Pros & Cons
Pros
It's just perfect for the storage loft in my shed. The ladder is good and sturdy. It is so much nicer than our old one and quiet!
Works well. Anyway it is in, and operable. I hope this helps.
Cons
Advertised frame width is 22. Long hinge is unevenly nailed to the frame. Metal braces in the corners to strengthen the unit, but they were installed crooked as well.
The packaging is simply not there. It's my own fault for not opening the box before the return window expired. If you do order it make sure to inspect it on day one keeping the packaging to facilitate returning it it by return freight.

It came with the very cheap cardboard cover broken.
Price
It is a good ladder for the price.
I would likely pay the extra cost in the future to get the metal one in the future if i needed another ladder somewhere.
Shipping
The ladder was delivered quickly and in good shape.
The first ladder was damaged in shipment.
Packaging/appearance
The box it came in looked like it had just been removed from a shelf.
Maybe the manufacturer could do better at more secure packaging in the event fedex can’t get their act together.

We have a multilevel attic and the original builder did not open an easy access to the top attic level

Opening and closing the old ladder was a real chore partly because you have to reach so high to the ladder but also because the wooden ladder was so heavy

So i decided to replace the old wooden ladder with this ladder

Unfortunately i had to hire 2 handymen to do it because i couldnt do it myself and they dont allow you to help them due to liability

When you open the ladder it stays open and does not try to close due to a spring like the old ladder

The same goes for folding it back and closing it up

All the videos that ive watched about installing attic ladders are missing the fact that you might end up having to cut into your joist running perpendicular which takes an hour or two longer to install either blocking and then again your perpendicular framing the other problem that ive consistently run into is having to move electrical conduits air conditioning ducks water lines and and other unknown hidden items if you do hire a contractor to perform this work you wanna make sure that he is allpurpose otherwise you will end up having to wait fora air conditioning guy and or a plumber and or a electrician whereas originally you were just looking for a carpenter with experience in hanging drywall i am telling you this from experience i have never run into a situation where i could just cut a holeframe it and install a ladder theres always beenutilities in the way
