This Amazon Tiny House Expands for More Room

A Spiderman-shaped waffle iron. A sequined pillowcase of Nicolas Cage. A candle that smells like Dr. Pepper. If you can dream it, Amazon likely already has it listed for sale. Avid Travel + Leisure readers already know that this rule of thumb also applies to build-it-yourself tiny homes. We’ve covered the retailer’s selection of prefab homes, including this cozy $8,000 wood cabin, many times before. But we’ve yet to find a first-person account of what it’s like to set up one of these Amazon tiny homes—until today that is.

We’ve just discovered a full video review of a spacious prefabricated Amazon tiny home, and we almost can’t believe how easy the setup process is. Currently listed for $26,000, this tiny home is delivered as a rectangular container that simply—get this—unfolds to create a fully functional living space. 

Last year, comedy vlogger Nathan Graham—whose YouTube channel Unspeakable Studios boasts nearly three and a half million subscribers—recorded a video of the entire process. Graham captured himself and his fellow channel partners’ antics while unboxing, unfolding, and decorating a near-identical version of this Jaxenor tiny home from Amazon. 

While Graham’s channel is comedic in nature, the results are no joke. Graham and his team are seen pulling and snapping each exterior wall together with little effort. “This thing is so easy to build, you literally just unfold it,” Graham says to the camera. 

The quality and attention to detail are apparent, too, even upon initial unboxing. This tiny home has a built-in bathroom that comes with a toilet, shower, sink, and mirrored medicine cabinet. It also comes with a large, open floor plan that can be divided into two bedrooms. Note: You’ll need to provide plumbing and electrical wiring yourself.

This prefab home is covered with massive, operational windows that allow light to pour in on each side and can be opened to let in a cool breeze. Dark ceiling accents add extra visual height to the space, especially in contrast to the laminate wood floors. Meanwhile, the stainless steel plumbing fixtures—which come fully installed and ready to be hooked up to a water line—add modern flair to the tiny home.

After seeing how Graham and his team decided to decorate their tiny home to create the ultimate gamer hideaway, it seems like there are limitless possibilities for how this tiny home could be outfitted. Throw in some bunk beds, bean bags, and a widescreen television, and you’ve got an after-school hangout space suited for the kiddos. Or add bookshelves, some lamps, a fluffy rug, and a deep-seated daybed for the private reading nook of your dreams. With its U-shaped floor plan and minimalist style, the options are truly endless.
