Would RecommendThis is a nice ladder to have on hand, God forbid there is a need for it. We appreciate the added length of the steps as they rest against the side of the house giving you a better foothold. We feel better knowing that in the event of a fire we have a way out of the second story. We hope to never have to utilize this ladder but feel safer having it on hand.

Seems good
Have not had to use fortunately, but compact box stored near window, seems well-constructed and durable, looks like it would be pretty stable against the side of the house in an emergency

Not Enough Information in Product Description
Would RecommendI 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. So I went ahead and bought it online and sadly, the part that hooks over the window sill was too narrow to fit over mine, so I had to return it. My window sill and window is 13 inches from the inside wall to the outside wall. My guess is you'd have to have about an 8-inch wide wall for this product to work...

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 RecommendThis 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.
