Yuck. This ladder isn't at all what I expected. It arrived warped and it wouldn't rest evenly against the wall at an angle. It was also very cheap looking, and not at all the rustic look I was expecting. Construction is sub par, and the finish is so unrealistic, I wouldn't have it in my home. Extremely lightweight, and not at all worth the price. I will find another similar item elsewhere. I am truly shocked at the rave reviews of this piece!
