It is a very nice, good-looking, lightweight, yet sturdy ladder. It would have been 5 stars, if it was taller. The last full step on which you can stand with both feet is not even a foot taller than my 4 step very heavy Home Depot ladder that I had for years and was trying to upgrade with this one. Yes, you can also use the very very top narrow bar (a sort of step, but not really)) which is 6 feet tall, but it can only be used for a second while trying to pull up with both hands to a higher area, such as an attic or roof. I would not recommend standing on it any longer than a few seconds and even then with both hands fully grabbing some sturdy object above - it is too narrow, and potentially slippery - you can't work at this height for any period of time. I think I will still keep it, as it is easier to carry around and still an improvement over my old one, unless I can find a taller one within the return window
