ReaseJoy 24"-40"(60-100cm) Adjustable Aluminium Drywall Stilts with Protective Pad Decorator Painting Plastering

Straps hirt

Quick delivery and these stilts are very sturdy (although I actually find them easier to use with the stilts swapped around so the leg supports are between my legs instead of outside, and as I keep my legs apart to balance then I don't have problems with the supports colliding when I walk).This is my first time on stilts (since making some wooden ones as a child) and found them quite easy to use (although I do have good balance normally). I bought them for non-professional decorating around the house instead of having to repeatedly move a step ladder and they are brilliant for this, but everything needs to be prepared before hand so that it is reachable from the higher level.They take some time to construct and to set up properly in terms of setting the spring tensions for forward/backward balance, as well as setting a comfortable height for the leg braces (you will need a size 11 spanner or socket as one is not supplied) and this setup needs you to strap them on and test them, then take them off and adjust them, then strap them on again, and repeat as required. I did my setup and testing at the lowest height setting then progressed up to full extended height and adjusted them again to fine tune. While I'm getting used to them at full height I'm also using a long pole in one hand to help balance and gain confidence.Getting up onto the stilts is definitely a problem. At the lowest height you need to (at least) be sat on something as low as your kitchen worktop. When they are extended to their tallest height I have to sit on a windowsill that is about 5 foot high and ideally I would prefer to be at 6 foot.The two foot straps are tight and sturdy, but I'm not too confident about the leg strap which just seems a bit odd and doesn't hold its tension as well as the foot straps. I had however opted to also buy a set of the wide padded velcro straps (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CEFZT3M) and I'm very happy with this decision as it adds enormously to my confidence, especially at the stilts full height.Overall, they're great fun and as yet I haven't fallen over - it's going to be a big splat if I ever do!

Stilts are fine but the straps round the top keep coming loose all the time and iv nearly fallen over a few times because of it!

Happy with purchase

Perfect. Exactly what I needed
