Excellent foot stool
Drive Medical Bariatric Heavy Duty Foot Stool #13037-1<br /><br />This is a strong, stable, and safe, foot stool.  They are so good, I own four of them.  Drive Medical and Design is a major manufacturer of medical equipment and supplies for hospitals and other medical facilities, and if this stool is any indication, they make first-rate products.  Next time you're in a hospital or doctor's office, look around and chances are you'll see this brand of stand.  I'm 6/4 and 270 lbs., and this thing doesn't flex even a little, when I step on it.<br /><br />Dimensions: 11" x 14" tread, 9" height. The legs/feet flare out slightly for a depth of 14" and width of 16.5", for outstanding stability.  Absolutely rock solid and non-tipping, even if you stand on the outer edge.  According to my postal scale, the stool weighs 6 lbs.; it doesn't feel heavy at all.  (This is the size & weight of MY stools; slightly different from Amazon's description.)<br /><br />The stool has large slip-resistant rubber feet on 1" chrome-plated steel legs.  The tread is thick, ribbed, slip-resistant rubber that has stuck well on my stools, and the welded cross-braced frame is so strong, the stool is rated at an impressive 500 lbs.  Drive Medical makes a lighter (5 lb.) stool, the model #13030-1, but it lacks the cross-bracing and is rated at [only] 300 lbs.  For just a few dollars more, get this excellent cross-braced unit for the safest foot stool available.<br /><br />Between the standard chrome plated and the "silver vein" models of this foot stool, the latter is more attractive and looks more expensive.
