I am very satisfied with this product. I actually needed it to climb in & out of my new bed safely. It's just the right height...most step stools were not tall enough, or weren't secure enough, or would slip out from under me. Being a senior citizen, falling from my bed was not a good option. This stool has been a safe secure choice for me. Thank you Rubbermaid, this was the only one of it's kind out there that met my needs.

This is a great step stool if you do not mind its weight and you have enough storage space for it. Here are some things that you may like to know:
- It is very sturdy and does not wobble even with a 260 pound adult on it.
- The height advantage it gives you is 16"
- The top step is 16" x 10"
- The lower step is 14" x 5" and may feel a little flimsy for heavy adults compared to the top step.
- The total footprint is 18" x 18"
- The steps have non-slip grooves on their surface.
- It has non-slip rubber "feet" and does not slide on hardwood floors even with no weight on it.
- It weighs a little over 5 pounds which makes it heavier than others so if, let's say, you would use this to paint a room, it may be a hustle moving it around so much. But if you are going to use it for reaching things once in a while, its weight will not be much of a problem.
- Since this is not a collapsible step stool, it can be in the way and hard to store it away.

I got this step stool because my grandson keeps turning a toys basket upside down so he can stand on it and reach things like light switches and the kitchen sink because he loves helping with the dishes (or playing with the water). I was worried about the basket because he almost fell once so I was looking for a step stool that has a wide top step and I decided to get this one. I just needed it to make things safer for my grandson and there are many step stools for kids in Amazon but most will not hold the weight of an adult and do not have the safer and wider top step I was looking for. Another concern is that when you buy a step stool that can only support kids, you just know that at some point in time there will be at least one adult in the house that will need to reach something and will think that the child's step stool will hold them. So, I got it for my grandson but I am sure that it will prove to be very handy for the adults in the house too.

Needless to say that the little guy loved it right away and put it to work minutes after I placed it on the floor. I put felt pads under it so he can push it around until he is comfortable lifting it to move it and to get it out of the way when not being used, I just push it under the kitchen table for now.

I'm a tad dissapointed in this item. The trouble is with its balance. Oddly, it feels stable on the top step, but when you step up on the bottom step, it tends to rock backwards. Wife noticed same. Not so good! This should be a safer feeling product with more stability on each step.

This is a very sturdy and stable step stool. I like them better than the folding kind. The folding ones tend to get wobbly. I have a cream-colored version of this plastic one that is at least 20 years old and it's as solid as the day we bought it. That one has been next to our trampoline for years, for kids and grandkids to use to get up on the trampoline.

When I went to buy another one, all I could find in the stores were the one-step ones, or the folding ones. This was a great find, here on amazon.

It's a step stool, so I don't really have any illuminating review comments to make. It is sturdy enough to hold my larger weight, it feels sturdy while I am on it, and it allows me to reach the high shelves in my closet. What more can I ask for in a stool? A good buy for a basic item.

Update 4/19/17 - docking a star because a few months ago the bottom step cracked when I stepped on it. I almost fell off. I am lower than the weight limit and honestly, this only gets used a few times a month at the most just to get things off my high shelves. It's still usable if I stand on the top step, but bottom step is now unstable.
