This product is fantastic! It came on a pallet, and via LTL (less than truckload... ie freight). It was easy for me to assemble by myself, and it took about 20 minutes once all pieces were unwrapped and prepped. Overall, about 40 minutes from box to built. Be sure to start from the ground up, and when installing the wooden standing platforms, keep in mind they have to be sort of wedged between the reinforced supports.... do not overly secure everything to the point there isn't a bit of wiggle room to ease them into their channels.

- 45 minutes to install/build
- easy for one person to roll/maneuver on carpet
- recommend aftermarket bracing to minimize sway when on the top level
- Allow me to reach the ceiling easily in a two story great room

NOTE - you need to be prepared to take this from the street to your home depending on the carrier. The driver was reluctant to do this, and given it's a smaller semi truck, was unable to maneuver in a neighborhood to back into the drive. Had to cut it from the pallet and carry it up the driveway.

A couple of weeks ago I had a painter to estimate the entire outside of my home, he said 3400$ and the paint goes on me, I said no way Jose, for that kind of money I better do it myself. So I've got this great scaffold, the first I use I need to say, but it worked for me just fine.

It's easy to set up, although a little bit cumbersome to do it alone. There are no instructions on how to put the guard rails, but I called the manufacturer and that was all, I spoke with the same guy who called me right before shipping. Great service.

It shakes and squeaks a little, but with the wheels locked it improves considerably, a non-issue really.
Great design, when I'm done with it I can easily store it in my garage, and I like that.
Cons? None so far.

Word of caution. Out riggers holes and main frames have different diameter, so take that into account if buying leveling jacks, I bought Model# M-MBSJP24H and they don't fit, so I'll have to figure something out when going out side.

Indispensable in stairs. You definitely want the safety rails on top, and the outriggers. Refinished my vaulted ceiling. Couldn't have done it without it. The design is very versatile and the parts can be reconfigured to match the requirements.

Super sturdy and heavy duty. I replaced Harbor Freight scaffolds with this one. I would like to see a crossbar option to decrease wobble.

First I want to say that I love products from Northern Tool. This item had a universal 5 star rating, and looked to be an affordable alternative to clean unreachable windows in our home, that we usually pay 250.00 to have cleaned. It would pay for itself after two uses.

It arrived via 18 wheeler on a pallet. I unpacked and partially assembled it in about 2 hours. Many of the reviews noted that it was a "little rickety," but no one thought this was an issue. However, standing on just the first level, it was so rickety, that I was too afraid to continue the assembly to the second level, reasoning that the second level would be twice as shaky as the first level. I am not an engineer, but it would seem that the simple addition of an opposing, hand tightened diagonal support on either side would greatly improve the shakiness. I re-packaged it (about 90 minutes). Northern Tool made the return as effortless as possible, allowing me to return it to a local Northern Tool store for complete refund.
