The ladder was terrible-I would never tell people how wonderful it was. The wood was like it came from something that someone didn't want anymore. So disappointed. I showed the ladder to friends-they wouldn't give it to the goodwill-lets burn it. I call & told you how disappionted I was-you are suppose to replace it with a new ladder with 3 steps not 2. We'll see what this new ladder looks like. Infact my husband could make it & it would look better than the one we got.
