I had them in my old house and found them unsteady. And putting boxes up there required a certain amount of strength I no longer have. I don't really have anything to put in my attic so for now it doesn't matter.

I thought when I do want to use that space I would install a block and tackle attached to a drawer smaller than the opening. I could load it up, pull it up and stand on a ladder to push it off.
