This LUSTIG Aluminum Step Stool is wonderful in every way! It comes in several colors to choose from,so its modern looking,not just a blah color.It arrived in such a thin box,I was surprised at how INCREDIBLY FLAT it folds.Wow! I have a tiny space between my refrigerator and the wall and it slides right in with room to spare.You could tuck it most anywhere and it would take up almost zero space.Very convenient. When you open it up, there are 2 very sturdy steps.I am 6 feet tall,280 pounds and the Step Stool handled me with zero strain.It has a weight capacity of 300 pounds,the reason I ordered it.It has a little hook lever that locks the Stool in position when Open.I will use this Stool constantly,and it is well made,super sturdy,nice looking,folds flat to take up almost no space,a great Step Stool! I highly recommend it.
