Unclear if this ladder has ability to be put into uneven legs for stairways. Anyone know about this configuration ability?

Yes. If you know to use it. If, for instance, you keep one side folded, and open(unfolded) the other side, then put the short side higher up the stairs, and the longer part lower on the stairway.

Yes. It is symmetrical in that sense. Check the dimensions to make sure the step will be where you want it to be and all should be fine.

I have the 3 step ladder and the answer would be...yes. I would imagine the same would apply to the taller ladder.

Ronald, the way that the shelves are designed and segmented makes height adjustment impracticable. Each vertical section is composed of two 36" lengths of L steel and they are designed to fit one another flush at the end of each joint segment. There is no provision or configuration for overlapping. I can't think of any way to alter that design to shorten without compromising the fit or load strength of the unit. Hope this heps.

The height is not adjustable.Of course, if you are handy, you can saw off the bottom part, drill a couple hole for the bolts that connect the ladder to the bar that is fastened to the wall. Good luck.

Not as designed. I suppose with the proper skills and tools it wouldn't be too hard to modify. The holes in the rail the ladder attach to are only drilled in one side, and the rail is not reversible.

Until I had used the ladder a few times I also had some difficulty. Once I had figured out where pins needed to be placed I had no further problems. Furthermore, as a person who 'prefers to be on the ground', the tighter fit gives the ladder a much more stable feel.

With the proper tools (you'd need a torch) it could be done....but because of how it would need to be cut it would be VERY DIFFICULT to get the legs even (read *impossible*).....then you have to take the following into consideration: the ladder would also have to be shortened, placing the bottom rung either on the floor or completely missing. The legs themselves would then be open-ended so you would have to find some way to protect your floor from them. You would no longer have enough clearance under the bed to place a desk or chair (for anyone over 5'2" or so)

That is correct, you need to put the foot in the mount in the up position and locate the position for the mount. That way you can have it so you can leave the foot on one or the other side when using it on level ground. Sometime one of the ladder rungs decides where you will put it.

Yes, they have 4 different heights. Legs can be set differently for uneven ground.

If you mean two people on one platform, then no - not enough room and no way to balance like that. If you mean two platforms - one on each side of the ladder, then yes, it works great that way -- BUT BE AWARE that the ladder is only rated to hold a certain amount of weight per side. The Little Giant Xtreme is rated for 300 lbs., which means it will hold 300 lbs. safely on each side (it will actually hold much more, but less safely, and if it does break/fail they are only liable to help you if you didn't exceed the max. rated weight). This is good to know for any ladder. Some are only rated 200 lbs. And this platform does work on other ladders (Werner MT for example).

stability seems to require that any ladder should be used according to it's design for safety. in this case it means..open the ladder becasue the steps are inaccessible until you do. isn't that a wonderful protective feature? the manufacturer precludes that foolish idea!

Yes, one does have to lean the ladder as it is not a folding ladder. I use mine in a m/h

I put the edges of the rungs at my heels which aids in balance and the remainder of my foot is on the rung. I have not experienced a problem with this. I can say that this is the most stable step ladder I have ever been on, period. Hope this helps!

I see that the pictures of the bed in white do show it with both the straight and slanted ladder. Weird. I have the blue and the ladder is straight.

Although the instructions indicate that the ladder can be moved, the holes in the boards will only allow the ladder to be installed on the left, as shown in the picture. However, it would not be too difficult to drill the one additional hole needed to move the ladder to the right.

Not without a dollop of effort! It's adjustable for heights and can, then too, be un-screwed and disassembled into two pieces! An aside: gingerly place it upright on the floor, carpet etc and notice it tips FORWARD or BACKWARD...to offset the extra material in/on the handle! Intriguing! jhm
