Classic Ladder

THE STORY

Classic ladders are the rolling library ladders traditionally used in a library, with library ladder wheels on the bottom and a railing to keep it in place. The library ladder provides an easy and convenient way to reach otherwise inaccessible books stored on high shelves, you know, Belle’s ladder in Beauty and the Beast.

Our classic ladders can be used in libraries, kitchens, closets, wine rooms, mud rooms, pantries and lofts. Our classic ladders feature a bevel on the step front corners, round over on the step edges and side rail edges, traction grooves on each step, step support rods under each step and a top rung or small shelf for holding books or spices. Customization is unlimited, different wood species, a variety of hardware types and colours, different edge profiles, just let us know how you want your ladder to look.
