I'm really impressed. It's sturdier than I expected. I got the 12.5ft one, and there wasn't much bowing at all. My guess is that bowing is more likely with the taller ladders this style. At 12.5 feet, no problem. I didn't love that the bottom was not flared for stability, but lots of ladders aren't. I'm honestly terrified of heights, so it's probably mostly in my head, but I was way more concerned about side-to-side vs if it could hold my weight. Remember, it's LIGHT. It has little mass to prevent side-to-side failures, so stay center; don't be lazy, move the ladder when you start reaching.
I weigh about 180 if I flatter myself a little :-D
Stores easy, fits in a sedan if I ever need to. Absolutely five stars for what I need it for.
