Played with it after gett8ng it...here's what I noticed. Needs wd40 to loosen pull tabs....no biggie....spray hinges as well....that's it. It's a beast. It folds down neatly...and has the sturdiness to hold weight. I stood on it...wobbled on purpose to see if u could make the ladder shake....it didn't dlbudge.....I'm am happy. DIYRs unite!
