Quick overview

This one-step stool is designed to add height for tasks around the home, from reaching a shelf to accessing items near a bed or counter. Its listed weight capacity is 400 lb, and a pin structure provides added support. The top’s surface dots and anti-slip rubber feet are designed to help reduce slipping, rounded corners help reduce the chance of bumps during use.

The folding format is useful when you want a step stool available without leaving it set up in the room. When open, use it only on a dry, flat, stable surface. The flexible handle is designed to make folding and unfolding more comfortable, and gives you a place to hold as you move the stool.

Tips for day-to-day use

Set the stool on a dry, level surface before stepping up, and make sure it is fully open. Keep it positioned close to the shelf, counter, or other spot you need to reach so you can use the added height for the task at hand. The rubber feet and dotted top add grip-focused details, while the rounded corners are a practical consideration in homes shared by adults, children, or seniors.

After use, fold it down for storage or to carry it to another room. Its portable design also suits trips where a little extra height may be useful, such as camping. Store it folded away when you want to keep the floor clear between tasks.
