Not Enough Information in Product Description

Would Recommend

I couldn't actually look at one, because it was not available at my Lowes. The product description did not include the width of the window sill it would fit over.

Peace of mind

We purchased this product as our bedroom has two egresses but one is a patio with no way to the lower floor/ground. Should we ever need it we can safely evacuate and have the peace of mind we have safe options to get to safety.

Easy open box, fast set up

Would Recommend

This shipped fast. The box is great because it opens quickly and the ladder is immediately ready to pull out. There's no special prep or set up. I was able to put one in all the second floor rooms in my house.
