For the price this is a fairly good stair style pool ladder. I can no longer climb the ladder to get out of the pool so this style is my only option. I agree with others the rails are not the sturdiest so if you absolutely need them to get in and out look for something that’s more stable.. luckily I do not require them to get in/out yet. Assembly was pretty easy but definitely lost attention because some of the step pieces only have small differences and they are relevant. It did take what seemed like a lifetime to sink this thing (and assistance from two 10lb weights and a 9 y/o in the pool) so patience is key! Overall for the price I can’t complain. Most ladders on the market are only holding up for a couple of seasons anyway (especially in Ohio).

Very sturdy on the step platform , very easy to assemble! Our above ground pool is 4 feet deep and 20 ft across. The handrails aren’t extremely sturdy but does the job it was meant for. Also - I saw another post and knew they needed a weight with it. True - they WILL float without it. You can buy the weights that are made for it ( doesn’t come with it ) but we bought rubber covered hand weights and work like a champ. I would recommend these steps. Made a huge difference in entry and exit to the pool.

I bought this in Sept 2021 to have it ready for the 2022 season when I could get a deck built for the new pool. I’m glad I bought it when I did because inflation has caused the price to increase drastically, but even at the new cost it would be worth it not to have to climb that rickety a frame ladder. The box sat on my shed all winter I didn’t even check it out. Happily all the parts were included when I opened it in June 2022. It took about 15 minutes to put together. It only took that long because I didn’t bother to look at the directions and put a couple pieces in the wrong spot. I had read other reviews that said it needs to be weighted with sand, And it does. Instead of spending $100 on the special containers for it I saved some half gallon plastic milk jugs. I ordered 0.5 cbft bag of leveling sand. 1 bag filled 8 jugs. Leveling sand is more like fine gravel then sand. It is also wet in the bag. You will need a wide mouth funnel and an hour of patience to fill the jugs. I attached them with tie wraps to the inside bottom rungs of the stairs. Remember to open the caps slightly to let air out and fill with water to add additional weight. It worked great. They are secure and sturdy and now properly affixed to the deck. I am 275 lbs and 50yrs old, breaking a hip is not on my bucket list. The railings of the staircase are a bit flimsy and will easily come apart. I haven’t figured out how to fix that. Maybe caulking glue. But the stairs themselves are sturdy and wide and easily managed. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.

I was looking to get a set of pool steps this year so that me and my 72 yr old mom could more easily get in and out of our above ground pool. These steps have been perfect. They were easy to assembly. Easy to set up in the pool. They are light. So, yes! You will need something to weigh them down or they will float. No big deal!! I put a couple of concrete pavers on mine and that did the trick. I am going to change those out for sand bags though. The price is spot on. I built a small 4 x 4 deck that we could walk up and then use these steps to get into the pool. These steps have little arms that attached to the deck for extra security. Both me and my mom feel confident and safe utilizing these steps. I would highly recommend them for anyone who has mobility or balance issues and needs something other than those horrible steps that come with above ground pools. Those things are unsafe. In my opinion. These steps are a great option. I highly recommend. Thanks for reading.

Work well for my Coleman pool. Only issue the rails are so flimsy.

This ladder is great! The only complaint is if you choose to go the sand route to weigh it down, it takes forever to filter all the sand needed through the holes at the top of the stairs. Other than that these are great! So much easier getting in and out of the pool. Sturdy and easy to put together.

We were so excited to get these steps. They arrived and we waited to assemble them until the weather warmed. My husband put them together and the assembly out of the box was fairly easy....so far so good. Well summer took awhile so we anxiously waited for the warm weather to use our new steps-Day one! We put them in the pool..... and watched them float and bob......so we stood on them to fill with water- as it lifted from the bottom and bucked us off like a little pony!Out went the steps and back in went the ladder as we tried to figure out what to do-Sand won’t work as it leaches out the little holes- next try -Weight it down with nearly 80 lbs of weight and zip ties-Nope! As I sat on the steps and they gently rose from the depths again- sweetly tossing me back in the pool yet again.Can we return? Nope to late. So now we were determined that if we spent this much money on this floating death trap we were going to make it work.My husband got a small white garbage can that fit in the under section and zip tied it to the frame....Next! Fill the Kubota tractor with river rock- drive it to the pool- one by one fill the $@#*#% can with rocks to the brim (and it needed to be the the brim) as we cross our fingers it would work.Voila! The ladder actually doesn’t float!We secured it to the deck and now our fingers are crossed.The handrails are flimsy and while we like the ease of getting in and out on the strips we are also dreading anything possibly disrupting the steps- like grandkids actually using them as children do!I won’t even imagine trying to get them out.....I would not buy these again or recommend them- as much as I want steps and not a ladder there has to be something better.
