AllModern Ajax Ladder Bookcase

While the bookcase is designed as a freestanding unit, it is highly recommended to use the included wall-anchoring hardware. Because of its tall, narrow ladder profile, securing it to the wall ensures safety and prevents tipping, especially in homes with children or pets.

No, the shelves on the Ajax Ladder Bookcase are fixed. The open-frame design is intentional, so be sure to measure the height of any taller items you plan to display to ensure they fit between the rungs.

The steel construction is quite sturdy, but it is best suited for standard decor, books, and lightweight plants. We recommend keeping heavier items on the bottom shelf to maintain the unit's center of gravity and overall stability.

Assembly is straightforward and typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. All necessary hardware is included, but having a second person to help hold the frame steady while you attach the shelves will make the process much smoother.

Yes, it works on carpet, but you may notice a slight wobble depending on the thickness of your carpet pile. If you find it feels unstable, we recommend using a small shim under the feet or ensuring it is securely anchored to the wall.
