"Michael! Your son has a motorcycle in his room. You go talk to that boy, at once! I will not have oil stains on the carpet in there. Also, I'm pretty sure the motorcycle is from the future, and that would mean he's been spending time with that Emmet Brown character again."
The whole set looks really nice, but I did a bit of a double-take when I saw the motorcycle. I was like "Wait, what?" I had to go back and look at the product title again. Yep... 1920s teenager room. Darned kids." :)

"TARDIS Express: When it Absolutely, Positively HAS To Get There, BEFORE It LEFT!"
Teenagers, as a cultural group, didn't actually exist in the 1920s. Lads left school at 13 or 14 and started work.
As it should be.
and that certainly doesn;t look like any 1920's motorcycle I've ever seen...
Absolutely. That coal isn't going to mine itself, you know.
A nice progression, from going up chimneys in younger years to mining the stuff in 'later' years
I'm surprised no one's said anything about the loft bed. That's a recent trend in furnishing. You might have seen a bunk bed back then, but not a loft bed.
I would have to say this is more of a "1920's inspired" room than an actual period piece...and that doesn't make it a bad thing. It is a neat looking room.
It’s time traveling bike... like the DeLorean... only far more likely to reach the requisite 88 mph.
Probably nicked from River - she did favour manoeuvrability in her time machines.
Wasn't just blue collar workers. My Grand Father made some bad investments and when Dad got to 14 in 1930 grandad couldn't afford to keep him on at Grammar School, so he joined the Civil Service at 14. He joined the Post Office (which was a government Ministry in them days) and became a telegraph boy and trainee telegraphist.
Thank goodness for the current child labour laws. Let kids be kids - they'll have to spend a crazy amount of years being all responsible and working their arses off, best to let them have fun and be kids while they can. :) That way they have something to fondly look back on and remember while they're busting their humps for "the man" for half a century. lol
Nothing in that room looks 1930s to me.
When I showed the set to my wife, I did say "And, I might be wrong, but I didn't think anyone came up with those desk-under-bunkbed combinations until quite recently." - It just didn't seem as funny, to me, as the much-later motorcycle parked in the bedroom. :)
I'm guessing the house was built in the 1920s, and some of the furniture and objects in there have remained from around then, but the actual scene is more recent in time and some stuff has been added and removed.
Let me guess...toilet lid won't open
Its shows how much times have changed eh!?.. SOME teens today go to school and even if not in schools live at home until their age 30's or 40's, total culture turn around. My guess it properly has more to do with helicopter or lawn-mower parenting, than the teens fault though. back in the 20's teens needed to go to work to help support the families .today the goverments fore fills most of that need
Just my opinion but it's also a very large room for a 1920's bedroom ,maybe it's a converted garage?
I think room size is more a reflection of the need to have space for cameras - fitting them into a standard size room without getting a very narrow view or having a fish-eye effect is tricky, at least without using Section Planes.
B-but ... my immersion!
No, today the econcomy is terrible. Between higher prices and lower pay, people can't afford to move out.
That said, I dislike the set. It just doesn't feel natural. Less like an intentional set, more like a bunch of props all crammed into one space with a theme. The Bunk-Desk is too modern, the furnature looks like poorly cared for antiques, the room is massive, and feels both cluttered and empty at the same time because alot of the stuff seems to be there just because and not because it makes sense.
They did. And on this side of the pond, some did that even earlier, at 9 or 10.
I had built lofts for my dorm rooms in the early 80's. It gave us living and study space beneath.
Yes it is!
There surely must be a happy in-between place. I did all kinds of stuff for money when I was a kid. Paper routes, stuffing newspapers and magazines, working at odd-jobs. It was all worth it, and I wasn't working for "the man". I was working for ME! That's what my dad told me and I never looked back.
It is not healthy little birdies to never leave the nest. Learning how to run a household, pay bills, clean toilets, cook food, and keep the cockroaches out; those are all valuable life-lessons.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential…these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.” – Confucius
I had to google "lawnmower parenting". :o
just calling it what it is :)
True!
Yeah, everything looks like someone went to a used furniture store and put random stuff together to make the room functional. Nobody in the 20's had metal shelving and wooden cubbies, etc, etc.. There are what looks like old world maps with pens and inkwells. It kind of looks like a kit bash with props and things from other sets. And the motorcycle?....unless the room is a converted garage space, how are they gonna get a motorcycle in it? Doesn't make sense.
Yeah... The average worker, inflation-adjusted, hasn't really had a raise in 50 years. Heck, 20 years ago, I was thinking "This is getting bad - you can't afford to not have a roommate anymore." Now, it's like a Monty Python skit - "Roommate?!? We're starting to dream of having a roommate! There're thirty-seven of us living in a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin."
Mod Edit:- to remove an incorrectly assigned quote
"Sheet of tarpaulin? You were lucky to have a sheet of taraulin! In my day, we had to make do with an old piece of construction paper, and if it rained, it leaked!"
"Luxury. We had to live in a lake!"
"We got evicted from OUR hole in the ground..."
