1 - Step Plastic Lightweight Folding Step Stool

I bought this to help me get in and out of my new soaking tub that had to be placed on a small platform due to being unable to dig into the foundation for the tub drain. I use the step stool with strategically placed grab bars to carefully get in and out of the tub. After weeks of agonizing and trying to decide what to buy to fill this need, I finally realized that I needed a step stool that was essentially the same height as the interior depth of my tub, so that there wasn't a jarring difference when getting in and out. I also love that this has a wide & deep enough step for my size 9.5 foot and is raised rubber on the step itself. I've used it to get out of a very slippery bubble bath and greatly appreciated the raised rubber surface. Also, because it's rubber, no worries about it getting wet unlike a wood step stool (which also, would be slippery with wet feet!). This can hold up to 250 lbs so I don't have to worry if my husband needs to use it for something, either. I've used this for sitting on to give myself a pedicure as well as reaching the top shelf of a closet, it's so versatile! One of the reasons I bought it was because it folds up for easy storage. We don't have a lot of space in our master bathroom so the fact this can fold up to go into a cupboard or closet or behind a leaning mirror, genius! I slipped it behind the tub where it's not immediately visible but still easy to get to. The instructions on the stool itself make it (theoretically) idiot-proof. It clearly tells you what leg to open/close first and to make sure it's locked open, even going so far as telling you to listen for the "snap" that it's locked. This is how I would design a step stool if I designed step stools. Can't say enough great things about this item, so glad I bought it and highly recommend it!

Very sturdy, folds very thin. I bought it for getting into my very tall bed, but it will be handy for other purposes as well.

Pros: Sturdy, just the right height and non-slip. Cons: pretty stiff to collapse. Hoping it will loosen up with use.

Very solid step stool. When folded, it is very compact. The only drawback is that one opened, it is difficult to re-fold. It takes some effort to collapse the legs.

It is very sturdy and perfect for what I needed. My Labrador needed a step to get into my car and this was the perfect solution. It has a non-skid service and it folds nicely. It does however have problems folding sometimes but for the most part I would recommend it.

Very sturdy, but a bit awkward to fold legs for storage

folds easily and fits under the bathroom sink perfectly

These are very sturdy, but kind of heavy. Probably too heavy for my 5 year old to open and close himself... this may be a good thing. I had purchased them to keep in my kitchen to reach my upper cabinets. We have 9 ft. ceilings and I am 5' 5". I will only be able to use these to reach items in the very front of my upper cabinets. If I want to really reach into the cabinets I will still need to drag out our step ladder. Over all good solid stool, probably won't be high enough for our needs.

This product does the job for me. I am now able to reach for items that I couldn't before in my kitchen cabinets without a problem.

Love this stool- it is well built Pros: sturdy Cons: none
