Dien Luc grew up in the mountains of Nghe An, where wood wasn’t just a material - it was part of everyday language. He became known in the workshop for working with slabs full of knots, wild grain, and unpredictable patterns - the exact pieces most craftsmen quietly push to the side and hope someone else deals with.

“A knot in the wood is not a flaw. It is the tree remembering something.”
Dien Luc grew up in the mountains of Nghe An, where wood wasn’t just a material - it was part of everyday language. He became known in the workshop for working with slabs full of knots, wild grain, and unpredictable patterns - the exact pieces most craftsmen quietly push to the side and hope someone else deals with.
Dien Luc does the opposite. Those are the boards he goes looking for first.
He believes every mark, crack, and imperfect surface carries a story that deserves to be shown properly, not sanded away and hidden under perfection. Around him, even the roughest piece of wood somehow ends up feeling honest instead of damaged.

Rustic Vertical Efficiency Meets Calming Bathroom Sanctuary Design Maximize compact bathroom footprints and bring warm artisan craft to your master en-suite or powder room with this handcrafted solid wood over-the-toilet leaning ladder shelf by Ashdeco. Rising 72 inches tall with an intentional leaning profile, this space-saving organizer bridges functional vertical storage with organic modern styling. Engineered with a generous 37-inch clearance beneath the lowest shelf to fit comfortably over standard and extended toilet tanks, its trio of deep, live-edge front tiers provides an open, airy stage for folded waffle towels, apothecary jars, amber pump bottles, and botanical accents without closing in small spaces.
Authentic Handcrafted Solid Wood Craftsmanship Crafted entirely from genuine solid wood, shaping the sturdy 1.5-inch thick angled side posts and hand-sculpted live-edge shelf details demands master-level artisan woodworking. Running your hands across the silky timber surfaces reveals the rich grain depth, warm honey-amber undertones, and substantial tactile presence of authentic wood. Every single ladder shelf possesses its own distinct natural identity-showcasing continuous grain flows wrapping along the 1-inch thick display planks, soft live-edge textural facets, and authentic timber knot signatures that deepen in character over time. A specialized water-resistant and moisture-sealed matte finish shields the timber against daily steam, water splashes, and high bathroom humidity while preserving its smooth, natural touch.
Why Choose This Over-The-Toilet Ladder Shelf?
Generous 37-Inch Bottom Clearance: Thoughtfully sized to fit over standard, modern high-profile, or dual-flush toilet tanks without obstructing plumbing access or lid operation.
Three Open Live-Edge Storage Tiers: 12-inch vertical spacing between shelves provides ample room for rolled bath towels, woven baskets, candles, and framed art.
Stable Leaning Ladder Architecture: 18-inch deep base footprint creates a stable leaning stance that saves floor space while keeping essentials effortlessly accessible.
Seamless Suite Matching: Designed to pair harmoniously with Ashdeco solid wood bathroom vanities, linen sideboards, and earthy stone basin counters.
Versatile Modern Aesthetic: Pairs effortlessly with Japandi, organic modern, rustic farmhouse, wabi-sabi, and warm minimalist bath retreats.

Customization & Sizing Options Because each ladder shelf is individually handcrafted from natural solid wood, Ashdeco offers bespoke tailoring to fit your bathroom layout.

Soul of wood
No two tables are ever the same
Every plank carries its own grain, color, and knots. These aren't flaws - they are time's signature, the fingerprint of a tree that lived for decades. When you touch a Ashdeco table, you're touching the years it stood through.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, commissions, and care.
How long does shipping take?
In Vietnam: 3-5 days. International: 10-14 days. Larger pieces (tables, cabinets) may take longer due to custom crating. All shipments include tracking and insurance.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated by weight + dimensions at checkout. You'll see the exact quote before paying.
How long does a commission take?
4-8 weeks depending on complexity. A 6-seater dining table takes ~6 weeks, a console cabinet ~4 weeks, a large sideboard ~8 weeks.
50% deposit is required when you confirm sketches. The remaining 50% is due when the piece is finished, before shipping. Full refund within 48 hours of deposit if you change your mind.
How do I take care of my wood piece?
Wipe with a damp cloth — no chemicals. Apply wood oil 1-2 times per year (we include a starter bottle). Avoid direct sunlight and big humidity changes.
What if my piece develops cracks?
Wood expands and contracts with humidity — minor cracks are natural and part of the material. Major cracks within the first year: we fix free. After 1 year, we charge labor only.
Can I return a piece?
Ready-made pieces: 30-day returns (must arrive intact). Commissions: final sale (since they're custom-made for you). If anything arrives damaged, we'll repair or replace at no cost.
