I think it's a very clever idea!  But I'd be afraid of kids tearing up and down the stairs - and knocking things off the shelves.

Clever idea but too much clutter for my liking.

Always admire clever use of space!

Can’t have too much book space.

Have NEVER lived in a home with stairs, but if I do, hope to remember this.

NOPE

Too much clutter & who wants to dust it all?

I'd rather see that space closed in and used as storage or a closet.

 

I think this homeowner wanted to do something with the bare space behind the stairs and this was an economical, decorative, although, IMO, not a good way to do it.

 

To make the bookshelves look like a legitimate reading area, the owner places a chair, table, and stool there of which no one in my family, nor would I, use them when there are other places in the house more comfortable.

 

It might have been better to place more interesting small knickknacks arranged creatively on those shelves, leave out the books, chair, table, and stool.

The shelves are too high up and it wouldn't be practical for me.
