ULTRA-SLIM STEP STOOL - HEAVY DUTY: Folds 2" Wide in Clementine; by Vanderbilt Home

Used this thing maybe 4-5 times. I'm not a large person, maybe 170-180 pounds. The thing completely shattered underneath me. It's now in a hundred pieces and I'm all cut up, waiting for a refund. Do not buy!!!!

The center of the stool, where the handle is, gives way easily. I didn't believe other reviews that reported this problem because an old one I have didn't do this. All three of the new ones I purchased buckle notably in the center when I stood on them, and I am only 210 pounds (95 kilos; 15 stone). Best non-slip surface of any of the stools I have seen on Amazon. Will use the treads on other stools and put these under potted plants, dog-food bowls, etc.

I steered away from these types of steps for a long time because I am a bigger guy and, generally feel that quick steps are less than safe. The alternatives I've tried are some steel frame steps that always end up catching me in the shins and which are just clunky. Bruised and battered, I tried this.The biggest concerns for me were how flat this could fold and how much it could capably support. Pleased all around with a very solid polymer construction. It feels solid and comfortable with a full 180 lbs. on it. At its widest, this step is slightly over 1.5 inches (folded). Generous 13 inch reach helps me get to everything I need.Very pleased with the size and durability. Generous height for the light weight. Quality non-skid on the top surface and foot bottoms. Well made and a bargain at the prices available.

I really loved this stool for the first year. I use it to put my bicycle and kayak on the top of my car. But I used it last week while loading my bicycle, and it shattered underneath me. I weigh about 220 lbs, well under the 320lb limit, and it literally shattered into pieces. Luckily I was not hurt, but I fell and dropped my bicycle, scratched my car, etc. I would say this worked well for about a year, but that is it. It was not stored in the sun and was not exposed to extreme temperatures. :(

I've bought three of these from different sellers. Haven't had any issues with any of them. I use one in my truck for my wife. One in my bubble tub to step out, and one in my kitchen for the grandkids to help with cooking. All are used infrequently with less than 200lbs load. They are convenient for what they are, but for higher or heavier needs indoors you should probably go with a three step folding ladder. I have one of those also and it works well to reach higher while remaining steady. All of these folding products are easy to use and store.

This stool was precisely the height I wanted. It also folded with ease. Sadly,after locking it into place and then standing on it, it CRACKED! I am no where near the 300lb weight limit! I will now have to make another choice. What a waste of time to attempt to return this item under the current circumstances.

I would have given this tiny and slim gem 5 stars but:a) what was sent was NOT in the photo advertisement (I didn't want "circle" holes in sides which makes it look cheaper and more industrial than needed. Besides I see no aesthetic or functional reason for these large holes. andb) the plastic material has *very* fine lines/grooves which easily collect dust & dirt. In fact when I received it I had to thoroughly clean it and wipe in the direction of the grooves as the dust had already collected and it looked sloppy dirty.... I'm not looking forward to nor do I want to regularly clean a silly step stool that sits in my nice new kitchen.

My wife stood on this stool and it almost instantly broke into numerous pieces. My wife is not even remotely close to the weight limit this stool claims to hold. Suppose you get what you pay for I'm this instance.

Before i make my positive comments i feel it important to know a main health risk that was never listed before you make a decision. The stool has the *CALIFORNIA CANCER CAUSING RISK* warning alert sticker added to it that you will seen when it arrives. That label indicates that It can cause birth defects and further reproductive harm. With that being said i knew all of this before i purchased the stool only from reading the comments of others. I have bought a few other things over the yrs from other online stores/found that out after the purchase & returned the items immediately. I would never want to put a *child or pregnant mother at risk even if there was only a small chance of any risk no matter how cute the item was.* However, i have only myself to be concerned about. I've had 3 different cancers in the past & i don't plan to have babies any longer. The stool is very nice, convenient & affordable & it came very quickly. I washed it up good & i believe the reason there may be that risk warning to this stool is maybe that because led paint may have been used &/or some kind of glue that was used to glue used on the top part of this stool was not regulated for use in the Western Countries, places where the majority of the customers would be buying from. Good Luck & stay well in this crazy world that we live in...

I bought this stool for my 2 year old daughter to use to brush her teeth in our bathroom. It is sturdy and folds up nicely to tuck beside the sink. My daughter did pinch her fingers in it while trying to unfold it (she insists on doing it herself), but it wasn’t hard to teach her how to do it without hurting herself. Overall happy with my purchase, and happy to have something that doesn’t have paw patrol on it in my bathroom.

This is such a great step stool. It's a good height the extra couple of inches really makes a difference. We use it in our entryway for our toddler to put his shoes on. We also use it in the bathroom or in the playroom when we are sitting down with our son. Its sturdy and looks well made. Im well over 200 lbs and I feel like it can hold my weight. Because it's easy to fold we also carry it in the car and take it along on a picnic or even to the playground. That way I can sit right beside my child instead of sitting far away on the benches and not be able to properly spot my child. When we are out, i keep one in my stroller so when my child has a temper tantrum I pull out the foldable seat and sit down with him on my lap to calm him down. It has helped a lot! Being able to sit down and take our time to calm down makes such a difference for a three-year-old instead of rushing and feeling frazzled. My child and I love it so much that I had to buy a second one. Definitely recommend!

I ordered this because we needed something to climb on when washing our truck.I have seen similar designs in the department stores near my home but in comparison to this product, they are flimsy. This step-stool is not only beautifully designed, it is super sturdy. The other great quality about it is that it folds up nicely and you can tuck it away anywhere you please without having to have lots of room to store it.It does have a handle so you can carry it easily. The colour is lovely and the logo is so pretty. I am a fan of retro designs and colours and just love my step-stool.

The stool itself is what I wanted, the description said 'Dark Red'. Imagine my surprise when the stool came and it was pink. The tag on the package says Dark Red but this is what I got.The stool looks like it is going to work for me, I got it so my wife can get in and out of the 4X4. Since she hurt her back 7 months ago she has been unable to get in and out. The healing is progressing well so she wanted a stool to try it out so Pink may not be the 'manly' colour but it will work for her.Just four stars because of the colour.
