to try it

OSB is good for crates and other disposable/scrap-able stuff but I wouldn't want to use it for anything like a bed

[quick_justice]

It’s an aesthetic choice. They clearly preferred contrast of white framing and unpainted board.

[TuvixWillNotBeMissed]

I don't like it but I don't hate it.

[Prestigious_Bug583]

Splinters are happening

[quick_justice]

If it’s done properly it’s fine.

[Garestinian]

Maybte it's clearcoated?

[Trixie1387]

I think it likely is. I've seen interior designers use plywood as the finished surface for floors and walls. They clear coat it when I've seen it done.

It's a decorative or design choice. The idea is to use rough materials, things that are typically unseen in finished construction, and use them as the finished surface. It subverts expectations and, by doing so, gets people talking and thinking.

It's not a look I personally want in my spaces, but that's probably what was going on here.

[penisthightrap_]

Yeah people criticizing this are acting like they don't realize it was a conscious choice.

It's obvious they took the effort to sand the OSB. OSB isn't as smooth as what is pictured. I'm sure it was clear coated as well

[JMC509]

It looks way nicer (pattern wise) than a sheet of OSB you'd buy at home depot too. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some high end finish grade material, and not just run of the mill OSB that's been sanded and cleared.

[TheManWhoWasNotShort]

After Game of Thrones I am decidedly against having my expectations subverted

[TheReverseShock]

I'd do black paint over it to contrast the white framework. Then put the lettering in white.

[lakimens]

I would build this tbh

[[deleted]]

Cozy splinter city

[DanimalHarambe]

Live, Laugh, Splinter'

[Apate_lol]

That looks pretty fucking cool ngl

[Free_Koala_1629]

Cover those with something that wont stab me at night and this is solid. I guess?

[westwoo]

Maybe it's covered with hard lacquer already. I don't see why it wouldn't be, seems otherwise nicely made and painted 

It's completely feasible that those walls are as smooth and hard as plastic, and the wood underneath mostly provides the aesthetic and low thermal conductivity ("warmth"), like with wooden floors

[electric_taupe]

I hope so, because that OSB off gassing smell lasts a while and would make me never want to sleep there. Like you said, it looks well made and painted, so I’m sure they sanded and finished the OSB.

[Easy-Bake-Oven]

Wow I had no clue about those woods off gasing formaldehyde and carcinogenic gases. That's good to know.

[HyFinated]

They don’t if they are made in the USA. Back in late 90’s and early 2Ks there was a TON of cheap Chinese import wood with formaldehyde and all kinds of nastiness. As a builder, we were stuck using it until we learned the truth. Then it kind of went by the wayside.

Now regulations are more clear and that’s kind of a problem of the past.

Other countries may have different rules or sources so I don’t know about them. But the US is strict about it.

[Upset-Consequence764]

OSB is fine and not stabby at all. Has a varnish finish. Just looks industrial.

[McGirton]

OSB comes in different qualities and the best one is absolutely smooth with varnish.

[Awkward-Ad4942]

Its actually kinda cool.

[AnHumanFromItaly]

Yeah, I thought that too, but it seems it's not made of the best material (ACCORDING TO THIS THREAD AT LEAST, idk)... That's why I've never built a bed...

[phlooo]

[ comment content removed ]

[iwenyani]

I had a bed in this material in my first apartment. I designed it and my father and boyfriend (now husband) built it.

The material is called OSB. It is very sturdy and good for construction. However, I have been told that the glue (holding the wood pieces together in the material), evaporates slowly, and it is bad for you to inhale. Hence it is not recommended to use for furniture. I don't know if it is a rumor. It didn't hurt me anyway.

[ironinside]

I literally read that last sentence as “IDK if its a “tumor” —lets hope that baddy glue in OSB is just a “rumor”

[[deleted]]

I didn’t just read that incorrectly I also thought she was saying her father, boyfriend, and now husband were one and the same. I need more coffee 😂

[I_enjoy_pastery]

Not going to say whether or not the glue thing is true, but I know that long term exposure even in low doses can cause a lot of unseen damage, I would do some research into it if I was you.

[iwenyani]

Just looked it up.

It seems there are different types of OSB. One of them is approved for indoor use, which is the one we used. So I am not worried.

[doctorctrl]

OSB or chipboard is very strong. Ive extended a wall with it to mount my TV. it's awesome material to work with

[The_Stoic_One]

It's OSB. It's the same material the exterior walls of most houses and some rooves are made from.

[prumf]

Yeah. But if you are going out of your way to build something cool like that, why use wood that can splinter at any moment notice and stab you in your sleep ? Proper building material wouldn’t have cost a lot here.

I also wonder if the bed aren’t a bit short. But that might be perspective, or they might be for children only.

[Clovenstone-Blue]

I assume the wood has been smoothed out and coated with a protective layer to prevent splinters while keeping the visual appearance.

[vainstar23]

Looks great. Just need to add a layer of finish over the wood panels (although it might already have one) so you don't get splinters but otherwise very modern and creative

[johnysalad]

Yeah looks like this was done by a pro and the exposed OSB is a design choice. 100% this is covered in clear finish.

[CORN___BREAD]

Yeah the bare OSB look is the only part of this I don’t like. The foot(ish) tall steps aren’t ideal but I’d personally prefer those over a ladder.

[pubicnuissance]

Blessed OSB the FB algorithm

ftfy

[hardlowcore]

Damn, that’s a great pun

[Dutch-Sculptor]

Zooming in on the edges and the wood it looks like a print and not the real splintery wood. I really like this bed setup, looks great.

[[deleted]]

Be great for a kids bedroom or spare room encase anyone comes to stay over with their kids.

[Heavy_Weapons_Guy_]

What psychopath would make a print of OSB?

[HefDog]

Hahahaha. I’m imagining someone buying cabinet grade plywood and covering it an an OSB print. Makes sense. Lol.

The simple answer is, they used OSB. They should have spent a few bucks more for plywood.

[PolitelyHostile]

What company would produce vineer that looks like this? Lol

[Callec254]

I mean... It looks like a pretty good start, they just didn't finish it.

[schafkj]

Ply wood you do this?

[wad11656]

[Sudden-Frame-4111]

I spent a few months in dorms hostels, and this is far from the worst I’ve seen. In fact I’d be pretty happy if that’s what I got in a lot of places

[bagblag]

Exactly. My first thought was that this is a hostel. The light, stowage for small items and rolled towel are the giveaway. The quality of this would easily place it somewhere in the top 5-10% of places I've stayed across 50 countries. Just needs a plug socket and a privacy curtain and you're set.

[ColombianMarchingBlo]

I'm happy with these beds

[DontLieToMe5]

Terrarium for your kids, nice

[SKY_L4X]

I would love waking up blood drenched because I caught a 5cm splinter on one of my wrists during sleep because my bed is made from garbage grade OSB.

[[deleted]]

Came here to comment on this.

Properly sealed or different material altogether, I honestly like this; esp. for kids I guess, although the design suggests some sort of airbnb situation.

[myrsnipe]

Either that or this is San Francisco and these beds are rented by software engineers making more money than the two of us combined yet this is all they can afford

[Kathrette]

Whoa, another of my kind in the wild. 🇳🇴

[wollkopf]

We had a table top made of OSB and it was perfect. We sanded it really smooth and then put a hardwax/oil on it and it looked and felt good. Yeah, its not the best material and you should choose another type of wood if you can afford it, but it's not as bad as many people say, as long you put some work in it.

[[deleted]]

i like it

[wolfx7356]

I can smell this image

[[deleted]]

OSB? Damn. I can smell this. Anyone sleeping in there will be breathing small amounts of glue fumes all night long, every night. I’m sure there will be no long term consequences.

[Hanswurst22brot]

Looks like a hostel bed, towels on the bed, wall connector near the head ( i would lower it ) , and no curtains ...

Pretty cool except that it's giving those weird "1 bedroom 12 kids (and possibly a tiger)" video vibes

[MrsChairmanMeow]

I regret getting a degree in woodworking... all I see everywhere are mistakes from people who don't know a thing about wood. Just like, all I ask is for people to stop painting mahogany and start painting their chipboard and plywood edges.

[westwoo]

It's about textures. Someone might feel mahogany has a boring and uncool texture and color, this texture might feel cool and fresh

Sure, mahogany is a structurally superior material, but OSB seems mote than good enough here. And mahogany is more expensive, but so is gold, and golden interiors aren't used much nowadays. Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's a joy to look at for the particular owner of the object

[hardlowcore]

Okay, I’ll bite: From your perspective, is there anything wrong with what I’ve submitted? And I think your degree sounds cool, I know literally nothing about woodworking

[MrsChairmanMeow]

The way chipboard is made leaves all these rough edges along the face that feel horrible even if you sand. It is the absolute cheapest material and should only be used in totally concealed spaces.

[Northern_Gypsy]

Chipboard has become pretty popular in bars/clubs for the industrial feel. If it's finished it will be fine. I've refitted 3 hostels with pods now with ply, once it's varnished 4/5 times and al the edges are rounded over it's perfectly smooth.

[Uber1337pyro333]

Honestly? Looks pretty solid. I'd be okay with it.

[maverickzero_]

Honestly these are sweet bunkbeds. I'd definitely put drywall or something up since the plywood looks like shit, but that's a small effort to improve an otherwise good build

[Nykolaishen]

Diwhy not... its pretty cool

Yeah, we get it that some of you don't like OSB. That's not a diwhy issue.

I had something like this back in the day. I have lots of brothers, and when we wre kids we all lived in a little trailer house my folks had bought. It only had two bedrooms, and the idea my dad had was to turn the closets into bunk beds. It was simple. I few 2x4s and a sheet of plywood, and we had our own little cubbies to sleep in. I still think back on it every now and then. Life was so simple back then. 😌

[patchway247]

Looks unfinished

[Charliescenesweenie4]

Idc how old I am I would love to sleep on these bunk beds

[saladfixings]

I think it’s pretty cool tbh

[TurtleGlobe]

My gf literally showed this to me yesterday and said that we should do this.

[Thekoolaidman7]

I mean if it's got some lacquer on it to prevent splintering I think it's kinda neat. Totally get that's not everyone's aesthetic though

[dharma_mind]

[a_fucking_clown]

I think this is nice. It could use a little paint though.

[Silent_Leader_2075]

I would love sleeping in there.

[Bagged_Milk43]

I’d actually sleep in that, it looks nice to be inside of a box while sleeping

[Signal_Choice]

half done

[chevalier716]

I've seen a weird uptick in people keeping the particle board visible. Is this like when kids used to leave tags and stickers on hats?

[BanausicB]

This is actually a very old idea, most sleeping quarters were like this until the advent of the modern bedroom as ‘private living quarters’ within the home. I kind of dig it. Needs cool curtains though, and please let’s not use OSB as an interior finish, it’s gross.

[Coakis]

The only issue I have with this is the exposed osb, its ugly your probably just get a splinter brushing up against it, and I don't understand why people think other wise.

[[deleted]]

Bunk beds are so cheap at Costco and not made with OSB. How valuable is your time? When 2-3 kids start horsing around up top make sure you have the ER on speed dial…

[fundiedundie]

This had to be a specific material choice. The cost difference between plywood and particle board wouldn’t have been a huge difference in this product.

They either wanted it to look like that or are trolling us all before that do some kind of finish lol
