Should I Buy It?

  • Need to add weights as the ladder floats without them!!
Very sturdy, comes in two packages. Assembly was relatively easy. Stairs outside could have a better way to secure them so little ones can't access them or lift them. Wide interior steps makes it easy for toddler to stand on (adults too)! Order additional weights as the bags that came wuth the ladder are flimsy. Weights from the company (additional purchase) are very sturdy and worth purchasing!! ... show more

  • Quality and Return Process
I was very excited to receive this product. I had to watch YouTube videos to put it together, because the instructions sent are horrible. After finally getting it together I realized it is HORRIBLE design. The four steps have to be weighed down. They provide large ziplock bags to put sand in. After doing that and trying to use the steps the bags fall off of the ledge and knock the bottom two steps off. The steps are wobbly (the bottom of the pool is not unlevel). The outside ladder do not attach to the four steps inside. They are supposed to sit on top of the wobbly steps. They obviously do not. I decided to return the product. I do not have the original boxes at this point. Good luck finding a boxes large enough to return the item. I was provided one UPS label. I had the items packed in three large mini refrigerator boxes. The one label was insufficient. So I contacted the seller. The seller then provided one additional shipping label for FedEx. That was obviously a problem. So I contacted the seller again. They then provide an additional FedEx label. So I now have the items shoved in two boxes. Due to the size of these items the boxes are misshapen, and FedEx will not accept the boxes because they are not stackable. I contact the seller to get UPS labels and I am informed that they cannot provide UPS labels. Their advice is to go to a grocery store or retail store and get boxes. I do not know where they think I am supposed to get boxes large enough to ship this back, if two mini refrigerator boxes won't fit it. I should have kept the boxes it came in yes but because I did not I am now stuck with a very expensive ladder that is crap. All of this to say DO NOT buy this item and if you do be sure to keep the original boxes to ship the horrible ladder back. ... show more

  • Not real impressed
First of all, it was very difficult to put together. Things do not line up so I hope you are strong enough to hold the pieces with all of your might while you use the rubber Mallot. Second of all, steps 2 and 3 are flimsy. It feels like you are going to break them when you step on them. There needs to be a brace of some sort under those steps. There should also be places to put a screw in for each piece you have to put together with the rubber Mallot. I used a drill bit to make my own holes for additional screws. Honestly, this is way overpriced. I doubt it will last throughout the rest of the summer. I wanted something easier for the older people who swim in my pool to get in and out but I worry about their safety as much as the ladder that came with the pool as this ladder. This ladder should not cost more than $175.00 in my opinion. I’m not real happy with this purchase. I would send it back, but it’s already together. ... show more

  • Not what I hoped, forthe price.
Not happy with these, to be honest. Especially as much as we paid. We gave them a fair try and used them for a few months. They were easy to put together. We originally did not receive the 2nd carton so we had to wait for it to be shipped to be able to put these together and use. The 2nd piece somehow never made it out of their warehouse. Now, I *will* give the company an excellent customer service rating. They were responsive, apologetic and quick to fix their error. That i do appreciate and I dealt with only good people. I will definitely give them that. That being said, these seriously under-perform for the price. Steps going in are not spaced well. They are too far apart. I am above average height at 5'7" and have to really stretch to reach the next step. It's not sturdy at all--it's wobbly, and there's nothing to do about it if you don't have a deck. If you have a deck they're attached to, you may not have this problem. But freestanding, even with 100lbs of sand blocks on them inside the pool, they are wobbly. There is only enough room to use two of the square plastic sand weights, and it's not enough. I personally felt safer on the regular ladder that comes with the pool, but we got these because I need double knee replacement. They are not as strong as they claim to be, either. At 75 lbs under the listed weight limit you wouldn't expect the plastic to bow downward as you step on each part. It's actually quite scary between the wobble and the plastic seeming weak. Will it break? I don't know, but it sure seems weak and I would not want to be 75 lbs heavier and step on it. Being in the sunlight i don't expect the plastic to improve-we all know it only gets worse. We would not buy again, even at half price. And I REALLY wanted these to work. I NEEDED them to work. Keep these things in mind if debating hard on whether or not to buy. Even if you only weigh 100 lbs and have a deck to attach them to, you're still going to have problems reaching the next step. I'm still sad they're not great because I don't think there's something better. ... show more
