Yea or Nay: Shelving Overhead

Was looking at this beachfront home the other day,

dreaming of barefoot, wine-glass-in-hand adventure...

and noticed this....

shelving directly behind a sofa...

and a bed.

It may be because of the rather spiky bits that live on those shelves,

 but I'm not sure I would be able to relax here.

While I've never been a fan of sleeping under shelves...

I suppose placing them behind the bed is a great way to sneak in some storage...

Just wondering what y'all think?

I am the only one who can't sleep for fear of a ceramic bird falling on my head?!
