Know before you buy
Because of its distinct lean, the ladder projects 39 inches from the wall. Ensure you have enough clearance in your room to account for this footprint.
Yes, the construction is intentionally weighty and sturdy. It is designed to maintain excellent structural integrity, making it well-suited for displaying books and heavier decorative items.
Each step provides a shelf depth of 8 inches. This is ideal for standard-sized books, small plants, or curated home accessories.
The finish is part of the piece's vintage character and does not require special treatment. You can simply dust it with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its appearance.
While the ladder is designed to be stable on its own due to its weight and angle, you may choose to add your own wall-anchoring hardware if you have concerns about stability in a high-traffic area.
