5 Tier Wood and Metal A-Frame Ladder Shelf

Stacks of books are heavy. So it’s not too surprising that most bookcases can seem so big and burdensome. But this A-frame ladder shelf is not like most bookcases. It’s sleek, asymmetrical frame narrows as it ascends from the floor, lending a slimming effect to slip harmoniously into most spaces. Five shelves still support plenty of storage, with many home designers placing heavier items (like books or bins) onto the bottom shelves, reserving the upper tiers for picture frames, leafy plants, and other softer decor. A sturdy steel frame and protective veneer on the shelves make this a piece that can tackle tough home organization and look good doing it.
