This looks like a library ladder. The back is straight, the steps are obviously angled, so instead of it being an "A" frame, it is half of an "A". To fold it, you need to tip the whole thing toward you (steps closest to your body) the the individual steps start flipping up simultaneously and the iron back folds toward the steps that are now all upright. The steps start moving without you having to flip them individually. Very heavy and cumbersome.
