Query: very sturdy

this is a well balanced and very sturdy ladder. the hand rail at the top is quite helpfull. The 4 star rating reflects the one drawback which is weight. Pretty heavy to me "a guy age 56". Also it's opening mechanism can be somewhat cumbersome. The stability this ladder gives the user is a fair trade off to the weight issue. I would buy it again, but it's not my first ladder to pull out of the storage area to do a quick task or reach a 9' shelf.
