This ladder is very sturdy and safe climbing up and down even with your hands full of dishes, food, or cookware. The extended top bar makes you feel very secure when on the top rung. The steps are not huge, but wide and deep enough to stand on comfortably.
The padded handle is nice to hold onto when moving it to where it's needed, climbing up it, and to lean against while standing on the ladder. With an useful handgrip, it is easy for you to climb and carry the ladder. The handgrip also gives dual protection while you are standing on the top pedal for working. Anti-slip rubber make it easy for you to hold and grasp the ladder.
Compared with most traditional stepladders, ours are more safe and stable.
