You might’ve previously thought that one can never have too many blankets. After all, why would you want to put a cap on your home’s coziness factor? From weighted numbers to waffle knit throws, come fall, it’s natural to want to keep a blanket (or two) in every room. But considering that you clicked on this post, you probably find yourself in the same boat as a lot of our staffers here at AT. That is, drowning in blankets. We test them for a living, which means you don’t want to know what the insides of our linen closets look like right now. Or our dresser drawers. Or the spaces underneath our beds. On the bright side, we also test storage solutions, so we’re always on the lookout for a good organizer to corral the quilt-induced chaos plaguing our rooms. It just so happens that we recently stumbled across a solution on Wayfair that’s both perfect for small spaces and totally budget-friendly. The metal blanket ladder is going to be your best friend this season (and beyond).

What is the Metal Blanket Ladder?

The metal blanket ladder is a shelving system that measures just over 5 feet tall and sports four horizontal rungs that can hold all kinds of soft goods, including blankets, towels, and clothes. The best part is that you don’t have to mount the ladder to the wall, making it perfect for renters. Instead, simply prop it up, and then load it up. Although this product weighs only 2 lbs, its solid metal construction makes it plenty sturdy to withstand heaps of blankets. What’s more, the ladder is available in a scratch-resistant matte black finish that’ll add an air of sophistication to your bedroom or living area. Because it’s so slim, too, the storage solution will take up barely any space; you can safely tuck it into an unused corner without having to sacrifice precious floor space.

What Wayfair Reviewers Are Saying

Average Rating: 4.4/5

“I was worried it wouldn’t hold as many blankets as I needed it too, but the stability is great, and the space between each step on the ladder allows me to stack them up!” — Shannon

“This blanket ladder was the perfect addition to my living room to help me organize my mess of blankets! The assembly was SUPER easy, and you even have the option to fasten it to the wall for sturdiness. The ladder is tall and has four racks you can put blankets on. I love it!” — Jennifer

“Simple but beautiful and does the job perfectly! It’s a definite if you need a blanket holder but don’t want anything too obvious or heavy.” — Jaclyn

Is it the most chic and compact blanket holder on the market? For $30, we dare say it is. Plus, it’s so versatile in terms of all the things it can hold; as some shoppers noted, the ladder is also great for those not-clean-but-not-dirty clothes that you don’t want to keep in the closet or the hamper. Basically, the storage opportunities are endless once you get your hands on this brilliant ladder.
