Heavy and too bulky to use everyday in the kitchen.

July 18, 2016

Size: 3 StepVerified Purchase

I'm a very short lady so instead of dragging over a dining room chair over to reach the top cabinets, I decided to buy this 3-step folding ladder so I can easily store it away in my pantry.

Pros: Very well made and will last a really long time. Tall enough to reach the highest part of my kitchen cabinets.

Cons: Heavy for a really petite woman and really bulky when collapsed. Has a big footprint and took too much room in my pantry so I have to stow it away in my hallway closet.

Sturdy Step Stool But A Bit Heavy

December 12, 2012

Size: 3 StepVerified Purchase

I frequently use this step stool for watering my hanging houseplants and for reaching the top of my storage shelves. It's quite portable and can be easily opened up or closed. The dimensions of the step stool when it's closed are 44-1/2" x 20-3/4" x 2" (measured at their widest points). The load capacity is 200 lbs.

The only downside is it's bit heavy (12-13 lbs according to my bathroom scale) because it's constructed of steel. Rubbermaid makes an aluminum version of this 3-Step stool, which according to their specs is slightly lighter at 9 lbs. Curiously, the aluminum version has a higher load capacity (225 lbs). I hadn't seen the aluminum version and wish I had bought the aluminum one instead. Oh well...

I'm 175 lbs and the step stool has no problem supporting my weight. The 200 lbs load limit seems to be very conservative. The stool feels sturdy enough to hold a lot more weight.

The heights for the 3 steps are:

Step 3 -- 26-1/2" (or 2 feet 2-1/2 inches)
Step 2 -- 17-1/2" (or 1 feet 5-1/2 inches)
Step 1 -- 9-1/4"

---
The quality of this step stool is excellent, but I would recommend the aluminum version of this step stool instead. [Update 2012-12-30] A shopper pointed out (correctly) in the comments section that the aluminum version of this step stool has narrow steps, which makes it harder to balance on them. As a result, I'm retracting my recommendation of the aluminum version. If balance is a concern, this ladder would be a better choice.

One of my BEST PURCHASES!!

October 28, 2016

Size: 3 StepVerified Purchase

Oh i luv it! Its sturdy n well-built. More than worth the money. It doesn't wobble and I feel VERY SECURE standing on it. it can hold a lot of weight. It was more than what I expected and it is perfect for me and what I needed it for. Plus several other uses. I am 5' 2" and I used to have to tiptoe and reach high worrying that I would drop or break something, or get my son or a chair...now I get my step and can reach high, feel safe going up and down and get what I want when i want it. It folds easily and slides right between my dryer & the wall and doesn't take up space like a plain step stool would. It is sturdy, but not heavy and I am able to carry it all over my home and place things and get things off of high shelves. I used to use the heavy wooden ladder n would struggle with it all over the house, but the folding step stool is perfect. I can now clean the ceiling fans, tall windows, set valances, and high areas with floral arrangements and decorate my home with ease..not having to dread cleaning and getting out the ladder. It's PERFECT!!

Sturdy and well made 3-step ladder

May 14, 2017

Size: 3 StepVerified Purchase

Rubbermaid really makes some exceptional products and this is really one of them. The 3-step ladder gives you about 27 inches of reach at the top of the ladder and it's compact enough to fit in any storage area (I chose to store it next to a small gap near my refrigerator and I mainly use it for the kitchen). The maximum capacity for the ladder is about 200 pounds, but it can easily manager a few additional pounds of weight. The sturdiness of the design makes me feel well supported and reassured that whatever I'm doing at the top of the ladder that the ladder itself can easy support me which in of itself a great feeling when you're purchasing a ladder. It's surprisingly pretty heavy to hold. It's about 13 pounds and might be a chore for the wife/girlfriend moving the ladder around folding it and unfolding it.

My answers to the frequently asked questions:

What is the height of the top step??

27.25-inches at the top.

I weigh 210-lbs. Should I look elsewhere?

The maximum capacity for this is 200 pounds, but it's extremely sturdy and might be able to handle your weight.

Are all the steps the same size?

Yes they are.

I definitely recommend for any kitchen/house area that needs that extra height to reach.

If She's Happy, I'm Delirious

October 13, 2017

Size: 3 StepVerified Purchase

I bought this at the request of my sainted mother who can still change a light bulb or dust the top of her refrigerator, but she needed something safe to stand on.
I let her look over the possibilities and she picked this one with that steadying handle you can see there. It really will fold up and go between the ice box and the cabinetry, and I think the weight was around 8.7 lbs. or so. Anyway, I had it delivered to her condo for her and she was amazed at how fast it got there. She reported to me that it was properly packaged, undamaged and relatively easy for an elderly dowager to get opened.
I like Rubbermaid stuff on principle, she's happy, I'm happy, and there you have it in a nutshell.
Buy early and buy often.

Everyone should own a ladder like this!!

May 1, 2018

Size: 3 StepVerified Purchase

Had a prior step ladder just like this one that I used constantly. Finally the ladder just would not open anymore. I really like my new ladder and think the handle is even a little higher than my old one which I love. Makes me feel even safer. I would recommend this for anyone. I am getting older and will not get on a regular ladder anymore so this type of ladder comes in handy. The ladder is sturdy not cheap like others I have seen, easy to fold and store. I can easily carry the ladder around. It is comfortable to stand on. I highly recommend this ladder. Also, it has feet on it to protect your floors. Previously I had bought a safety ladder but it was bulky, heavy and difficult to use and I ended up giving it away and thus type of ladder works better for me.
