Too short...
I actually have another shorter seven step too, and that was not enough for my old place with a 3m ceiling... so I bought this and it was barely adequately... ideally I would like something taller.

I check other steps rivets.

From the front it looks ok.

But on the back, one is rusted (ready to break anytime), the other is missing.

So if you have an aluminum ladder, with pop rivets, please check before using.

Also any other stools, that you step on, please check. Wood may also rot and crack.

Where did you buy it?

I thinking of getting one for my MIL.

Your MIL will ask you to climb the ladder to change the bulb.

She will hold the ladder for you.

@jamesc better don't harbour this type of thoughts.  Later may end having to do mouth to mouth resuscitation to revive her.

Please lah don't give her any IDEAS.

You give her ideas and she will DO it.

You want this to happen to me?

Replaced all the steps pop rivets with new stainless steel bolts. Gave it a new lease of life.

Just asking again, in case anyone is looking for a 9 step ladder...

I've got an almost new one and I actually want to get something taller...

 

BTW, I notice that there aren't too many choices for the taller ones... those Hailo and the US ones aren't that tall....

This type long enough? Warning - it's not as sturdy, make sure someone assists to hold it.

Bro, not sure how you will be affected, but hope you are aware that aluminium should not be in contact with steel. It is well known that there will be accelerated galvanic corrosion of 1 of the metals. That may ironically make your ladder worse off in terms of safety.

 

In car construction, they have to use special techniques to electrically isolate the 2 metals if they need to be fixed together.

Thanks bro, I like the A Frame two sided ones (if the terminology is correct?)

I tried these and yep, they can slip... can't work solo so easily...
