I like the overall design and the compactness of this ladder, but I do not find it to be safe.

As I was coming down the ladder, my foot landed on the first step and the legs shifted.  I almost fell off.  Upon examining the ladder, I found that there was no locking mechanism to lock the legs.  If you look at most other 2-step folding ladders, you will find a locking mechanism between the two legs to make sure the legs do not shift. 

I am returning it.
