To hang curtains or reach a jar on the top shelf of a kitchen cabinet, you can, of course, perch on a chair.
But it will be much more convenient, and most importantly, safer for you if you use a stepladder to perform such chores around the house.
Due to the fact that there is a huge variety of such products on sale, you cannot do without advice on choosing a stepladder.
First of all, we recommend that you decide on the material from which a particular model is made.
Metal (steel) stepladder
This option is probably the most reliable of all available. But it is also the heaviest. Therefore, if you have someone to call for help, feel free to take a metal stepladder. If this is not possible, consider other models.
Wooden stepladder
Despite all its advantages in the form of naturalness and eco-friendliness, a stepladder made of wood is subject to rot if it gets wet. If you do not plan to use the ladder to climb it with a bucket of water intended for watering flowers in hanging planters, who knows, maybe this option will be the best one for you.
Aluminum stepladder
The aluminum stepladder is lightweight and compact. Even a fragile woman can handle the assembly and movement of the structure. In addition, this model is an ideal solution for small apartments.
