Would this be too obtrusive if installed in a stair well?

The cradle is about 1 foot out from the wall so with your bike on it that would be approximately 2 feet into the stair well. Therefore unless it is a very wide stair well it would be obtrusive and probably a safety hazard.

It folds up when not in use. It depends on if you feel your bicycle would be obtrusive. I find it pretty minimalist.

Depends on the width of the stairwell and how high up on the wall it is. Can you post a picture where you want to put it?

Yes just be careful because the width is as one of the steps, but I use it and the ladder is so light!

We also have a round stair post. It does secure on with the tension but if anyone runs into it or pushes too hard, it will slide off. It's the best one we found for our situation.

Any gate mounted above stairs needs to be hardware-mounted. This pressure-mounted one eventually can wiggle loose, especially if the surfaces it's pushing up against for mounting are not completely square horizontally. More than once we have stepped to open it and the whole thing dislodged, and we hadn't realized it was that loose.

I do not think you would have any problems pulling the cart up stairs. The cart itself is not that heavy.

I'd say the company is probably playing it safe because they are thinking people may place it directly at the head/end of a staircase, which would be incredibly awkward/dangerous to open. Also, the bottom bar that holds the gate in place could be a tripping hazard. (I suppose stating that it should be placed at least a few feet back isn't clear enough for their written safety standards.)

If your stairs are wide enough it's good. Mine are narrow, so it's a pain to hold while hose is in other hand so that it doesn't fall off the stairs.

Umm I haven't used it without the stairs but it should be fine for dogs. If not they are pretty steep and shouldn't be in the way.

Yes but...due to the fastening materials (velcro) I would not trust it at the top of the stairs. We use ours at the bottom. It serves its purpose.

If the distance between the steps is the same then there should be no problem. This "Little Giant" platform is not rocket science, but was agreat idea. This platform is a life saver when you have to stand in one spot for a while such as hooking up a ceiling fan or painting. Sure makes it easy on your feet. The "U" shape on the platform just goes on the step below and the platform slides out and the lip slides against the step you place it on. Good luck

None. We also got it up a tough staircase. It's not an extremely wide chair, you should be ok

you should have no problem as I installed on a wide stairwell and it works great

It is real strange. It is tall but narrow. They some how suck all the air out and make it skinny. But then when open it expands. I would move it up stairs first then open it. You should be fine. But it is a heavy buger.

To tell you the truth, it does rock, or shift, a little when you do what you describe. But I don't think it's a problem so long as you don't elevate the platform above it's base position. Which you shouldn't have to do. Of course, with your heels hanging off (or below the flat level of the platform a little bit), it would seem to me you might need to support yourself, like you would with a stair bannister on one side, if you had one. Unless you are a championship gymnast.

Yes, but I would fasten it to prevent possible sliding from a non-level area. The cabinet is heavy.

dont exactly understand the question, but when the ladder is properly clicked and locked I think it would be fine I think

I think it would be fine for that purpose. It comes rather flat, before it may actually need to be used, and so wouldn't be a hazard to step over. If it's unseen behind a door, for that 'just in case,' it should work well.
