Six open shelves climb 70 in on a powder-coated steel frame, giving a small footprint of 27 in by 13.5 in the storage volume of a full wall unit. Each 24.5-in by 13-in board carries up to 50 lbs with 12 in of clearance above it, so cookbooks, storage crates, and stereo gear all load in. A 2.5-in lip runs along the shelf edges to catch anything that gets nudged, and four hooks on the uprights hang tote bags, headphones, oven mitts, or a watering can within reach. An X-shaped rear brace, adjustable foot pads, and an anti-toppling device hold the tower steady.
