Arnold P. Lillie: I have been using these stilts for almost a year now and I'm very happy with them. I am a novice to drywall work but after having used these to hang and mud an entire 2200 square foot home they are such huge help...especially when taping and mudding. I am 62 years old and this is the first time I have used any drywall stilts and they are so easy to get used to...very user friendly. I did buy the velcro straps that another amazon buyer recommended (All-Wall Extra Comfort Padded Wide Stilt Straps Leg Bands for Drywall, Painting, Insulation - Fits Yescom, Pentagon, Dura-Stilt, SurPro, GypTool - Correas Acolchadas para Zancos, Muy Comodas) and those are a huge improvement over the original top straps...well worth the money as they allow me to work using these stilts for hours. These stilts assemble and adjust easily and fit my 11 1/2 wide shoe size. The traction of these stilts on Advantech sheathing and pressure treated deck lumber is excellent. Since I have never used any other stilts before I can't say how these compare. But I would buy these again in a heart beat. Putting them on and taking them off is simple and easy. The lower straps on the foot platforms adjust quickly and...

matt: I'm a contractor, primarily residential renos. Very impressed with ease of use, seem to be well made - a bit squeaky when in use.

IanMarshall: To be clear, it is adjustable, but not for practical purposes. The way the lower strut tubes and upper strut tubes slide into the same connector is very finicky. The instructions constantly say to not over tighten, but they still move freely even when tight. I'm 6'4, so maybe they're just not designed for tall people, but regardless... the adjustments are not what you'd expect... you need two wrenches for most adjustments that you'd expect to be regular usage. Definitely don't by these if you intend on more than one person using them.... they can be adjusted for one person and that's it.

*Note* They arrived clearly used and refurbished, which isn't a big deal, but I did notice that on some joints where you'd expect lock washers, there was none.

Long story short... if you want to save $50 for 4 hours of your time tweaking the adjustments, then go ahead, but if I could do it again, I'd just pay a bit more for something more solid and sturdy.

Michael Basanta: These stilts work but don't expect the quality of a higher end stilt.

Bren: I am covering my rooms that have stippled ceiling with new drywall. I purchased these to see if they would be able to make the job easier, or if I would take advantage of the free return. I love them!! They have cut the time it takes to apply mud, sand and paint in half. They also have been useful for putting up my new ceiling fans! I started off at the lowest setting and they were very easy to learn how to use. The next day I raised them up to the highest setting and could reach the ceiling much easier and I still felt very secure. They do squeak a bit, and you need to dial in the spring adjusters to get them to feel right. The only negative is that the holes on the set I got did not line up when I was assembling them. I had to get out the drill and drill them out to get them assembled.

LRH: These things work wonderful. I can go up and down stairs on them, and walk around without any difficulty. A little care should be taken to set your stuff you will need up on a shelf or somewhere you can access it, and to clean up cords, and any other trip hazards prior to use, but they work like a charm. The buckles are very secure, and I do not feel at all loose in them. They did take a few tries however to get the upper leg support set properly, and comfortably. It can be moved forward and back, side to side, and it can be rotated to adjust where the metal band will meet the leg. I have found it best to have the metal band slightly at the front on my leg, but I think this is a preference that will be unique to each person.
They have been very sturdy so far (about 30 hours of use now), and appear to be well made. They are easy to adjust height too.
((About me: Professional carpenter 20 yrs, but this is my first pair of stilts.))

JB: I'm new to using stilts, so I was a little apprehensive about getting them, but these seemed to be a good value so I gave 'em a try. This product is of high quality, but they do require some assembly and adjustment. It's important to get those adjustments done correctly! The instructions are pretty clear. I used the widest setting for the upper arm support to counter the bow legged effect that others have reported. I also had a problem getting the upper strap to tighten enough because of my stick legs, so I used 1 1/2" velcro straps in addition to the buckle straps provided. It really made a difference for me. Without being tight, it would have been really hard to walk in these things!

There is a learning curve for noobs like me. Getting them on the first few times was a chore. I started by using a big 8-foot folding ladder to step off of and hold on to while putting on the first stilt. Once the first one was on, the ladder helped to keep me steady while strapping up the second. Now I just put the first one on while standing on the floor, stand up on the one stilt while leaning against a wall, and placing my other foot onto the second stilt. The wall keeps me steady enough...
