Aldsworth Shelf Ladder Wide, Large - Natural

Our Ethical Tag System

The Aldsworth Shelf is crafted from European Spruce. This piece utilises a fast-growing, highly renewable softwood harvested from responsibly managed forests. Naturally strong yet lightweight, spruce offers timeless organic texture with a significantly lower carbon footprint than synthetic materials or metals.

To ensure a safe indoor climate and protect the makers behind it, the wood is treated exclusively with low-VOC, non-toxic water-based finishes. Designed for everyday durability, ease of repair, and ultimate biodegradability, it brings authentic quality to your home while honouring the planet.

Garden Trading uses highly responsible, high-density cardboard packaging specifically designed to minimise waste while ensuring maximum transit protection. To keep its carbon footprint low, large items like dining tables and benches are expertly flat-packed into streamlined, space-efficient cartons, significantly reducing the transport emissions required for delivery.

Prioritising sustainability, Garden Trading uses mostly recycled, fully recyclable paper-based materials, avoiding excessive plastic wrap and eliminating bulky, non-recyclable fillers wherever possible. This ensures your furniture arrives safely and securely in an eco-friendly package that can be easily disposed of in standard household recycling bins
