Fiberglass Ladder

Werner 7308 375-Pound Duty Rating Type IAA Fiberglass Stepladder, 8-Foot Review

I confess I'm no lightweight, and the prospect of getting up on a flimsy household stepladder with a load of whatever in my arms was a little daunting. So when I went to look for a new one (The old one finally fell apart after years of heavy use, twisting sideways on an uneven floor as I reached up to hang a drapery rod, and then collapsing entirely.) I looked for the highest rated step-ladder I could find. And I found an amazingly sturdy, stable ladder in the Werner. I don't worry for a moment about standing on it, holding any sort of extra weight. I know that it will stay put and support me and whatever I'm holding.

Unfortunately it does have one drawback. The steps are so high that getting up to the second one without some sort of external support is very difficult. With two bad knees, it's just about impossible. Once you're up, no problem, but getting there is a major pain and I'm often reduced to using a kitchen chair as an intermediate step. I could wish there had been one extra step, or a grab bar at the top. But apart from this, I think the Werner is a superior product for the money.
