I have been using the ladder over the last few weeks. A trapezoid picture window in my house was converted to a rectangular one, requiring me to apply a joint compound over the new window which is above a lower window. The ladder has been indispensable. First, I can adjust the ladder to the height needed. Second, the rubber pad on the middle of the top rung allowed me to safely and securely place the ladder against a textured wall without damaging the wall. Lastly, the rubber feet gripped the luxury vinyl floor quite well, as I had no ladder slippage. The only small downside, is that the rungs are space a bit far apart, so a person of a smaller stature may want to be more careful.
