Quick answer
Attach removable table tops to your Swedish Ladder Wall Gym to create an instant flat surface for storing and organizing toys, art supplies, and books—freeing up floor space and making cleanup easier.
What you can store on removable table tops
Because the table tops sit securely in the pull-up bar grooves, they can handle moderate weight—ideal for bins of LEGOs, baskets of art supplies, or a stack of picture books. Avoid placing heavy items like full toy bins or large books; use lightweight containers instead.
The 6 mm birch plywood surface is smooth and easy to wipe clean, making it a good spot for messy play like paint or playdough when you set a mat first. The two-tabletop design gives you side-by-side zones: one for active projects, one for storing the materials.
A trade-off to consider
The removable table tops are not a permanent storage solution—they require the wall gym to be installed and stable. If you need fixed shelving in a hallway or bedroom, a traditional shelf might be simpler. But for a playroom that doubles as a climbing zone, the flexibility is a clear win.
How to turn your wall bars into a storage station
- Install the wall gym and check stability: Make sure your Swedish Ladder Wall Gym is securely mounted to the wall studs before attaching the table tops. Use a level to confirm the pull-up bar grooves are straight so the table tops sit evenly. A wobbly wall gym will make the table tops unstable—tug each bar before adding weight.
- Insert one table top into the groove of the highest pull-up bar: Slide the first table top into the groove so it rests flat. Repeat with the second table top at the same height on the adjacent bar for a continuous surface. Leaving a gap between the two tops can cause small items to fall through; push them together until the edges meet.
- Choose lightweight storage containers that fit the surface: Place shallow trays, caddies, or baskets on the table tops. Fill with crayons, small toys, or books. Keep anything heavy (like a full pencil case) in a separate floor bin. Overloading the tops can bow the plywood or cause them to pop out of the grooves—stick to items that weigh less than 5 lbs per top.
- Rotate items based on your child's current interests: Swap the stored items weekly: one week keep art supplies, the next week sensory bins or puzzle pieces. The removable design makes it easy to clear the surface for a new activity. Set a timer for five minutes before switching activities—your child can help move the items to a floor bin so the tops are ready for the next use.
What you need

Removable Table Tops: Each setup uses two tabletops that securely insert into the pull-up bar grooves. They are made of 6 mm birch plywood. The thin plywood is lightweight enough to lift off quickly but sturdy for everyday drawing or snack time.
Removable Table Tops
Removable table tops are a flexible, low-cost way to add storage to an existing wall gym without buying extra furniture. Start with light items, rotate frequently, and enjoy a cleaner playroom that still leaves room to climb.
