My dear husband made three ladders for me. He actually made six. Four I was supposed to sell. I sold two. I put mine in my living room, and it is full of quilts. I sold one to a friend and one at a quilt show. I gave one to my guild as a door prize for the guild's quilt show. I quit advertising them and put two in my studio. One holds quilts and one holds table runners and small wall quilts. I love them.

My DH also put up a curtain rod on this tall long wall in my living room. He is so gracious that if I say I want to change out the quilt, he goes and gets his tall ladder and helps me change it. I hang several on my wall by just stapling them across the top. These are all smaller quilts, lap tops and smaller. Plus I have two quilt racks.

I have seen them in antique pie keeps, which have metal opened doors.

Just be careful not to store directly on wood or metal, as your quilts can get stained.
