As I have aged (now 75), I have become less agile and less confident on ladders. This ladder is an exception. When changing ceiling light bulbs, the tray lets me put the glass shade and threaded fitting on the right-height tray. At the same time, the two side rails are solid and easy to grip while working with one hand over my head.

Just put it together, feels sturdy when standing on the fourth step. I’m not good with heights and being vertically challenged I really appreciate how solid this feels. Will be great whenever light bulbs have to be changed.

This is heavy enough to be sturdy but easy enough to move to different areas as needed. Perfect when a standard step ladder won't do but you don't want to start messing with a real ladder.

100%what I was looking for. Stable, secure, hand rails, easy fold away.

It was easy to assemble with minimal effort and, it also had the wrenches to do so. It’s nice and stable and not as heavy as it looks. Good ladders and the rails definitely help a person’s stability

The ladder is not a heavy duty, probably best used for light indoor applications. The handrails and wide treads work well for stability and ease of use. I have a problem with balance and the wide treads and handrails help a lot.

Very sturdy. The handles, the 70 inch high grab bar, the deep steps are all features I was looking for. I hung curtains and felt very secure. The only downside is that the ladder weighs 23 pounds. A little heavy for me. But doable. I stored it in a bedroom closet bc it is big. Will not replace your light weight and shorter step stool. But for your higher work, excellent.

Purchased 5-step ladder. Came in 1 large cardboard box with picture of item on outside. All to-be-assembled parts were zip tied to the ladder, and the entire thing was shrink wrapped. Easy to follow picture instructions, though it is pretty self explanatory without them. Came with 4 hex screws with backs for the left and right handles (2 screws for each side) and both handles labeled with stickers to easily identify which side they attach to. It came with 2 slightly larger hex screws with backs for the top handle (tray already attached to handle and handle slides down into top of step ladder). It also came with 2 Allen keys to tighten each screw together. Very easy and quickly completed. Ladder easily folds and unfolds and locks in place with a bright yellow plastic handle at the back of the top step. Very sturdy.I am 5'9" and on the top (5th) step I can reach just an inch or two short of 11 foot high ceiling to change a light bulb. FYI since so many people seemed to ask this question but didn't get answers: The 5th step is 46&1/4" off the ground, the 4th step is 36&3/4" off the ground, and the 3rd step is 27&3/4" off the ground. I'm assuming these measurements would apply to the 4 and 3 step ladders. As you can see from my picture, the normal ceiling height is 8 feet. I can reach the lower canned lights on the 3rd step. The higher set of canned lights are just short of 11 feet and that is with me stretching my full height with feet flat. I can't reach the smoke detector which is probably around 14 feet high.The only thing I don't like is when I am on the top step, the top handle only reaches just below my knees. While I do appreciate at least something to lean against to be more stable, I do wish the top handle and side handles were a little taller so I could either lean more of my body weight against it to feel more stable or keep one hand on it, while using the other hand to reach what I need. As it is I carefully hold the top handle as I place my knees against it, then slowly raise my body until my left hand touches the ceiling to balance myself. It you are slightly uncomfortable on the 5th step being that high, just do what I do and have someone behind you slightly pushing on your back so you feel more secure.All in all, it is a great step ladder. I thought it was very reasonable. I do NOT regret purchasing it at all as it was the only thing I could find that would give me the height I needed that I felt comfortable with the size, style (handles), durability, price and the amount of positive reviews. You really can't go wrong. It is much cheaper than a normal ladder, which wouldn't be as safe and having the feeling of being more stable when having to climb high is well worth the just over $100 investment. Unless you only have 8 foot ceilings I would recommend getting the 5 step ladder anyway, just in case you ever need it, plus then the handle will be higher for you to hold on to, even if you only climb to the 4th step.

It has foam grippers on the side rails and top handle. It locks & unlocks with ease and it's easy to tell before you get on it. It comes with all the tools you need and it comes together in less than 15 minutes. I'm a senior and had no problem going up to the 2nd step safely. It was a little heavy though. Overall a great buy.

Got this for my Dad who just won’t stop being the handyman that he is. His standard ladder made me nervous and this was the perfect solution.Treads are nice and wide for going up and down and the handles are great for stabilizing yourself when carrying items up the ladder.Easy open and close and treads lock into place.

Easy to put together, not super heavy to move around, really easy to fold up when not needed, and sturdy. Also I loved the fact it has paddded handles. Didn't realize how much of a difference it makes when using it multiple times a day.Also, my cat loves the extra ledge at the top, he thinks it was made for him....so I know that part of the ladder can hold at least 14lbs confidently.

I chose this step ladder because I needed a sturdy step ladder, one tall enough for me to do some of the things around the house that I have had to ask others to do. The side rails really help me to feel safe and steady which is important so I don't fall. The ladder is well made and holds a good grip on solid surfaces. I didn't think the section to hold things would be that useful however I had to use the very first time I used it to install a door bell! It was delivered fast and in excellent condition because it was well boxed and shrink wrapped. This is truly the safest step ladder I have ever used and being in my 70's, that's really important. Now I don't have to wait for someone to visit to get some things done! It is heavy at 28 lbs but I can "walk it" without lifting it, so I can use it by myself.

I'm in my 70s and was looking for a step ladder that was tall enough for me to reach the AC vents in our 10' living room ceiling and safe enough to minimize the risk of falling. Was tired of hauling in my old Little Giant ladder. Lots of things to like about this ladder (the 5-step version with the tool platform, rather than the tool bag) ... but the grab handles sold me. It is light enough to carry around and hang from the joists down in my tool room. Assembly was quick and easy and no parts were missing. I only weigh 150, so the steps are more than sturdy enough to support me and appear they would easily support their documented max weight. Overall a good ladder for the price. Now, the things that I would consider cons and don't thrill me ... and there are only two. First, while the ladder seems more than sturdy enough to stand on the top step while on solid surfaces (like hardwood, vinyl, or ceramic floors), the same can't be said about using it on thick/plush carpeting. The ladder exhibited a bit of wobble on thick carpeting. Secondly, the leg feet seem to be made of a somewhat hard plastic or PVC instead of a softer rubber. If you use the ladder on hardwood flooring, you risk scratching or marring the wood finish. The feet seem to be attached to the legs with adhesive or are press fit, as they would not pull or twist off in order to replace them with rubber leg tips. I ordered some larger rubber leg tips in hopes of slipping them over these hard ones that came installed on the ladder. Hopefully, this will help when using the ladder on my hardwood flooring.
