Reliable Extra Few Inches
I hate that they call this a "bariatric" footstool, I think that it might scare away consumers who aren't dealing with a serious weight problem. I bought this after falling off of a different stool and seriously injuring my leg. The stool is VERY SOLID and has been used by everyone in the household. It's also the perfect size for an under-desk footrest, so that's where mine is stored. It is only a few inches tall, so you're not going to be climbing into the attic with it but as a 5'8" woman, I have the reach of about a 6'2" man (remember, our arms are also shorter). It's great for basic around the house stuff (cleaning the top of the fridge, hanging a curtain, reaching the very back of an upper cabinet, etc.) and I don't have to worry about it being wobbly (even if I put all of my weight on the outer edge with one foot). I also don't worry about the kids breaking it, it seems pretty indestructible (and has made a great time-out stool!). Overall, love the product but hate the name.
