Poor Engineering  
I bought this ladder about 8 to 10 years ago to use in my business. Thank goodness I havent needed it that often as after only a few uses the plastic sleeves that align the sections started unseating causing the ladder not to be able to fully "nest". You can take off the feet at the bottom and pull the sleeves out until you get to the one that has unseated and gotten misaligned reseat it which is not always easy replace all the others above making sure that each one of them is properly seated and it will then become useable again for a few more times if youre lucky.

The idea here is wonderful and when it works it is a godsend. When it doesnt and it didnt with increasing frequency it is quite the opposite. I did buy this ladder quite some time ago and I would hope that this engineering flaw has been corrected. : 2010-09-15 05:15:22

#1205 telesteps telescoping ladder  
This is not the original telesteps made in Sweden. Its a knockoff made in China. The marketing co. will tell you the patent was bought by an American co. This is a lie. There is no warranty and the real teleateps parts may or may not fit. The co. may have gone underground as they will not respond. : 2010-09-15 05:15:22

Nice Idea Piece of Junk Poor Service  
These ladders are quite ingenious. A very simple plastic fitting and steel pin locks the sections together as they are extended and they progressively collapse coming down. Ive had 2. Each lasted about a month of very light use. Soon one of the locking pins wont engage and its useless. The first one I sent back and they sent me a re-conditioned one. Another month the same thing. Ive called. They wont give you a drawing of the mechanism to try and fix it or explain how it works and all the pieces are press-fit so its non-repairable outside the factory. They basically said "too bad". After taking it apart I can see what I might have tried for a fix but too late. They really are unrepairable and the company was no help. Save your money. Too bad there is no "0" star rating. : 2010-09-15 05:15:22

Cannot recommend Telesteps wish I could  
I am a home inspector. When I first bought this just over a year ago for attics I loved it. I started using it in different areas of the home all the time. Well just a couple months ago the top rung pulled off as I was extending it. I contacted the current manufacturer at the supplied phone number. At first they were friendly said to send it in with the warranty showing it was less than a year old. I told the man it was just over a year old. He wrote back by Email and said there was "nothing" they could do then. I replied that I understood but I would be happy to ship it and pay whatever it takes to fix it. The company asked what part of "they cant help me" did I not understand. The said it was impossible to supply me with any parts or to do factory repairs. As it is I tried to figure out how repair it myself and thought I did okay. But yesterday I realized the top two rungs are now only holding on one side....it almost collapsed on me when fully extended. I cannot seem to make them la : 2010-09-15 05:15:22

BEWARE...Not as pictured or advertised!  
I totally agree with other 1-star rater...Telesteps.net is printed on the box of the "Made in China" product which I received. It is not the same as the product pictured on Amazon.com nor the same product detailed at telesteps.com in Sweden. (see-http://www.telesteps.com/arkiv/pdf/en/Telesteps-telescopic_3_3.pdf). Releases and locking mechanisms are totally different. The Made in China product I received didnt have the metal release rings as pictured at Amazon. Instead they have a pair of orange plastic release buttons with questionable engagement capacities. They caution you about getting you fingers smashed if you use the release improperly. Also the locking clips on each step are not as robust nor red and more visible for engagement confirmation like in the Swedish version. (Translation: cheaper and less secure. on the China made product). The Made in China product warns you not to extend the ladder from the top. The video on the real (Swedish) site actually shows them doing it that : 2010-09-15 05:15:22
