Lowe's has the same GPL folding step ladders at a "better price" than Amazon. I've never seen them in Lowe's, and the website says they are "special order".

GPL makes two "versions" of the folding step ladder, a "double sided" version with steps on both vertical sections and a "single sided" version with steps only on one vertical side. Make sure you're comparing apples to apples when you do your cost comparisons...
I haven't bought one yet, I keep looking at Lowe's in different parts of the country, thinking I'd be able to just pick one up, but to date, I've never seen one "on the shelf" at Lowe's... I did use one 2 years ago and have wanted one since then, but just haven't been "that motivated" yet... Someday !!! LOL
