The Maydear bamboo ladder shelf is crafted from Moso bamboo, a material known for being both lightweight and naturally strong. This unit is highly portable, weighing only about 7 pounds, making it easy to move between rooms. The design features recessed screw heads, a practical detail that helps prevent the hardware from snagging on fabrics if you use the shelves for towels or clothing.
While bamboo has high tensile strength, the shelves are most reliable when holding between 12 and 15 pounds. The slatted design of the shelves allows for airflow, which is useful for organizing items in a laundry room or bedroom. Because the shelves use a laminate construction, it is best to avoid placing the unit in areas with constant steam to ensure the shelf surfaces remain flat and secure over time.
To ensure a smooth assembly, it is recommended to start all screws by hand to avoid putting stress on the wood grain. Since the unit has a high center of gravity, using the included wall-tether is a necessary step for maintaining stability. This shelf offers an eco-conscious way to add tiered storage to any room with a small footprint.
If you prefer a shelf with a built-in drawer for smaller accessories, consider the Furologee ladder shelf.
