At first the price of these was a bit off putting. But I went ahead and bought them as I knew being short I’d have trouble getting in and out of our new hot tub. When I opened the box I was a little shocked as it was such a simple construction and felt I wasn’t getting my monies worth. But now having used it repeatedly I am sooo thankful I bought this. The non-slip surface is so reassuring when getting out of the hot tub. They don’t slip around when wet either. I’m a little on the heavy side and they handle weight perfectly fine and make getting in and out a little more graceful. It’s pricy but glad I bought them.
