For years we searched for a sturdy 4-step ladder to use in our house. We came across this one and purchased it because of all of the positive reviews and the fact that it had a shelf at the top where you could lay items on, lightbulbs, cleaning rags etc. etc. The only reason we are not giving it a 5-star review is because the description on the greatofferstock.com website was incorrect. Unfortunately we have owned it for over year and I can't remember exactly what the weight limitation was. I believe it's stated 300 pounds max but when we received it the label on the ladder from the manufacture stated 200 pounds. Again, I can't remember the weight limit that Great Offer Stock had listed in their description but the label on the ladder stated considerably less. We did not call customer service because the difference in weight was not a big issue for us and the ladder is extremely well-built, extremely sturdy. We have recommended this ladder to friends and they did purchase it from Great Offer Stock also and too are very happy with it. Why would anyone spend $200 or $300 for this ladder when you can purchase it from greatofferstock.com for a lot less........
