So the need to purchase a ladder has come up (not sure how it hasn’t yet, given how I’m vertically challenged), and I rather dislike the thought of the selection of poorly-designed, cheap ladders at Home Depot. Yes, I know that there are some quality, work-horse ladders, but I am not an electrician or contractor. I want something nice, well-designed, and preferably kind to the planet.

It’s difficult! My only find so far is the Cima ladder—and of course it’s not for sale.

I don’t want a ladder to house magazines or plants! This is purely utilitarian. Perhaps this is why Design*Sponge and Apartment Therapy are failing me!
