Louisville Ladder4-Foot Fiberglass Step Ladder, 225-Pound Load Capacity, Type II, FS4004

nice..

Very sturdy.

Perfect size for my needs. Sturdy yet light weight. Great ladder

It is rare that I rate with 5 stars, but I felt that this ladder was worth it. I'm 86 and a stable ladder is important to me.I had earlier purchased a similar-rated ladder from another well-known supplier but was sceptical of the quality. I weigh 215 lbs, so it was on the margin.The Louisville FS4004 fibreglass 4-foot ladder was clearly, more robustly-made and sturdier. Whilst the sides and rungs were of similar material, the extruded rungs were wider on the front and back The steel spreaders were thicker and wider and secured with a larger rivet. The rung bearings, both front and rear, were plastic, large and wide and contributed to good lateral support, which I could not say for the competitor, which used simple diagonal metal strips. The front and rear feet were large and made for larger footprint which contributed to a steadier stand.I couldn't find any Canadian supplier, so imported it myself. I paid $10 more than the 'other guy' but feel well-justified in doing so.

Louisville makes quality ladders, and this one is as light as they come in this weight category. The gripper feet are a nice feature along with the work space top. Some complaints about the lack of packaging are valid as mine came wrapped only in plastic, but there were no dents or damage. There were only a few minor imperfections, the type I would have made myself with normal use. Overall, a light weight, solid choice for the lowest cost I've seen.

The ladder arrived in a simple cardboard box and might have been damaged in shipment however I cannot see how it could be better. I like the riveted construction and steadiness of the ladder, on level ground there is no wobble. The shelf has open pockets to allowing you to hold tools there is just one thing and that is I wish it had a fold down shelf, thus only 4 stars. Note: it wasn't advertised with a fold down shelf I just would have liked it.

We needed this ladder in order to replace a ceiling light. I was skeptical about buying such a large, potentially heavy item on Amazon, but I was very pleasantly surprised! The whole process was easy, and the item arrived 100% intact, right on my door step!The ladder itself seems very sturdy and made the light installation a breeze. It's fairly light for its size, and we love the clever design of the top of the ladder, which has places to put tools and small items like screws.Overall, very pleased with our purchase!

I'm about five feet tall and this ladder is PERFECT for me. Lighweight but feels very sturdy. I bought to clean the ceiling in my rental and it worked perfectly. I've been wanting my own smaller, lighter ladder for years and this is the one! I hate having to always ask my husband to reach things. This makes me feel much more self-sufficient. :)
