We got this for my mom to help her into her high Tempurpedic bed because she has Rheumatoid arthritis and it's very hard for her to climb into the bed.  The stool is very sturdy and looks great, but I gave it a 4 because the feet are very slippery on a laminate flooring surface like ours, so that's potentially dangerous.  We have a rubber fatigue mat under it now and will have to find something grippy to put on the "feet".
