This is a clever and iconic design, the ladderax units were made by Staples and were designed to be extremely flexible, self supporting and easy to assemble.

This unit consists of three ebonised metal rails and twelve teak shelves with supporting rails. It is a very useful size, being the lightly slimmer version from front to back, so does not impose too much into the room, yet offers lots of storage space.

This is in lovely condition for its age, with only some minor wear here and there. It completely flat packs for ease of transport, and is very easy to assemble. Once assembled, this does not need to be attached to a wall, it is completely self supporting. The shelves can be adjusted to whatever height or configuration required.
