There’s no banister in the picture. It looks like maybe there’s a support for a banister, but that doesn’t magically make the tops of the steps into the sides of the steps.

If you are so pedantic so as to not consider the support for the banister as part of the banister, then frankly I have no interest in the necessary effort required to discuss this or any matter further with you.

  I’m not the one being pedantic. Whatever that object is, it’s not clear that it’s a banister.

Ok. Then use what you know of gravity and look for things that should be the other way if this were at the bottom.

  Exactly. I’m using what I know of gravity. The mattress should be resting on top of something. If we’re looking down, it is. If we’re looking up, it’s floating in mid-air, apparently wedged against both walls even though it doesn’t look firmly wedged on the right side.

    Alternately the left side of it is wedged because of the bannister it’s butted into.
    
    The stairs show a kick pattern and the paint appears broken linearly due to the movement of the carpeting when kicked.
    
    The mattress itself appears to bulge towards the viewer.
    
    It’s all about perspective, that’s the whole point of the picture.
    
    I see evidence for it being at the top, you see evidence for otherwise and lots of folks show how little they’re able to regulate their emotions through simple friendly discussion.
