The ladder meets the basic needs for reaching high spaces, such as rooftops, without causing major complication in terms of usage and storage. However, the ladder's design presents safety concerns, particularly regarding the spacing of the rungs. Customers have reported that the steps are significantly farther apart compared to traditional extension ladders, causing discomfort and a sense of insecurity during climbing, especially at higher elevations. Some users have experienced dangerous situations, with reports of falls due to the challenging ascent posed by the rung spacing. Additionally, while some users suggest that the ladder is fine for lower heights, they strongly advise against using it for heights greater than 10 feet without assistance, reinforcing the notion that this product may not be best suited for solo users or those not in peak physical condition. Overall, while the telescoping ladder has its strengths in portability and storage capabilities, Prospective buyers should evaluate safety concerns closely, particularly regarding the rung distance and usability at greater heights. **
