2.0 out of 5 stars Awkward and dangerous, March 1, 2008

First, note that the ladder must be completely and fully extended before it can be used. You extend the top rung up first, it clicks into place then you extend the next rung, it clicks into place, but until the last rung clicks into place the entire thing will telescope back down at near free-fall speeds. That means the whole 12.5 feet extended for each and every use, regardless of confines of the space in use or the actual height you need to reach.

Second, closing the ladder and de-telescoping the steps is dangerous. I read all the instructions. I watched the videos on the manufacturer's site. I'm a handy guy. And this thing telescoped down and took two chunks out of my hand, even though I was expecting it. Could I do a better job with practice? Of course, but it shouldn't be as dangerous as it is for first-time users.

Third, my ladder arrived banged up, dented, and obviously repackaged, meaning someone else had already returned it and then Amazon sent it to me. Watch out, because I returned it, too, so you might get mine...sorry about the blood.

If you need a ladder to fit in a small space this one will do the job. Setting it up seems a bit of effort. Awesome Design.
