I really like this ladder shelf. It was pretty straightforward to put together, but it’s a bit heavy and bulky to move after the fact, so probably best to assemble in the room it will be used in. Ladder shelves are especially handy on walls that have a baseboard heater running along the floor. The back of the shelves connect flush against the wall the unit is leaning up against￼￼, which is impossible with a normal bookshelf or console table￼. This unit feels sturdy enough to use without the provided wall anchor however, I have cats so the wall anchor is appreciated!
