Solid Oak Ladder Shelf — 70-Inch Leaning Bookshelf | Graduated Shelves | Custom Size & Finish

A leaning ladder shelf that holds 50 pounds per shelf — built from solid hardwood, not MDF, not veneer, not particleboard. This is the shelf that stays put.

At 70 inches tall with five tiers of graduated depth, it's designed the way storage should be: heavier items on the wider, deeper bottom shelves — lighter things toward the top. Plants, books, framed photos, candles, collectibles — everything has a place, and nothing's fighting for it.

70 inches tall × 24-25 inches wide
Five tiers with graduated shelf depths:

I'm Rodney. I've been building solid hardwood furniture by hand for over 10 years. Costs nothing to ask about changes — and I mean that.

10 years. 168 handcrafted pieces. Every one built for the person who ordered it.
NOTE: Because of the size and structure of the items I build and sell I ask that you message me prior to all potential purchases. Costs of shipping will be addressed within our conversations. Once all the details of the build and the shipping costs are agreed on, I will change the listing to include the total purchase price, or as an option, I may create a whole new listing that identifies the buyer in the Listing Title, such as, "Mike's King Size Bunk Beds".
Our conversations become a part of the build throughout.
