After browsing through numerous choices for accent ladders, I chose this 5.5 ft. ladder to hang cotton blankets on in my outdoor living room.  The ladder arrived quickly and in perfect condition.  The reason for 4 stars is because the finish is a bit on the "pink" side.  I may go over the ladder with white wax in the future to achieve a finish closer to the color I was hoping for.   The wood finish is smooth and will not snag my blankets.
