HBTower5 Step Ladder with Handrails, Folding Step Stool Portable Steel Ladder for Adults for Home Kitchen Library Office, White

Nice solid step ladder. Very Easy to put together. Because it is solid and large, it is heavy to move and bulky to store. It's manageable but would not want to carry it up and down stairs regularly. I'm a woman in my 50s and in a few years might be difficult to move around on my own but that's the tradeoff for a solid, safer feeling step ladder.

This ladder should not be sold due to the tubular construction being too thin it wobbles. I am only 146 pounds.

For those of us getting up in years, this is a ladder that feels safer because of the handle bars and wide steps. Our kitchen has some high cabinets, and my husband always had to drag the old tall ladder out of the garage into the house, and I would practically have a heart attack every time he climbed up to get something for me out of the upper cabinets. Now, I’m able to use this ladder myself - it’s just the right height to reach our high items- and I feel secure with the handlebars to hold on to. I recommend this ladder for increased safety- but still proceed slowly and with caution.

This ladder is so incredibly useful! I can now finally reach the high cabinets that are sooo high I can't even reach them from a tall stepstool. The very top of these cupboards can now display things I like to look at. I even used this to hang Christmas lights where I couldn't reach before I had this ladder. It is heavier than the aluminum ladders on the market, but I can easily "walk" it around on the legs. It folds up and has handle rails that can be attached or removed as you desire. The steps are sturdy and have tread on them. I feel SAFE on this. I never felt safe on the other ladder. It was ridiculously easy to put together...the pieces slip together and the handrails use 4 screws total..and that's it. A senior can do this easily, I'm sure. The bar on the top is great to use for balance if standing on one of the top 2 steps and also great for a hand grip. I highly recommend this ladder if you need something sturdy and that feels si much safer than other ladders.

The ladder issturdy, with nice, wide steps that fit my whole foot. When I first assembled it and tried it for the first time, I nearly pulled it over by using the handles. The handles made my the center of gravity too far back. I removed the handles so my hands grasp the front rail on the steps. This was enough to make it very stable. The height is good, and with the tall front handle railing, I feel pretty secure even on the upper steps.

Great ladder! I was able to put it together all by myself….it would be a bit easier to have had another person to hold the handrail steady as I was putting in and mating the screws, but it can be done alone. Love having the handrails for me as I’m getting older. And yes, I can reach my smoke detectors in the 10’ ceilings. The top shelf is perfect for tools, paint cans, tray insets for nuts, screws and other small parts, holes to place screwdriver, hammer, drill, etc. A fine product.

I need to use it every day to access clothing in my sole closet. It's easy to expand and collapse, and feels very sturdy.

The size specs were accurate, but it was clearly mass produced without a lot of quality control. The holes for the screws on one of the handles were warped so the screws wouldn’t fit them. I decided to just leave it off since the ladder itself was the size I wanted. Doubt I’ll use it without someone else around because it doesn’t seem all that stable. Also this was delivered via USPS instead of Amazon so it took 5 days to arrive and was left in the lobby of my condo instead of at my door. I had to lug it up myself.
