Bought for me when I was 12, so it probably seemed big back then. Much loved through my teens. It's beech but was frequently oiled with olive oil.

Looks like a DVD my dad bought from a newsagent in the 90s...

Das Kapital. It's as boring as its reputation suggests.

Just for @Pattree :p

The ladders at work got so much (ab)use that the feet broke off within weeks. Thereafter they had a tight fitting piece of wood hammered into the cavity. That always seemed to suffice for grip but it might be an option for adapting an ill fitting rubber foot too.
