We really like this step stool! We have a dark wood queen sized 4 poster that sits very high and have wanted a step that would match it for a very long time. We knew this was the one as soon as we saw it. The only drawback was that it was out of stock (must be a popular model). Once we were able to order, though, it was here practically overnight. It was very well packaged, so no shipping damage, and fully assembled so all I had to do was take it out of the box and set it next to the bed. It looks and works great!
