This unit is a great addition to any DIY homeowner, and I've used mine along with a basket for a little under a month both inside and out. It's pretty sturdy overall and I wouldn't hesitate to have two adults up, working. I considered a second strata for my project but ended up just using a small step ladder to get a few feet higher. It would be nice if you could lock and unlock the wheels from above, that's about my only gripe.
