How not to hang a blind

So the ladder still hasn't materialised, which means I haven't had any blinds for two weeks now.

So, desperate times call for desperate and foolhardy measures. It occurred to me that if I couldn't get a real ladder I could build one out some of the stuff in my apartment. What could go wrong?

So far all the furniture I have is a chest of drawers, some chairs, an unbuilt bed and a kitchen unit. Clearly the perfect building blocks for a rudimentary ladder.

Which looks a bit like this...

A minor work of genius I think you'll agree. 

Now unfortunately, the chest of drawers is going to be mainly carrying my weight, but it's an Ikea chest of drawers, meaning that it has a 3mm thick piece of plywood for a back, and no bottom at all. In reality it's a horizontal piece of mdf, screwed to two vertical pieces of mdf, with some drawers in it for weight. 

As it was really rather wobbly I placed my mattress next to it incase I fell off sideways. I presumed I wouldn't be dumb enough to fall forwards out of the window or backwards down my ladder.

So, did it work?

Yes.
