measurement shown is in the folded position so not as tall as I expected, but otherwise sturdy and a wide platform.

It is not 17” tall but only 13”. Very nice otherwise. Just received it so don’t know yet about well it will last.

Does the job! It’s my go-to kitchen stool for everyone from my 18 month old grchild to my 70 yr old spouse.

One of the rubber tips fell out of the leg the first time I used it, and there is already a crack forming in one of the legs. How do you say, "Chinese"? I should have bought from the place I bought my first such bench, Kikkerland. It's still sturdy many years on.

Exactly as expected. Durable with a space saving design! Very pleased.
