ACSTEP 16 Inch Folding Step Stool, Heavy Duty, 400 lbs, Grey

This step stool has an improvement over the same stools of the past I have bought. I use them to sit on for garden tasks or indoor cleaning tasks as my knees no longer tolerate kneeling. This stool has an improvement, a latch to lock the stool open. It doesn’t appear to be very stable, but time will tell. The plastic wears down with use making the stool unstable after a few years and making a need to replace them.

good quality, height is good, works well, i am short and needed something to reach into my washer that is on a petasil

My rating is regarding the 16” stool I purchased. It is a little flimsy when standing on it to reach into cabinets, or dusting upper areas. A couple of times it began to fold back in on its own )one side) without me moving around too much. As I read in another review, it seems like one side hinge does not keep snug, making it seem like it can collapse, so it could be a manufacturing flaw. I will now only use it for a side table for small items in between pool/lawn chairs. Or, to sit on but not to stand on.

My wife needed a stool to be able to get up to a cabinet above the microwave and this one works perfectly. I also have back pain and leg weakness. My physical therapy routines required me to mimic going up a step repeatedly on each leg. Our original stool was only about 5 inches high and that was too easy. The one foot height is a challenge for me so it is ideal for me to improve my leg strength.

My wife loved it.
