I'm giving this a full 5 stars even though there is a design flaw that I don't like. This ladder is lightweight and as I needed, very sturdy with wide steps so I that I don't fall off so easy. The handle on the top is the good AND bad to this story. The handle extends upward and locks into place to make me more stable. This handle collapses down so that when folded up and collapsed, it takes up minimal space in the corner. Here's the rub... that handle doesn't lock into place when it's down. What this means to me is, when I grab the folded up ladder to move it and I grab the top handle, it flies up abruptly. I have developed the habit of grabbing the steps by the top step to move it so that it doesn't get an attitude. I paid more money for good steps like these because Walmart's 3-step plastic steps almost killed me. I was on step number two when their cheap pop-rivets holding the step gave away. I was lucky and learned a lesson. Pay extra and get the good stuff. Read more
This is not only a great force of ladder that sets up quite easily and is easily stored. However, the great part about it is the color and the quality you can leave it out in your closet if you would like, and it adds a little bit sophistication to itit. Many of my friends have asked if I have gotten this from a specialty closet store. They are multifunctional and can be used anywhere but just very glamorous looking. Read more

I was looking for a 5-step light ladder to use in my kitchen, which has 10-foot ceilings, making top shelves inaccessibile for my 5'4" stature. This arrived a few days ago, and I couldn't be more pleased with its construction. It is easily folded back for storage, has wide stairs and is very stable, despite its light weight. It requires no assembly other than locking in the retractable hand grip. I am 78 years old and felt very comfortable climbing to the top step while decorating our Christmas tree. When folded up, it is narrow enough to fit between my garage refrigerator and freezer. Really enjoy the negineering behind this handy step ladder. Read more

How much difference could there be between a $90 ladder and a $120 ladder. Not much I thought, until I had them side by side as seen in the photos. $120 ladder is on the left side. 1. Less expensive ladder opens up to 30 inches. I thought this was good, taking up less space. In fact, it makes the ladder more steep and less stable. This $120 ladder opens up to 36 inches, less steep, more stable and easier to climb. 2. This ladder has the wide side of the rails facing forward. This again provides more stability with less rocking from side to side, compared to the ladder on the right. 3. Steps are deeper, easier to stand on and climb. I could only step sideways on the other ladder on the right. I purchased this ladder to use to water hanging plants, change lightbulbs, reach top of cabinets, etc. and it's perfect for me. My only caveat might be that while it is rated for 300 lbs, I would not recommend this ladder for anyone tall or weighing much over 200 lbs if you are going to use this regularly. I am petite all over and would consider this more of a tall stepstool. Because these types of ladders are narrow, they just aren't as stable as regular ladders. That one caveat aside, I am very happy with this purchase. Read more
