Review: A real improvement over pool ladders! - We've had our above ground pool for 4 years and have used the ladder that came with it and a $250. ladder we later purchased. Both felt felt un-steady to us. So, we bought this $1,200. stair system and we are glad we did! It came in 4 boxes over 5 days time. Nothing was missing, well packed. A bit time consuming to put together but then again, we are a couple in our mid-seventies. Some instruction pictures were a little hard to see and the videos suggested didn't match exactly. But we figured it out without too much stress. (Taking a occasional break helped!) We followed the directions completely including the adding of sand, which we weighed to be sure we had the correct amount. When using a power drill to insert the screws, be careful not to go too deep - slow and steady will pay off. We did ask a couple of young neighbors to set it in the water for us. Make no mistake, this is not fine furniture. It is molded plastic. But that said, it looks right at home with our pool. Once together, it is sturdy and feels so much safer than our previous ladders. There is no movement either in the water or on the concrete. The steps flex a bit but not enought to cause concern. The hand rails are steady with very little play. The steps are steep but an appropriate balance of space and usefulness. The gate works fine with very little sag. All in all, and considering the $250. ladder we used for 2 seasons, this system is well worth the cost.
Review: Perfect! - Really well designed! Some people have mentioned it floating and having to add sand filled PVC for weight... It's designed to pour sand into the frame once you have it in the pool; that is what weights it. Then you can just leave it in place for winter and only remove part of the railing for your cover. The outside stairs are moderately steep, but very compact which is nice. For instance we live in the mountains and leveled a section of our yard with a backhoe and road bond to create a 'slab' for a 32x16, so we are pretty close to a bank on the deck side of the pool. So the compactness of the outside stairs worked great in our situation! The stairs into the pool are more gradual. Good platform at the top for turn around. What else...good tread on the stairs. Slight drawback is there's a space on the backside of each outside stair. So potentially if you're being rowdy your leg could go through, but that would only be like running up them fast. The tread is so significant your foot definitely won't slip through. If you're older and going up them at a walking pace, I can't see it being an issue, but it is a safety thing my husband grumbled about. Possibly an issue for longer legged big dogs. Definitely want to go backwards down outside stairs unless you're athletic. Handrails slightly jiggle, but feel secure. Again, not being rowdy, everything feels very safe. Very happy with product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good for large or elderly swimmers.

A bit expensive. Very sturdy, looks nice. The gate is wonderful. Was easy to put together with two people. Needs sand to hold it down in the water side.
