Little Giant Ladders, Sure Step, 3-Step, Double-Sided Step Stool, Fiberglass, (11953), Type 1AA, 375 lbs Weight Rating, Hi-viz Green

I was so worried it might not arrive. It came one day late with footprints. I'm so happy Amazon took time to wrap it in a plain box. We waited for it on delivery day. It looked like a small refrigerator box. I'll add the lesser known reasons why it's AWESOME. It's double-sided standing for one person or two. Remember those Christmas lights and that tree? That's you hanging it up high. Folded, it's completely self-standing. It didn't fall down even after purposely jiggling from side-to-side. Folded, the highest point is the hinge in the very top step at 28.5 inches tall. Only the fiberglass is non-conductive. The steps are metal - ok, electricians?! It makes a nice seat. It's small enough to fit inside mini-cars and EVs with room to spare. We own a mid-size SUV. At 5ft-4 inches tall, a family member stood flat-footed on the 2nd step and easily placed the palm of her hand flat against the 8-ft ceiling. So, the maximum height rating of 8ft - 8 inches applies to short people. Also, she doesn't weigh anywhere near 375 lbs. (170 kg) which is the max weight. Meanwhile, I don't know anybody 6ft-6 who needs a ladder to reach 8ft-8 inch (2.6M) ceiling. Door frames are 6ft-5. Total ladder thickness is 7.5 inches (20 cm). Can't store this behind any door. The ladder itself weighs about 11 lbs. It's sturdy and "industrial grade." Our little dog weighs 15 lbs., is sensitive and "lap" grade...watches tv too. Both are easily held with one arm. There are two downsides to this ladder after price. (1). It's not possible to maintain 3 points of contact using it in commercial settings. Fortunately, it's just an OSHA recommendation. (2). Worry this ladder will not arrive at all. With or without footprints, everyone will want this ladder. From delivery drivers to warehouses to DIY-neighbors. No way we're keeping this stored in our garage. They'll have to come inside the house and try to get it for free. I spent weeks looking at ladders. Then, trying to justify the price of this one. As soon as I saw it - SOLD! Sadly, Amazon also increased price $50 - yikes!

Most commercial construction sites won't allow this type of ladder, despite it being rated to use the top step as a platform. But for home use, when you don't want to haul a 6-foot ladder around the house, this is perfect, and far safer than the kitchen-style step stool made of stamped steel. Safer, because the legs are made of non-conductive fiberglass, because it has large grippy rubber feet, and because it has a sufficient weight rating for even a larger adult with a heavy tool belt to use safely. I particularly like how the ladder quickly flops shut when picked up from the top, meaning no extra steps to move from one area to the next. I use this for hanging pictures or decorations, changing light bulbs in the few fixtures I can't reach from the ground, and taking down battery powered security cameras for charging. All of those tasks are considerably easier with a small step ladder than they would be with something larger.

The latter is nice but the plastic at the top that holds it together is cheap and cracks easily mine was already starting to crack the day it arrived and already getting worse.

Great step ladder! Sturdy, and folds easy for storage.

My work takes me in homes all day. Im a shorter guy so reaching ceilings and such is just out of my reach. However, homes are often filled with things and a six foot ladder is too cumbersome. This ladder gives me just the boost I need and gets there with ease. When picked up from the inside of the top rungs, it folds into a nice shape making for easy handling (making it super nice to bring into a home past furniture and decor) and storage (collapses to something like 3ft x 2ft x 10in) It’s rated for 375 but feels like it would hold a lot more. The rubber feet seem really grippy. I often use the ladder folded and leaned up against a wall. Despite the varied slippery surfaces I’ve been on, these feet feel stuck where they are put. I couldn’t be more satisfied.

This ladder is the greatest for painting projects. We had used one borrowed from a friend . So we decided we had to have one.

I have had this ladder for a year. I literally only use it to change my AC filter in my ceiling, so i've only used it maybe 7 times. It's stored in a climate controlled closet. I didn't realize that the plastic pieces in the corners were what gave it it's "structural integrity". I noticed the cracks a while ago but didn't realize that it was failing. I used it yesterday only to fall straight through. This is not a safe or durable product, which is unfortunate because i thoroughly enjoy my actual little giant ladder.

I needed a double sided 2 m-step ladder for drywall use and this little guy was perfect while it lasted. I used it for about two months till I stepped on the top of it one day and it cracked and nearly collapsed. I contacted LG directly and they honored a replacement via their warranty program. I should be receiving the new ladder next week and hopefully it lasts longer than 2 months. FWIW I weigh 170lbs and took good care of the ladder while I had it.
