It has the body of a chair but the mind of a step ladder

This has to be one of the most inventive pieces of woodwork I have seen in a while.

During a recent visit to the self build show in City West last weekend I stumbled across this little invention.

For normal use, it acts like a solid chair. When required it can flip over and be a step ladder. This can be a real space saver especially for those who would use a step ladder quite often around the house.

The price was €80. From doing woodwork myself from time to time this price is very modest considering the amound of craftsmanship involved.
