Nauticalia

These versatile folding steps come complete with a rail on both sides for added safety. Originally designed for library use, you could find many other applications around the home – getting into high-up kitchen cupboards for example. They are nicely made from solid mahogany - smart enough to be a piece of furniture rather than hiding them away.
 
In use the height of the top step is 3ft, with the railing at 5ft; folded away it measures 71x18x5”. British Safety Standard Approved.
