A Perfect Balance

We call it The Essential Bookshelf. But it’s isn’t just designed to be essential –– it’s designed to be everywhere, forever.

Sleek — With a minimalist, open, & airy design, it elevates and blends into every space.

Safe — It safely anchors into any wall. It holds books, art, decor, and more –– easily.

Sturdy — It’s made from aluminum and real wood, materials that were selected to last a lifetime.

Materials

Light Aluminum Frame

There's a reason we like metal furniture. It lasts forever, never wobbles and keeps looking great. The all aluminum frame is insanely sturdy, impressively stable and amazingly long-lasting — all while being lightweight.

100% Real Wood Shelving

Our wood is a rare combination of durable, workable and beautiful. That combination makes it the perfect material for the book shelves. Each shelf is then completed with a hi-gloss lacquer finish — creating a shiny, silky effect.

Design

Minimalist Japanese Design

We're fans of Japanese interior design. The bookshelf’s angular, high reaching design feels aspirational and bright. Meanwhile, the long, straight horizontal lines add a sense of balance, while binding any room together.

Elevated Finish

We asked for a hi-gloss lacquer finish. The shiny, silky coating makes the bookshelf feel distinctive, modern, and high-end.


5 Roomy Shelves

We obsessed over the shelves. Because they’re the heart of the piece.

The end result was a bookshelf with five, open, evenly spaced, extra-deep shelves. They’re designed to treat anything — even the mundane — as art.

In Snow and Slate

Our bookshelves are available in two classic Essential shades— snow and slate.

Snow is our balanced white. It goes with any modern aesthetic and it stands out just the right amount — never taking the spotlight but never just blending in.

Slate is our cool, dark space gray. It goes with nearly any aesthetic and it frames nearly any room.

The snow looks incredibly elegant while the slate is sleek. Everything you expect from the Essential home.

Questions About The Ladder Bookshelf

How long until I receive my order?

The Ladder Bookshelf arrives approximately 3 - 5 Days from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The Ladder Bookshelf can be returned after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Ladder Bookshelf ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
