I am presently surprised with this step stool. I admit I chose it for the color but I’m very glad I did. The step stool is extremely sturdy and I don’t feel unsafe using it, even as a plus size gal. It has a safely latch to make sure it can’t close when you don’t want it to. It also folds up very thin and can fit between my refrigerator and wall giving me a place out of the way to store it, yet close enough for me to grab whe￼n I need something off the top shelf. Overall very happy with the step stool and the fun color it came in.
