My new bed was too high for me to get into as I am only 5' tall.  I have a bad back so I needed a step to help me get into bed comfortably.  I love the bedroom set (that I got from Wayfair) so this was just what I need to help me enjoy my new bed.  It's just the right height and size.  It doesn't get in the way of making the bed but gives me that lift up that I need to get in and out of bed.  You have to put it together, but I did it myself and it really wasn't hard.  

Pros: size and quality
Cons: price - a little on the expensive side for a stool (but I used my reward points so it that made it ok)
