Strong and StableI bought the five step ladder to reach the top of my extra high kitchen cabinets, where I would be ascending and descending with china in my hands. It is very strong and stable, The pitch and depth of the stairs makes it easy to move up and down. And best of all, it folds quite flat and is very light. Excellent product. Get rid of your old ladder and buy this one.

Best Household Ladder EverSafe, flexible, sturdy. Having a well made ladder with safety handle is a must for homeowner. I use it everywhere inside my home. Folds up easily, compact and it stands up by itself. Well worth the money. NEVER buy a cheap underrated ladder for your home.....This one is by far the best..

Polder 5 Step LadderThis a very high quality step ladder. It is extremely well built, is light weight because of it's aluminum construction. It is the sturdiest, most stable 5 step ladder I have ever owned. It folds flat for easy storage. I would highly recommend this ladder to any friend or family member. These are a little higher priced than similar ladders of it's configuration, but worth every penny.

Just what I've been looking for!This 3-step ladder is perfect, i.e., light weight, sturdy, safe, easy to store, and the right height. The top portion of the ladder gives you the security you need by leaning your body against it, leaving your hands free to do things. Well engineered!

High Reach DependableWe recently moved to a new condo with very high cabinets. A step stool couldn't do the job. This ladder is light-weight, easy to maneuver and the handle makes me feel very secure. Good buy for our new house.

A little bit differentI have a ladder from 10+ years ago purchased at CS. The brand was Leifheit. It is wonderful and very lightweight. I bought this new ladder to use in the garage. It is heavier than the first ladder but my husband says it's great. We are both happy.

LIGHT WEIGHT, Portable!I love this ladder. I have all 3 sizes. Just got the tallest one. Sturdy enough to climb us feeling safe but super portable. We are using it constantly at home and for my son's Eagle project.

LightweightExcellent product, well made. I’m in my late 60’s and petite and the 3 step and 5 step, I have both, are very easy to carry and stow away. I especially like that I can hold onto the handle as I climb feeling very secure on the ladder. My husband ( 200lbs) uses the 5 step for a variety of around the house jobs. Would recommend .

Short SuccessWas working in a home with 50ft high ceilings and a lot of open space. Easy to move around and the additional two steps a help in added height. I loved using this so much I had to know where purchased and bought for my home even though I don't have 50ft ceilings. I can't say enough about this light weight ladder.

5 Step ladder - good quality, lightweightI am very happy with this 5-step ladder. I already have a 3 step one and it is fine for most things. We have high ceilings in our house, though, and it's just not enough for some applications. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the ladder and it is very lightweight for as large and well made as it is. No more countertop surfing - I'm getting too old for that! Thanks for offering so many handy and well-made products. I'll be back!

3-step ladderThis is the best small step ladder I've ever owned--lightweight, sturdy, and with a tall "grab-bar" for safety. One of my favorite things about this ladder that I haven't seen mentioned is that when it's collapsed for storage it will stand upright on its own.

Great PurchasePurchased 5-step Aluminium Ladder and was so very pleased. Is lightweight but feels very sturdy. Bought to replace recessed ceiling lights which I could not reach with smaller ladders and the extra top handrail is wonderful to give you the confidence to climb higher. I would definitely recommend this ladder and The Container Store.

5-step ladder is greatSo much easier to use than my old aluminum ladder. I wanted one that is lightweight and easy to close without smashing your fingers. This is it. Very easy to open and close and the steps are plenty wide. Very satisfied with this purchase. So much so, that I just ordered the 3-step ladder as well!

Trade in your old ladders!The best of the best. Wide steps, light weight and easy to handle. You feel secure and you can even lean on the front. I now have two of the five step ladder and one of the three step.
You won't be sorry...

Great Ladder, but BEWARE...This is a great ladder - it is light-weight and sturdy. It has one big flaw...plastic feet. They slide on wood floors. If you are standing on the ladder and pushing against something (e.g., cleaning a wall), the ladder will move under you, even with your weight on it. Scary. It works well on carpet, though.

Fantastic Ladder!I LOVE this ladder! It is so easy to climb and very secure/solid. I can reach to high areas in my house - even with 10 foot ceilings (and no help from hubby!) I especially like being able to reach high up into closets with the all the ELFA shelves I installed all the way to the top.

Extremely lightweightGot the 3 step ladder, and it's great. Can be easily moved around with one hand and folds up very easily into a small space. Top step is wide enough to balance on. Love it, great buy. Thinking of getting a second.

SO light and easy to carry aroundI love this ladder... finally a ladder with some height that I can carry around and use... it does cause some deceiving confidence... it is light, so you have to not get overly confident and stand on the top where you aren't mean to .... but nothing better for a house.. and i use it to reach the very top of my Elfa closet :-)

No longer ladder-phobicI bought this about a month ago, and I'm very pleased with it. It's lightweight, so I can carry it easily to wherever I need it.
For me, the best part is the long handrail. I don't like heights--and I particularly don't like climbing ladders. But I can HOLD ON when I must reach something on the top shelf or the planters at the top of my patio enclosure.
Very reasonably priced.
Whatcis the depth of these ladders when folded up?
Trying to figure out if these are as flat as other slimline step ladders which fold flat to 1.5-2" in depth for storage next to refrigerator

What are their weight limits?
Asked by: CRazy4U
I weigh about 255 lbs. and don't feel unsafe at all on the 5 step ladder. It's easy to hold on to and get up high. We have 10 ft. ceilings and I'm only 5'7", so this is by far the best I've found for indoor use. It's lightweight and can hang from the end of an Elfa Shelf.

My husband weighs 250. Any thoughts on using this despite the recommended 225 weight limit?
Asked by: birdfeeder
We recommend the ladder only to be used by those under the 225 weight limit. We recommend using our Easy Folding Step Stool that has a higher weight limit.
