I bought the Director in June 2012 and, as always with Amazon, get quickly and easily. The manager seemed initially quite solid and well made, but turned itself in "First Ascent" by questionable. Trusting in the Product Description ("Maximum load capacity 150") I still worked with the part at high altitudes (finally I weigh only 85 kg). I took the ladder only privately and only sporadically, now after almost 2 years it broke apart. Of course, when I was standing on it. In a height of 4m. Unbelievable that can get those products in Germany at all on the market. The ladder is broken in the solid material.
