Sometimes a product is so handy that it does double duty. This one, the Umbra Hub ladder, a portable wood rack, can do one better: It’s a triple threat when it comes to home organizing, and we have proof. (It also looks good while doing it, so does that make it a quadruple threat?) Here, we’ve found three ways to make it work at home in various rooms of your house.

A Perfect Small-Kitchen Solution

If your kitchen is low on cabinets, adding a few S-hooks to the rungs of the ladder makes it a no-installation-required way to store pots, pans, and towels. It even doubles as art.

A Floating Plant Hanger

Hang the ladder from the ceiling and you’ve got a monkey bars–like structure for displaying trailing plants such as a pothos. S-hooks come in handy here, too, though some hanging planters already have a hook.

Optimal Office Organization

Get your workspace in order by placing the ladder between your desk and a wall, and assign each rung a purpose: keeping your place in a book or magazine, displaying your calendar, or hanging on to office supplies.
