It's coated in polyurethane after staining. I'm going to add something else though because I'm concerned about that - I'm thinking of some drawer liner rubbery stuff laid over each rung. Many of them have been hanging over an old ladder in our bedroom - came from my in-laws' house - for about 15 years and I see no signs that any problems came because of that, but ... just in case ...

What an amazing collection of family quilts. And that's a wonderful way to display them.

A reminder to rotate them and refold for fading......but do not put them away.....enjoy them and allow them to put a smile on your face every day

Wow, all the way to the ceiling. nothing like using all space available. Good for him!! and you too!!!

Great ladder and the quilts displayed on it are wonderful.

He did a great job! Put a star on his chart! :D

Your quilts and ladder are really nice. Thanks so much for sharing

Is the 2nd quilt down a spinning star? I also have a quilting ladder, but I bought it, not made. I enjoy using it. You're lucky to have one like that - more rungs than mine.

Very nice way to display your beautiful quilt collection!

I am soooo jealous. I have wanted a quilt ladder for a long time. It is beautiful.
