What Makes It Uncommon

The Great Escape

While big city landlords may frown upon placing potted plants or other objects on the real deal due to fire codes (it's actually illegal in New York City), there's certainly no restriction on what you populate this clever shelving unit with: houseplants, books, candles, framed photographs and art, or tchotchkes of all shapes and sizes. Just don't expect to fit a chair or BBQ grill on the three horizontal platforms of this miniature, wall-mountable emergency exit. Bound to thrill apartment-dwelling urbanites and lovers of all things big city. Made in China.

Usually ships within 24 hours.

Solid build and adorable, but not level.

I have been watching this item for a very, very long time. I finally decided to buy it. I am happy with how cute it is and it's built to last. My only problem is when I used a level on the shelves to hand the two pieces, the rails weren't level and it was easily noticeable. Also, where the openings are on the shelves, you it is even more uneven. I wasn't able to put what I'd hoped on it, but I still smile every time I look at it.

Bought this as an Anniversary gift from my hubby. He loved it we are from New York reminded us of home, it made a great edition to our basement bar. Stored bourbon glasses and bottles. Will recommend.

Very cute

Cute, arrived quickly. Hoping the extra cost goes to a creator as I'm assuming the wayfair knock offs don't. The shelves are very shallow so it's not going to hold anything bigger than a little succulent or a few photos, but it's cute and goes with my industrial vibe

Unique and Interesting

I hung this in my home office and enjoy it's uniqueness. It's a great conversation piece and you can change it up by populating the landings with pictures, succulents, and other interesting items.

Attractive addition to baby's room

The fire escape shelf was placed in the room being prepared for a baby boy and was decorated in a city theme.

Looks great

Looks great on our wall - unique, attractive, and sturdy once assembled. Assembly and getting it straight on the wall was tough, and it is smaller than it looks in the picture. It can only hold a few small frames and very small trinkets, candles, or itty bitty potted plants.

Could this be hung with command strips?

Verified reply from Allison

We don't recommend that. The hanging hardware included; 15 lbs. max weight limit.

Any suggestions on what small things to put on the ladder portions?

Verified reply from Deniqua

Feel free to be as creative as you like with what you choose to put on the ladder portions. Please keep in mind that the unit has a 15 lbs. max weight.

  • Columbus, ohio

Is this stackable? I have a pillar that is 12 feet high. I was thinking of getting 2 or three of these and stacking them on this pillar

Verified reply from Leslie

These were made to be hung, so while it's not stackable you could hang each one right above the other! Each shelf comes with it's own set of hardware.

Is this weatherproof?

Verified reply from SiRandal

Greetings! Thanks for your question. This item may not be weatherproof because it is made from iron and when iron mixes with water, rust formation can occur. I hope this info helps. Happy Holidays!

  • MO

What type and how many screws/nails does this use? I've moved twice since I originally purchased this and have misplaced those parts, so was wondering if I could purchase them at a hardware store.

Verified reply from Jen

The Fire Escape Shelf comes with 6 plastic wall anchors and 6, 1 1/4' black screws. This can be picked up at any hardware store. Most anchor and screw sets will come with silver screws, but if you want black screws like the original, you will need to buy the screws and anchors separately. The anchors are only needed if you are not drilling into a wall stud. If you are, you can use standard black, 1 1/4" drywall screws. If you are drilling into a surface other than drywall (concrete, brick, etc.) you will need screws and anchors made specifically for that material.

What is the weight of the shelf itself?

Verified reply from Valerie

This product weighs about 6.3 pounds.

Can I use this as an actual bookshelf?

Verified reply from Sue

You could put 1 or 2 books on it, but no more. The shelf has a 15 pound weight limit. The shelves are small; just 12" L x 3.75" W.

  • Queens

What is the total wall measurements of the shelves once they are attached and ready to hang?

Verified reply from Marisa

We're not sure what you mean by "wall measurements," but these shelves are 12" L x 3.75" W x 25.5" H. We hope that answers your question.

  • Sweden

What are the measurements of the box that it comes in? And how heavy is it? Trying to figure out if a friend of mine can bring this to Scandinavia.

Verified reply from Marisa

The box is 16" x 13" x 8" and, with the shelf inside it, weighs 6.55 lbs.

Verified reply from Marisa

The box is 16.3" L x 13.4" W x 8.3" H, and the item weighs 6.3 lbs.

What unit are the measurements in?

Verified reply from Marisa

The measurements are in inches.
