Home Vida3 Step Ladder with Safety Handrail, Heavy Duty Steel, Portable Folding, Anti-Slip Mat, Home, Kitchen, DIY, Gardening Step Ladder, 150kg Max Capacity

Alas I am no longer of an age when I can run up and down ladders without a care, or hop onto a stool to change a light bulb. This safety ladder is reassuringly solid in build and well-designed and helps me to function above floor level. The ladder arrives flat and is assembled except for the side rails which you have to attach with four screws-washers-cap nuts. (No spares are supplied so doan drop any!)When complete and standing, the ladder takes up less floor space than expected so it could be used even in a small or crowded room. I feel safe when standing on it, even on the top rung, and that’s the whole point of it really. The ladder is easy to fold away, but because of the side rails it cannot be stored absolutely flat. Leaning on a wall it sticks out 11 inches (call it a foot). Elderly or disabled persons please be aware that the ladder is no lightweight, it weighs 8 kilograms.

Very well put together indoor stepladder . Very functional , slip resistant , came fully assembled , not really foldable , but does ‘ fold together ‘ as such - but not in half , obviously ! We are very pleased with this purchase , the ladder is not flimsy or light - quite the opposite in fact / it is very supportive

These were a lot heavier than I expected and taller when closed meaning I've had to find an alternative area to store them, I am reasonably pleased with them as they give a good firm footing, the top handle bar is great and makes me feel safe, however I've not been able to attach the hand rails as one of the screw/bolts hasn't been bored out, the spanner supplied is totally useless, I find trying to attach the rail difficult as my fingers having arthritis I can't hold the things in place while trying to tighten things up so had to leave it off, I think, I hope by leaving them off won't cause me problems as I still have the steps and top rail I can hold onto.

Easy to add handles and feels safe when I'm use.

Didn't take 2 minutes to put hand rails on,my partner tried them out to reach top of kitchen cupboards and managed comfortably and easily.Very stable,excellent.

Wonderful. My lights are inset in the ceiling and I dreaded one of them failing, as I find it hard to stretch up, and my balance isn't good. Last time I had to ask a neighbour to do it.Then I saw these steps. They are quite heavy, but not ridiculously so, but enough to feel secure. The treads are big and grippy rubber, room for both feet with comfort. Best of all, I can lean forwards against the top rail, which makes me feel very secure.Since they arrived I've changed two bulbs in around five minutes, instead of having to pluck up courage to try to reach from a chair (and then giving up and asking for help!). Some commented they are bulky to store. I'm fine - it goes in the spare bedroom, behind the door. Not visible, and the door doesn't open all the way, but it's still good, easily enough space to get into the room.Finally, if you are unsteady or nervous I'd recommend the four-step one. Though I only went on to the second step to change my lights, it was reassuring to lean forwards against the bar.

Excellent stepladder. Very sturdy and well made. However, although well packaged, when unwrapped one of the handles had missing paint down to the bare metal in three places. No sign of missing paint in packaging, so can only assume this damage was done before it was wrapped after manufacture.

I spent ages looking for steps. I have terrible balance, am disabled and seriously ill, and needed to get up higher for various jobs, but have no balance, as mentioned, no strength, and basically shake like nobody's business when I'm up a ladder, even if I actually manage to get up one. So needed something I could actually get up, and something I could stay up, even if for short amounts of time.These steps are excellent. The steps themselves are extra wide and have very 'grippy' steps of rubber, so extra non slip, and the side rails and top rail give you something to grip when you are up them. The first major pain in the backside I had to tackle alone was a trellis that had been fitted years ago above my front door way above any height I could easily reach, that had become worn and needed painting, but was inaccessible, but with steps up to my front door, and being alone, I needed a secure set of steps I could get up alone, whilst holding a paintbrush, and being able to hold onto the safety rails. With these steps, and having my paint balanced on my wheelie bin next to me I was able to manage this, even managing to stand on the top step with ease, and still hold on to the top rail.The steps feel totally secure, and due to weight fluctuation from Cushing's disease I am currently 18 stone, so that should give you an idea of the weight they can handle and still feel secure. I was still shaking, but the steps didn't move at all, so I didn't feel unsafe on them, plus with the safety rails and the rail at the top, you really feel you have something to hold on to that is totally secure. The steps are also wide and secure enough that you don't feel like you need to reach 'ground' to feel the feeling of safety like you do if you feel scared on a normal ladder.I previously used one of those multi functional ladders that open out to a platform with the metal plates that lay across the rungs, which I borrowed from a friend, as a test before considering buying one of my own, and have to say that this feels so much more secure than one of those ever did, and this stepladder was also much much cheaper than I would have paid for one of those. So in all I would say this is a star buy, and I am very pleased I went with this type of ladder, and this particular item. I can see many uses for this item already, and feel confident in using it, whereas I have been putting off doing jobs using the ladder I borrowed from my friend, because I just didn't feel comfortable or safe using it.I would definitely recommend this ladder, and it was also easy to assemble with only the side rails needing attaching. The only reason I've only given it 4 stars for durability is I can't really comment on that given I've only just purchased it.
