At first I thought they appeared to be shelves and not steps. However the lowest one almost cropped out of the picture suggests they could be steps. If they are steps- they are far to high and narrow, plus the aforementioned rail- to meet most building codes in more developed areas. They are inherently unsafe as steps by design, and if they are steps, having any object let alone a glass vase at or above waist height on them would be unsafe for anyone using the stairs as well as anyone below the stairs with it without a railing. If they are shelves, they are no less safe than any other shelf in their intended function- but do to their design I wouldn’t want shelves like that in a home with small children who would almost inevitably climb on them.

Did you just completely miss the bed at the top of the picture?
Tbh I forgot about the bed. Writing while distracted. Apologies. Yeah. The whole thing is just unsafe. I knew while I was writing it- I kept feeling like I was forgetting something. Lol. Sorry about that.
Yes. The home may be tiny, but unless it’s built for hobbits that bed has to be at least 6’ off the ground. More than enough to make those “stairs” and that loft potentially dangerous, even deadly if something went wrong.
Most countries on the pacific rim have unstable tectonic activity too. People live with it every day. Doesn’t mean it’s not a danger, and it doesn’t mean it’s not one bad coin flip away from a disaster. In the early 20th century most new buildings had asbestos. Most cars didn’t have 4 wheel power disk brakes. Here we are in the future where codes were enacted or steps were taken so those safety risks were minimized. So yeah- most tents don’t have toilets- that’s why you can’t just buy land in downtown Dallas, throw up a few tents and rent them as apartments.
