Love these stairs,

Pros: Makes getting into and out of the pool very easy for all ages
Cons: Plastic bases will not stay attached and are difficult to replace
"These stairs are great , make getting in and out of the pool much easier than climbing straight up & down the type of ladder that comes with pools. I would have given them 5 stars , however the plastic base at the very bottom that the stairs rest on are only zip-tied on and they break constantly. It is difficult to either haul the stairs out of the pool (they are filled with sand) or dive under water to try and replace."

"The ladder that came with the pool was hard for my husband to use because of his bad back. These steps made getting in and out of the pool so much easier. His back has improved and the steps look gorgeous in the Florida sunshine!"

Pros: Easy to assemble
Cons: Some dirt gathers underneath
"These steps are great ! I had polio as a baby, and was starting to have trouble using the upright ladders to exit the pool ! These steps were so easy to put together...not that heavy to put into the pool...didn't take very much sand to weigh them down...so easy to just walk right in or out of the pool. A real must have for anyone with leg problems. Some dirt does gather under them..but a quick shot of pressure with the garden hose, and it all flows out to be easily vacuumed up! Thanks for a great product !"

Great for Autistic Daughter!,

Pros: STEPS not Ladder.
"We bought our current pool last year and it only had a standard ladder. Our autistic daughter, who normally is a fish during the summer, refused to climb the ladder and if we lifted her into the pool, she became hysterical. This year we found the staircase system and she LOVES it."

Pros: easy to get in and out of pool, easy to put together, just an overall great product
Cons: hand rails could be a little more substantial
"This stair system is really a great product. From being on my feet all day for my job, they are shot. The regular exit stairs to our pool were so narrow that it was all I could do to get out of the pool. So for the last year I didn't get in. I love my pool. So looked in your catalog,because we ordered quite a few things from In the Swim. There they were and what a blessing. Now if you could do something about the weather."

Pros: easy as walking up and down stairs
Cons: needs 2 people to take them out to winterize
"We bought these stairs because I was diagnosed with MS and had stability problems. I had fallen off the other ladders many times. These steps made it easy for me to enjoy the pool as much as my husband does. Thank you for helping this MS patient to enjoy the summer outdoor life again. You really should tell the National MS Organization about these stairs. Water therapy is very good for MS patients and these steps make it easier for them."

Our best pool investment!,

Pros: Super stable, easy entry/exit for grandparents and little kids.
Cons: Heavy to remove for winterization.
"Our old ladder steps were falling apart last year so we needed a new set. With grandparents watching our young son a few days a week, we thought these stairs would make getting in and out of the pool much easier. These pool steps were not a disappointment! Grandmas can now get in and out without a problem, and our son can sit safely on the steps and play.
They require some time to assemble and fill with sand. They also require some extra help to get in and out of the pool. Otherwise, they are a great addition to an above gound pool"

Pros: Easy assembly, very durable and affordable
Cons: Minor cutting of hand rails may be required
"We purchaced this product for cost as well as looks and durability to ease entering and exiting the pool for elderly friends and relatives. The ladder assembled very easy and attaching it to the deck was a snap. Now my elderly friends and relatives are able to enjoy my pool with the ease of walking up and down regular stairs! This was a great buy!"

As good having an inground pool!,

By SherryY

from Richmond VA
Pros: Dog and Kids can just walk into and out of pool!
"I love these stairs. They were really easy to put together. They stay in place well. They look great! Easy to see at night. The reason we purchased these stairs is so my puppy could walk into and out of the pool without assistance, they work great for this. He swims up to the top stair then climbs out on his own. My deck goes up to my pool edge. With the stairs in place it makes the pool look like an inground pool. We secured the stairs to the deck for safety. I wouldnt have an above ground pool without them."

Excellent stairs,

Pros: Easy to put together & safe and easy to use.
"These stairs are everything we hoped they would be & more. They are easy to put together except for putting the sand in which was time-consuming but one expects the sand issue with nearly any stairs. They are safe to use and attached to the deck very easily. We did buy the mat to go under them and that was easy to install also. We are glad we decided on this particular set of stairs."

Best money spent,

By rsilva708
from Hickory Hills, IL
from Hickory Hills, IL
Pros: Easy to put together
Cons: heavy to get out at the end of the season
"I have a bad back, and I am not stable on my feet at time. These stairs have really helped me to enjoy my pool more. I also have a family member with MS and she just can't climb a ladder so now she can enjoy the pool. HTey also help younger kids get used to being in the watter because they can just sit on the stairs, and go down to the next when they feel better about it at their own pace, of course with an adult with them. My friends with children love me having the steps for that reason.
Once filled with sand they can be very heavy to remove at the end of the season, so make sure you have some help."

Best Purchase All Year,
Date:August 25, 2007
By Belljarsmom
Pros: Large, sturdy, easy to put together
Cons: Dirt and Leaves get stuck under it
"We searched and searched for a set of steps to accomodate our family. Wanted something sturdy for larger adults and safe and sturdy for small child so she would feel safe. Only have a 16 ft. round pool and didn't want the steps that protrude out 3 feet or more. These steps were the perfect answer. They are compact and fit nicely in the pool without impeding swim space and they provide a safe, sturdy entrance and exit from the pool Well worth every penny!! Easy to assemble and weight down with sand. Excellent product--highly recommended. The only down side I've seen is that we have a lot of trees around our pool and the leaves get caught under the stairs. You have to kind of pick up on the stairs and swish water through to get them out--otherwise they settle under the stairs--can't reach with a vacuum."
