I use the ladder both for hanging up decorations on my ceiling and for reaching the very back of the absurdly high cabinets in my kitchen. My entire apartment has hardwood flooring so I’m not sure how it holds up on carpet but the ladder feels very sturdy under my feet. It’s also lightweight enough to be easily moved from one side of the room to the other. It folds up well and can be stored away in a closet without issue. As an added bonus, my cats love running up and down it and as a result, they’ve adopted it as their new cat tree haha
