Nope.  I would have to crawl up and down those stairs.  Not pratical if you ask me.

Those 8-9 on the low side look great, but I don't care for the high side.   Too narrow, no handrail.

I simply don't think it's appealing. While this might be someone's home, the stairwell looks like it belongs in a commercial space, at best.

I think this is just for decore and not a functioning staircase.  There is no landing between levels and the wood which the steps attach to does not look structurally sufficient to bear weight.

I love them, I think they are very interesting.  BUT, At my age I would need a handrail.  I visited the church in Santa Fe that has the staircase that the biblical carpenter built, but they put a handrail on them.  They were fantastic.  I feel like these are similar.

This stairway is beautiful, but I'd be grabbing hold of those slats with every step going up. Not sure I could get back down!

I would have to live on the 1st floor.

Looks like nice solid wood work but they're not practical, nor safe.

so NOPE

Now there's an accident about to happen!!!  I hope no one is in a big rush to go up or down.
