This ladder exceeded my expectations! I was hesitant to purchase it, even after reading all the great reviews…but I’m so glad I went for it. I have another ladder that was serving its purpose, but it’s big and heavy and I hate dealing with it. But this ladder (I got the white one) is awesome!! Much easier to lift and open up. I was worried about it being narrow or the steps being shallow, but so far it’s been great. I’m very happy with my purchase and may buy another of the smaller sizes too. One word of caution If you tend to be unstable on your feet at certain heights, I’d say make sure you don’t stretch yourself too far and that you have one hand free to hold onto the top of the ladder, especially if you’re on the top step—not because the ladder itself is unstable, but because you can lose your balance standing on it (particularly if looking up to change light bulbs).
