A lofty idea, for sure!  What do you think of this solution for tight spaces?

Sure beats those spiral staircases, on which I'd probably kill myself..... or a ladder.

I really like it.  It fits into the modern look and it is a lot safer than a spiral staircase.

I guess it would be OK if I were a cat.

It looks pretty nifty but I guess I'm not sure how they work or how they are taken out of the wood part.

Clever! They are sturdy and have handrails. This unique design is the best I've seen so far for a loft.

There is a rail that runs along the top of the wall.  The stairs have wheels attached at the top that sit on & roll along the rail.  It probably also has wheels on the bottom that would roll along the floor as you pull the stairs out from the shelf unit.  It's a very similar idea to how barn doors operate.
