These cosy, wardrobe-like pieces of furniture could reportedly sleep up to five people. Why did they fall out of fashion?

Ancient technology, but not so different from modern capsule hotels 😅

    Byre homes, but the fire is in the bottom room and you live on top. They don’t smell great but with a fire going the draft sucks more than you’d think up and out the stack.

      I was thinking of early middle ages British ones which were one story generally iirc. Looks like improvements were made elsewhere in the world.

      Still wouldn’t be keen, don’t get me wrong I used to do farm work and volunteer at an animal sanctuary when health allows. I don’t mind shovelling shit or what not but a big part of it being tolerable is the shower and clean room at the end! A wash in my basin in my musty house would be a nope. I’ll bunk with the dogs if we have to share, they’re a bit cleaner generally.
