3.0 out of 5 stars not for little kids, August 18, 2008

PROS -- it's lightweight and portable and storable. It's sturdy when it's open and easy to use if you are just trying to reach up a bit higher for something.
CONS -- it does slide on linoleum, though not with adult weight on it. I bought it thinking it would be a spacesaving, inexpensive option for my child to reach the sink and counters since it's a little higher than those two-step kids' stepstools, but a young child on it, pushing against a counter trying to reach forward, can slide it backwards. Plus, because of the slant in the back, the step is a few inches away from the counter/cabinets and leveraging little toes against it while reaching forward makes it even more likely to slide on a linoleum floor. So if you are also thinking of putting a kid on it instead of a space-hogging heavy block-type stepstool, keep looking.

The top step is sturdy and textured so that you won't slip on it, but it's not a very wide step, so it's only great for reaching for things. I wouldn't stand on it for doing things like painting or installing something.

I've had this stool for a couple years & am constantly suprised at the uses I am able to find for it. It is very stable & folds up easily to a very slim silhouette - easy for putting away in a closet.

This review is from: Rubbermaid 4209 EZ Step Folding Stool, 2-Step, White (Tools & Home Improvement)

I got this for my kitchen to reach the highest shelves way in the back stuff. I am 6ft tall but still couldn't reach everything. I'm a size 16 so I am no small person but well under the weight limit. I have many physical disabities and arthritis and it works well for an older person like me.

I tried the stool first thing and it is very sturdy, no wobble or feeling like it was not going to support me. It locks in place when open. I was delighted too to find that it stands freely when closed. I can keep it between the stove and counter so no running to farthest room in the house to get the other step stool.

I can highly recommend this product. I might add that I am afraid of heights and I can stand on the top step just fine, one more step and no way I'd do it.
