Butler-Oiled oak

 

Born from the desire to create a versatile step ladder to fit modern urban lifestyles, Shane Schneck has created in Butler a clever and multifunctional household item. Providing two extra steps when used as a ladder, the larger lower step allows it to be utilised as a side table, stool or bedside bench when not serving its primary function. Crafted in solid oak with contemporary detailing, Butler comes pre-assembled and ready to use.
