Great stool once you figure out how to put it together. The “directions” are all but useless. If you need detailed directions to assemble things and can’t do it on instinct alone then stay away from this one! You don’t even get a picture of the assembled product to guide you. That being said, if you do manage to get it together it is a sturdy, good quality step stool that will serve you well which it should be given the $81 price tag.
