The Lost in Chair turns something annoying and turns it into a feature. This could be a neat way to merchandise some books around the library.

Every library I’ve worked in as an adult has had these step stools but they still remind me of being a kid in the library.
I’d never thought about having one around the house until I saw one on Amazon the other day. This lead me to the manufacturers website where there’s a 50th Anniversary Library Edition .
Timeless!

Quite spendy at $65 a pop but couldn’t they make for a great YS program?
Just in case, you can buy them from Ferrol Studio.

I love one of the comments on the original post
The author never had books. It looks good, stylish, but absolutely useless. It’s hard to keep books vertically even on horizontal regular bookshelf. This one will make you curse
