Description
British maker, Staples, made modular Ladderax systems, incorporating shelves, bureau desks, bookcases, corner units and more. These different elements can be configured in whatever way suits. Truly versatile pieces of furniture, this large, three-bay ensemble featuring a right hand corner is a fine example of a multi-functional piece of domestic furniture that delivers masses of storage, work and display space. It has the chunkier wooden, wall-leaning ‘ladders’ dating it to the seventies. It incorporates a neat record cabinet with interior dividers and two units (one small with pigeon holes and one large) that could serve as desks with a chair pulled up at either. Or the large cabinet could be used for drinks. This piece of classic, midcentury furniture would create an impressive, statement feature wall, adding instant retro charm to an interior. Move the shelves and cabinets around to tailor it for you and your home.
Original Homewares offers a thoughtfully selected collection of vintage & midcentury furniture, lights & homeware, chosen for today’s homes. Our goal is to present well-crafted, well-designed, practical pieces with narrative & character that still have a place & purpose. Sourcing from across the UK & Europe, from all periods, ranging from late 19th Century antiques to classic midcentury design to considered items from the past 25-30 years.

Various bolts to secure the units to the ladders for stability
In our experience, Ladderax systems are usually rather knocked and scuffed, partly because of their age and partly because of their function as a multi-purpose, high-use piece of furniture. This set has faired pretty well but there are signs of wear and tear in line with its age and function. Scuffs, fading, knocks and chips to the teak veneer and scratches across the various cabinets, shelves and uprights. There are water marks on the top of the record cabinet, and some veneer chips to the side top edge of the other small cabinet but it’s worth noting this isn’t visible, hidden by the ladder upright when in position. Also one of the triangular corner shelves is quite heavily scratched. Although not deep, they are visible so we would suggest this shelf is placed up high. Please refer to our photos for a good sense of this set’s condition. Our price reflects the wear and tear. All four cabinets have clean and tidy interiors, as well as hinges and closures in good, working order. The two keys supplied work across all three lockable cabinets. The glass front bookcase has sliding doors that move with ease in their runners and a height-adjustable glass shelf inside. The nature of this modular system means it can be configured in all manner of ways – we would recommend that there are two people on hand during assembly. The uprights of this particular set are wall-leaning and the only specific wear to call out is to the three circular plastic feet that rest on the floor at the front. Although in place and intact, they have worn. Please do browse all our photos for an accurate sense of its order. If you have any questions, please do get in touch.

Returns
We have a 14-day return guarantee for orders from individual sellers, within the UK and European Union. View full policy.
We can arrange fast delivery with experienced delivery partners who cover most of the UK mainland that we have worked with for many years. We have a weekly collection of sold pieces, usually every Thursday, and onward delivery to our customers follows 1-5 days after this, depending on the delivery address. They are reliable and insured but their service does require a little flexibility as they work to set routes. They will confirm a date when they are next in your area and able to deliver. They will then update you directly via text with delivery updates and timings.
Please enquire for Scotland & remote addresses - we can quote separately for this.
Smaller items, such as lamps, are sent via DPD to UK mainland locations and the price is quoted in the description for this service. Tracking information is provided and this is a Mon-Fri delivery service.
You are of course very welcome to collect or arrange your own collection / delivery - just let us know.
Feel free to drop us a message if you'd like to know about delivery dates and options prior to purchase.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 13th August 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
All items at Vinterior are special and unique, and we understand that once they are at the Customer's place, they might not fit the space or just don’t feel right. This is why we offer a market-leading 100-day returns policy for purchases from Professional sellers for items under £3000 in value after goods have been received by customers based in the UK and European Union. This means Vinterior customers can return their items for any reason up to 100 days from the day they were received if the item value is less then £3000.
If purchased from an Individual seller or the item value is above £3000, a 14-day return policy applies from the day it was received.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
