ladder shelf

Leaning storage unit

A ladder shelf is a freestanding shelving unit that leans against a wall at an angle, with shelves that typically get narrower toward the top—resembling a ladder in profile.

The design is popular in modern home décor for its open, airy look: She arranged plants and books on the ladder shelf in the corner.

Unlike traditional bookcases, ladder shelves aren't meant to be anchored and can be moved easily.
