Delxo Non-Slip 3 Step Stool Folding Sturdy Steel Wide Step Ladder with Hand Grip and Locking Mechanism for Indoor Household Kitchens, Gray

I just moved into a house with a kitchen that is not short-person-friendly. I'm 5'2" and can't reach past the first shelf in the kitchen cabinets (they are set extremely high and the kitchen has 10-foot ceilings). I knew I had to get a stool or ladder of some sort if I was going to fully utilize the storage space. My kitchen table chairs are covered in 1950's brittle vinyl, so I don't like to make a habit of standing on them. I didn't want some industrial, metal ladder that look that looked like it belonged on a construction site, and I didn't want a plastic step stool that cheapened my fabulous cabinets and Mexican tile floor. This ladder is perfect! It blends in with the southwestern decor, folds flat, is extremely sturdy, and easy to clean! I can fold it up with one hand, which is great when you're in the middle of cooking or have your hands full. I'll fold it up and lean it against the wall with no worry that it's going to fall over. And again, the wooden look makes it an item that I actually WANT to have out in my kitchen. It's not an eye-sore. The price is up there, but for me, it was worth it considering how often I would need to use it (multiple times per day).

The storage space for this in my kitchen is about an inch too small for this to fit, so I have to return it. Darn! It's such a nice stool -- well-made and sturdy. I wish it would fit because I don't know if there is anything else out there that is comparable.

This is exactly what I needed - a couple of steps so I could reach the top shelf of my closets without schlepping a chair from the dining room or a stepladder from the garage. It's a really light weight, slim-line step stool and folds away to less than an inch and a half thick - easy to store. Setting it up and closing it are explained clearly in the instructions that come with it.It's worth reading the reviews from people who didn't like it. I wouldn't recommend it for little kids standing at the sink. I can see how they could tip off it. I also wouldn't think it would be great for anyone very heavy set. It's kind of dainty and might not hold more than 200 lbs, even though it says it's good up to 250 lbs.

I was a bit hesitant when decide to purchase this step, I wanted something strong and portable that I could used at home to reach high items and during camping trips to put a 16 gallon water tank.To my surprise, this little guy is very strong and can be folded so it doesn’t take much space to store. I also ended up buying another one for my dad to help him get in his truck bed.Great purchase, it strong, portable and convenient.

For some reason, buying a step ladder was way more difficult than expected. Most are cheap, the rubber grips on the feet fall off, and the steps are either too low or there aren't enough of them to be all that useful. Then of course, is the ridiculous number of such ladders available on Amazon. Why are there so many?!? I like to think that from an anthropological perspective, when 500 years pass and our future ancestors are looking back on our culture they will assume we were all very short and had a habit of keeping necessities higher up. Why else would we need hundreds of types of a basic step ladder? Maybe they'll assume we had some sort of ground beast that forced us to elevate everything. Whatever the reason, I am happy I picked this particular ladder. It's very sturdy, the grips on the legs are high quality and gentle on wood or tile floors, the ladder looks nice - I mean for ladder, it's not a Maserati - and it is incredibly lightweight. This is a great step ladder, I appreciate the third step -- especially the fact that the top step is square and roomy enough to plant both feet on it. It's not going to fulfill your life goals, but it's a damn fine ladder for reaching items you've stored in the top of your closest -- you know, away from the ground beasts.

Well made, functional and good size. It took a bit to remember how to fold it up. I would buy again!

This little step ladder is perfect for any room where you just need a little boost. I have one in my kitchen pantry, the laundry room, and in my closet. Very handy.

I have purchased several of these stools through the years. I have one between my refrigerator and counter, one in my laundry room, one in my garage and one in my craft workroom. I'm fairly short and need a boost reaching in any of the above cabinets. I found myself needing one in my bedroom for the shelf in the closet and always have to go to another room to get one so I just ordered one more. They are so compact and easy to store unnoticeable. However, this one is not nearly as sturdy as all of the others and when you push the button to collapse it, it doesn't collapse easily like my others. I am very disappointed in the quality. I will put it in my craft workroom where I can leave it open and put that one in my bedroom where it can sit against the wall in my closet taking up very little space. So if you buy one and have trouble collapsing it, don't be surprised.
