A Very Handy Item With a Caution or Two.
This is a very handy, well-made stool. It is indeed heavy duty. There are two problems that need to be addressed.<br /><br />1) The Amazon description stated that the weight limit is 500 pounds. The tag included with the stool stated 300 pounds. Which is it? That is a 200 pound variation. I contacted the company via email to ask that question and they did not answer me. So, that is something to consider—making me wonder if the company backs up its product. At this point I can’t say.<br /><br />2) Being a heavy person, beware that you do not put your hand on the handle and use it as support to step up because before your weight is on the stool—your hand on the handle can cause the stool to tip since your weight is on the handle but not yet on the stool securing it to the ground.<br /><br />With those things in mind, this stool is hearty, well-made and very handy.
