This review is from: Werner W2208 250-Pound Wood 8-Foot Folding Access Ladder (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this ladder for a "sleeping loft" above my home office. The office ceiling is only 8ft high and my husband and I didn't have any experience with folding access ladders so we weren't sure if they could be altered to fit the height we needed. Once again, Amazon.com made my purchase easy with both rating/reviews and their return policy.

This ladder fit perfectly with a small adjustment to shorten the length and installation was pretty straightforward and simple. No assembly needed for the ladder, the whole thing is framed in just like a door or window. The width is a little narrow on the steps as well as overall so lugging large items up and down these stairs would be difficult but for simple access to a loft, as in our setup, it works great. Also, the unfinished wood stairs had a couple of loose steps that could slip out from their notched siderails but that was remedied with some wood glue and a couple of screws. The stairs themselves will look very nice when I stain them to match the wood trim in the rest of the house. The pull cord was flimsy so we made a retrofit to accomodate our frequent use of the stairs. Overall, we are happy with this item and the loss of one star is only because of the loose steps.

As for Amazon.com -- I rate them a 10-star company and first source for everything I can't buy locally. Keep up the good work Amazon!

2.0 out of 5 stars LADDER OFF BALANCE FROM USAGE, June 2, 2003

By 

BADDAD (LANHAM, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Werner W2210 250-Pound Duty Rating Wood Folding Attic Ladder, 10-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

WERNER USES A COUNTER BALANCE WER-55-1 FOR ALL ITS FOLDING ACCESS ATTIC LADDERS. BECAUSE THE COUNTER BALANCE IS TO ASSIST THE LADDER AS IT IS EXTENDED, THE MAKEUP OF THE MECHANISM (ALUMINUM) IS THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANISM BENDS AND ONCE THAT OCCURS REPLACING THE MECHANISM IS A PROBLEM. THE MECHANISM IS RIVETTED ONTO THE LADDERS FRAME AND THE RIVET(S) MUST BE DRILLED OUT. THIS MUST BE DONE OR YOU ARE FACED WITH REPLACING THE ENTIRE LADDER. GOOD LUCK.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy the Wider One Instead, October 30, 2006

This review is from: Werner W2210 250-Pound Duty Rating Wood Folding Attic Ladder, 10-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

I just finished installing this 22 1/2" wide ladder. The installation went fine for the most part. It had a handrail near the top which interefered with the spring mechanism during opening, but the handrail was useless so I removed it. But most of all, I really wish that I had bought the 25" unit (Werner part number W2510). This one has only 17" of space between the springs at the narrowest point near the top, not enough for my shoulders, let alone trying to carry something.
