Pros: versatile but solid
"The ladder feels steady in use. The hinges lock very positively when unfolding the ladder but pass the lock positions when returning to the storage position easing changes to the configuration."

"Purchased online in a hurry to carry out unplanned DIY work in son's flat! Delivery was spot-on. The only ladder which had both the reach needed and the ability to be packed it away where space is limited. Superior to the similar products offered by B&Q and Screwfix. It is also surprisingly light to carry."

Pros: very sturdy and well mad
Cons: heavy, feet too wide for use on the stairs
"These are a good set of ladders, the feet are a little wide but this does help with the stability, they are very heavy but if you are just using them around the house they are ideal, however this does make you feel more secure when climbing them as you feel they are very sturdy"

Pros: very good value
Cons: locking mechanisms a little tricky initially
"Really versatile ladder. I can use it as a platform for cutting hedges etc, as a loft ladder or a longer ladder. I am surprised how many of the reviewers complain about the weight. I am an 8st 10lb woman and find it quite manageable. It does take a little while to get the hang of the unlocking mechanisms and the order to use them - but it's not a huge problem."

Pros: well made
Cons: appears longer than it is
"Well made and strong, but heavy and not as long as it sounds-working height is NOT ladder length.
Worst prob was stand-off ladder use is for a single story sloping roof, it does not reach my ordinary single story extension."

"good quality ladder which can extends to 3.72m. Down side is a little heavy and oily due to the heavier metal, strength and 3 large click-stopped hinges. Would recommend this as it is safe to use and easy to fold."

"I got this ladder for decorating our very high stairs,
sturdy and felt very comfortable while painting.
Only drawback is; erecting the ladder can be a pain if space is tight. Overrule a great and handy ladder- Good price as well."

Pros: strength
Cons: there's a knack to unfastening the catches
"Really strong ladder . Catches are a bit fiddly to use but everything locks very positively in place so it inspires confidence when you use it. Fairly heavy but that is a small price to pay for strength and durability. Folds up quite small and fits in the boot no problem. Note this cannot be used as a high platform, just incase you had that idea in mind."

Pros: very sturdy ladders, good safety catches
Cons: none
"i bought this ladder primarily to remove the wallpaper and re decorate my high staircase.
the ladder did the job great in being able to lean against the wall while the base was wedged against the stairs.
the qaulity is far better than i expected for the price. these are a really sturdy set of ladders and feel very solid when working on them.
this is very reasuring if like me youre not too keen on working on a ladder."

Pros: compact, versatile
Cons: uncomfortable to stand on
"This space saver folds into a very compact size for easy storage. This is a very useful feature if you are London where space is at a premium. You can also bend it into various shapes. Since is needs to take a number of different places th rungs on the ladder have a narrow round cross section. It make is very uncomfortable to stand of for a long period of time because your entire body weight is concentrated on a small area of your foot. Hence it is only good for quick jobs."

Pros: good quality, good price
"I thought this ladder might be a bit too clever for it's own good at this price but it really is a bargain. Sturdy, easy to manipulate and small to store.
A lot of people mention the weight but in context of how long the ladder is, I don't find it heavy - I think it just seems heavy because it folds so small."

"I had to replace my old "A"-frame ladder and wanted something that could be used indoors and outside. This item seemed to meet my requirements at a good price. Am I glad I looked at the Wickes site. The ladder is so versatile, it will go anywhere - and most importantly - it's rock solid and feels very safe."

the biggest drawback is that it is far too heavy

the description. I am now having to dispose of
it and buy a lighter one."

Pros: well constructed, good value
Cons: on the heavy side
"At the time I bought this item it was actually more expensive ‘in store’ than buying on line with next day delivery.
The item is very soundly constructed and provides good stability in use. Compact, but it’s no featherweight.
There are several more expensive and poorer quality units on the market. This Wickes product is in my opinion well worth the money."
