I have vaulted ceilings in my home, and needed a safe way to get to the high spots for cleaning and painting. This ladder is the best! It's sturdy and has a platform at the top step that's comfortable to stand on when doing projects, and has 2 trays for holding buckets and tools. It's lightweight and has a locking handle that makes it easy to carry and set up. Best purchase I've made in a long time!
