What reviewers didn't like

Top platform is sharp. When on rungs your knees may hit the sharp edges
The assembly might be difficult
Top step is only 45 inches from the ground
So tall it can be hard to store and expensive
We don’t feel it’s worth sacrificing a tool tray or a fiberglass build.
The narrow top tray, handle, and feet are all plastic.

Expensive compared to other stepladders
It doesn't lock when collapsed
