Scott and Hannah turned an old ladder into a book shelf. Neat idea!

That ladder in my basement, it’s going up on the wall. Thanks!

They should have put the mounts facing ‘up’ behind the rungs. Big fail on a cool idea.

  That’s a good idea and an easy change, I’d think.

  No, I don’t need to post to Pinterest because I can post to Boing Boing instead.

  I like this one better – it doesn’t have any Dan Brown books on it.

I am looking at this and thinking… man that needs to be secured to the wall a lot better.

Is that in a corner? Because if it isn’t it sure is a nifty shelf in a corner on a flat wall optical illusion.

I prefer these ladder shelves. Boards are required, sure, but it holds more and the assembly is super easy- unfold ladder(s) and position boards:
