This is a lovely addition to the bedroom. BUT HUGE WARNING!!! Do not use this for anything but stepping into bed!!!! I am currently sitting with my foot elevated with ice and a wrapped for compression. I was just trying to use it to reach something on the shelf in the closet, seems ok right a cute step to help me reachNO!!! It is not sturdy and it tipped over sending me flying and my foot came down and landed on the side of the step so painful!!! I will go to the Dr tomorrow I dont think I broke it but a bad sprain is so painful I hope I can walk by Thursday when I need to go back to work. Can not walk on my foot at this point. I am not very old and am very fit low weight. I would not recommend this to anyone older or fragile very dangerous!!!!!!
