SURCO 506B 66" Bunk Ladder with Hook Retainer

This ladder is very sturdy. I have never attached it to my bunk bed (not my forté), but it is still very secure when I climb up and down.I do have two critiques. One is that the rungs are placed pretty far apart (and I have long legs). When I awake in the morning, and I'm half asleep and looking for the next rung, they all seem incredibly far apart.Secondly, the rungs do have plastic pads, but the rungs are still a little bit narrow and hard on the feet. If you don't know what I mean -- the more narrow the rungs, the more they dig into the fleshy part of the bottom of your feet. These rungs are okay when it comes to comfortThese rungs are a lot better than the rungs of the bunk bed I have. And, that is why I had to buy the ladder. The built-in ladder of my bunk bed is torture to climb. Those rungs are metal (no padding) thin, and round. They are like climbing up metal broomsticks. Ouch!The most important thing about this bunk bed ladder is how sturdy it is. It is very sturdy, and it has thick rubber caps on the bottom of the ladder. These caps keep the ladder from sliding (my ladder is on tile flooring).Overall, this Surco 506B 66" Bunk Ladder with Hook Retainer seems to be a sturdy, safe ladder. (It needs a better marketing name.)

This ladder does not "hook" on to the bunk bed. You must install the hook retainer to the bunk and then the hook attachs to it. We already see that we are going to have to replace the screws with bolts. The ladder itself seems flimsy. The price was good and it will meet our needs.

Quality ladder and very sturdy, even when I used it to get up/down (at 210lbs) to my kids beds to change the sheets. The hooks are only ok, as the ladder can easily slide up and out of the retainer, but did not have any accidents and made the kids bunks accessible to my op younger kids

It's a waste of money, it bent horribly on my first night of owning it, but I'm nearly 300 pounds so I gave it to a fellow resident that weighs no more than 120 pounds, giving the ladder the benefit of the doubt that it might have been my weight. Nope. The metal bent horribly worse for her within two days, and on the third she threw it away. It also hurts your feet to climb on, to the point of me just using it to jump off my lofted bed. Also not at all adjustable, so it didn't fit on my bed and I had to use wall putty to keep it in place. I went to Walmart and bought a $25 step ladder to replace this one, and I'd highly advise you to do that before buying this.The picture is when it was mine, but when my friend threw it away (no more than a week later), it was a "(" shape

We built a 5 foot high loft in the basement for our 3 boys this last fall. After seeing our 5 year old try, rather unsuccessfully, to negotiate a rope ladder we took a stab in the dark and ordered this item. It has worked like a charm since the moment of installation (which was the simplest part of the whole endeavor, by the way). It is thinner in width than I had imagined but both children and adults have used it to gain entry to the loft and it has withstood all weights very nicely. The mounting hardware allows for easy removal and replacement of the ladder - something I didn't think we needed until we actually did. Very happy!

Had this for a couple months now and already bent. still works fine, but just scared that it may break over a little more time or if someone else tries to use it

I really liked this at first for my daughter to use but I am seeing it starting to bend a bit in the middle. The bunk is a twin over double so it has to slant a bit which could be the reason.

We got the ladder today and it fits perfectly. We have an ACE motor coach and we needed a ladder to reach the bunk above the cab and this was the perfect height. The only thing is the hooks on the end, are for a 1/2" rail (maybe) but ours is a bit thicker so the hood won't hold. We are currently bending the hooks (which are made of metal), to see if we can make it work. We don't want to install the hook holders on the front of the bunk which would go through covering.As for holding up a person, it held me fine and I'm not as svelte as I used to be. The rubber feet at the bottom keep the ladder stable when climbing and I had not problem.The ladder is very light weight so if you are concerned how much weight your are placing in your travel trailer or RV this will be just fine. I wish we had this ladder in our travel trailer rather then the wood that it came with, which had round pegs, and would hurt your feet when climbing. I climbed the ladder in bare feet and it was comfortable.If you need a lightweight ladder for a travel trailer or rv, this is a great product, and can be used right away.
