...also why many of us bought a Kindle! =) Turn your stairwell into a library!  |

It would take forever for me to get upstairs because
I'd want to stop and look through a book, or several
books.
Cool idea.

I can't figure out the advantage of having the steps alternate sides like that....  Sure looks cool though! |

I'm guessing it's for when you walk in the middle, your foot will always be on the extended portion. You just have to make sure you start off right, or you'll be getting the short end all the way up! |

I wondered about that too... maybe it makes it easier to walk up by alternating? Or maybe the cut out area works as a seat to browse the books?

That's just it, you'd have to start in the same foot every time!  |

That's a thought... doesn't look like the most comfortable place to sit and browse, but I guess you're right that that's the intent. |

I would be tripping on those stairs - I think they take away a sense of depth perception.

In a similar vein (a 'tiled' wall-not; they are magazines!):  Here's a link to the story & more pics: http://www.readymade.com/blogs/readymade/2009/11/11/a-punchy-tiled-wall-or-is-it/ |

This is a great idea... even if you were to make the steps even and use the space below for additional storage available from the front.

Well, it would be a cozy place to sit and read your kindle. A tiny space surrounded by books and a kindle...just imagine.
