Barb on Nov 04, 2015Are you thinking of putting in drawers? How will you get down if you are upstairs and the drawer is open. I don't know if that is what you were planning but keep it in mind if you are. I am sure there are other ways to do it.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Nov 04, 2015There is potential, but am not sure how safe it would be for traffic with the necessary hinges, etc. to open it. Guess I would build a strong rim underneath to hold the "platform" Suppose you could lever it open with a really large screwdriver to avoid hinges/ mechanism for pulling the platform up. You could close the area under the stairs for storage - easier and safer. I had enough width, height, etc. to install a small half bath in my house using this space.Helpful Reply

Tatjana Lijić on Nov 05, 2015I believe you have to put some sturdy frame and than place the top made of some resistant wood...something like Marion Nesbitt said..would love to do something like this in my house but sadly my stairs are made of concrete base :(Helpful Reply
