3-Step Lightweight Aluminum Folding Step Ladder with Non-Marring Leg Tips, Slip-Resistant Platform, ANSI Rated 225 lbs, Home Furniture and Furnishings

So I was looking for a lightweight step stool for my camper. The inside of my toyhauler has an 8' ceiling, and so such a thing could be useful. I went on Amazon, and found this. Now I do not recall WHY it was so much cheaper than everything else when I bought it, but it was. FAR less than I see it now. But you know what? It is a very high quality stool / ladder - strong, light, easily set up, and stable. It checks all of the boxes. You will not be disappointed. At the present price, I would probably have to look carefully at others, to seek something even close in quality but less than the current $130 all time high price. So the value part depends on the price - if you look at the pricing trend you will note it has bounced as low as $40 this year, and has generally been under about $85. Not sure WHY so much now, unless someone is playing 'tariff lottery' with your money. In summary: track the price, and DEFINITELY BUY when it is reasonably priced. You will NOT be disappointed. Just dont pay $130!

This ladder is best all around useful ladders in the house, where it's super light weight that you can carry with one hand and quick to setup, plus sturdy enough to withstand your weight. Wide steps and quality build proved we made the right choice when purchasing this product. Truth to be told, we physically saw this same exact product at local Walmart and tried it before pulling the trigger here on Amazon as it's cheaper :-)

Great step ladder we use when camping. Lightweight yet sturdy so handy ladder for seniors to manage. Liked it enough I purchased another one for home.

Unlike the majority of the other step stools with inflated load capacities that bend noticeably when stepped upon, this step stool is solid. There is very little to no deflection with 195lbs standing on the steps. I’m confident it can handle its 225lb rated load. The extruded aluminum side rails offer exceptional strength, support and stability. The top step is 33-1/2” above the floor and locks into place with a quick release latch for fold up. The fold up thickness is 4-1/2”, also the width of the tool tray that is 17” above the top step. The tool tray has a cutout for a 1-gallon paint can or 8” diameter wash pail. Now the best features. Advertised at less than 9lbs, mine weighed in at 7.6lbs, this is less than half the weight of the others you might see. The cost was lower too. Stop looking, forget the rest, this is a great find. You will like it too, highly recommend.

It's a great step stool, very lightweight but yet sturdy and strong. The three steps is great as you can reach much higher things.

I am holding back a star only because i just received it a day ago and dont have a lengthy enough duration to comment on the durability of this. But it is everything they say it is - lightweight, with a little space for your tools on the top and high stable enough that when I reach up even on my tippy toes on the last step, it remains as is. I was so impressed with how lightweight it was as I had ordered several things and was wondering how to carry this up when they were delivered. but i literally hooked it over my wrist and carried the other boxed together with it and went up the elevator!! Also, It is such an easy snap shut and pull-open folding mechanism, it squeezes into a tiny space i have in my apartment closet. One caveat, I use it around a medium sized apartment that has relatively tall ceilings than usual. It works well with my nails and powerdrill to carry around as i put up shelves and lighting. I am not sure how it would work for more heavy duty work. And it's a nice height for my apartment, may be too high for smaller apartments/low ceilings.

Light weight, strong, stable. Two in our two-story house and a gift to our daughter.

Its bigger than I expected, but that has been a good thing. I purchased it to reach things on the top shelf of my pantry but since its bigger than expected I've used it for so many other things. Its nice not having to go to the garage and grab a full size step ladder

This ladder is nice and light, yet strong enough for use around the house for reaching up to those difficult to reach cupboards.

EXCELENTE ARTICULO

These ladders are great because you feel very secure when you are up on them. I am in my early seventies and I used to do a lot of renovations etc. but now I feel a little queasy about climbing to change light bulbs in the shower or getting heavy platters down for Thanksgiving so I really appreciate a 'good feeling' on a ladder.
