About the Item
This is a Pine Metamorphic chair, it can be used either as a normal chair or when the top is flipped over it transforms into a step ladder.
This is a country piece from Nuremberg Germany, it is about 100 years old or older.
Many women in Germany are not very tall and like me they have trouble reaching things on high shelves. So this is a very popular item frequently to be found in Farmhouse Kitchens or Showrooms, also in libraries.
I have shown the chair in both positions in the pictures and it is very easy to flip you can do it with one hand whether you are using it as a cha1r or as a step ladder this is a steady piece and very useful.
See also the folding process in the video.
The Metamorphic Chair can also be found in Libraries so perhaps you could use this in your office or Library, it is in used but good condition
When open as a ladder the highest step 34” and the lowest is approx. 8 inches high, the floor measurements are 14” wide and 25” deep.
The size given in the dimensions section refers to the item seen on the first picture, used as a chair.
The Seat high is approx. 17".
