This ladder is light (only 20lb, compare to 30+ for conventional ones) and easy to use. I am not very strong, but I can easily transport this anywhere, set it up and collapse it back when done. I was worried that the ladder would be too narrow, but it's adequately wide, and the rungs are comfortable to stand on. This product is solidly and cleverly made, definitely worth the extra $ compared to those heavy clunkers sold at the hardware store.

The ladder is very light and portable. Watch out for the oil or grease when you extend it. About the only drawback to this ladder is its flexibility and tendancy to shake. When fully extended, it bends alarmingly as you climb it. I'm no where close to 300 lbs but if I climb at any normal angle to a wall, it feels like the ladder is going to collapse and It loses probably about a foot of length due to the bending. Also, watch out for the two metal tabs underneath each step. You'll want to carefully inspect each one to make sure it's fully extended. Otherwise, you will have a step which collapses as you climb and put your weight on it.

This thing is awesome. I had picked up one like it (knock off) at target for a hundred bucks and after using it and scaring the crap out of me when I was up high I took it back and ordered this one. Its sturdy and you feel safe. Still a little wobble due to it telescoping but not bad. Well designed! Fits in my hatch back sports car.
