I have old people and these steps are the most solid and the best steps for them (and for me). There are some disadvantages for sure. But I’ll take them over having wobbly fold out steps. I don’t want my folks falling off of my stairs because I can’t be inconvenienced to sweep a little mess, adjust them once while I’m setting up camp, and heaven forbid I have to wipe them off. Small disadvantages for all of the advantages (solid stairs, and extremely easy to use)
JMHO based on experience.
Thanks!
