It went together easy and looks great. Quality equipment for sure...BUT...the L-shaped mounting brackets used to mounting to the wall are not 16" O.C. holes, they are more like 16.75" O.C. so they don't quite hit the studs in the centre. Also, the wall brackets I paid an extra $80 for don't line up with the L mounting brackets holes. So the mounting brackets are useless. Also, what do the expansion screws do. All the videos show the L-shaped mounting brackets going straight into the wall but no expansion screws. Anyone have a clue about those??

This is well built and it feels really solid. I love it once it’s installed. However, the installation process is not great if you are not familiar with all these. First of all there's no template to put on the wall to make sure you are drilling in the right spots. This means you’ll need to put it up, mark the hole on the wall, put it back down, drill, put it back up. Additionally, I bought the wall brackets but there was no instruction on how to attach the ladder to the bracket and then to the wall. It was not super ergonomic to attach the bolts. Now looking back I feel like it would’ve skip the wall brackets and instead buy wood(2x4) and attach it to your studs and then put the ladder up and attach to it. The holes alignment would not be a problem in that case and it would be more forgiving.
