"Good Condition". I'd buy it if the listing said "Perfect". ;-)

I have never seen a ladder like that before.
I'm just familiar with step ladders and extension ladders.
NOT a step ladder with an extension ladder in the middle!

I've seen 'em, I just have no desire to use 'em.


Are there braces near the bottom for sideways support ?
... or do the outside ladders spay-out wide ?

Doesn't matter. Nothing is rigid/tight enough to make that thing
stable. No thanks. I'll pay the $65.

Stable is all relative. They are obviously stable enough to be made/sold by
a major ladder maker and carried by major tool suppliers.

If they weren't stable, they wouldn't be readily available from well known
sources. OSHA doesn't seem to have a problem with them, although this link
refers to the wooden version.

Stable enough for me? Don't know, since I'd never use it in the manner shown
in that listing. (Neither would OSHA, based on that link)
