Cosco1 Step Molded Folding Step Stool, Type 1A, Black, Orange, and Gray

I actually ordered this to do a step stool exercise recommended by my physiotherapist, and it will be absolutely perfect for that, although I'm sure it will come in handy as a normal step stool as well. It really is extremely sturdy and well made, and I don't doubt it lives up to its high weight bearing rating, probably more so than any other folding step stool. It takes a few openings to break in the locking mechanism - make sure you click it all the way into place - and it's a bit narrow, as you can see in my photo (with my men's size 10.5 foot), but again, it's literally perfect for my use, and still totally adequate for normal step stool use. Really pleased with this purchase.

This works perfect for what I had hoped--swapping recessed light bulbs and doing general work on ceiling items without needing to drag my average size aluminum ladder around my house. I am ~6' 215 lbs and this is easy to work with and feels solid, plus has low profile rubber feet on the bottom for added stability.I just used it to screw a wide return air duct grille back onto a ceiling opening (2 of the 3 screws were on either end of the grille) and the smallish top area of this stool caused no issues performing the task.The center portion which slides into a slot to lock or collapse the stool is held in place by two sections of slightly raised hard plastic in the middle of the slot, one of which didn't have as much tension as the other--so I've docked a star for less than ideal build quality. I doubt it will pop out of position when locked, but if they do eventually wear down over time the looser one will make the unit fail sooner than the other.

Love these. Very solid. And NO slip. I use these for descending squats, for jump squats, and weighted step ups. Not sure the force I'm putting on these with each "soft" jump, not sure the manufacturer would approve lol but I'm 130 lbs and they are solid as ole get out with no shifting.

Very portable, light, and solid! Overall great step-stool for volleyball referees who need a boost on stands to reach the minimum required height above men's/ women's nets when officiating as R1! At 5 ft 8 and roughly 140 lbs, I've had no issues with it holding me up for hours at a time during multiple-day tournaments. Was also able to fit it in both my backpack and carry-on suitcase for travel!

I bought this stool for my 5ft Mom who sometimes needs a little extra height to reach few things in the kitchen. Previous folding stool folded in the middle of the standing platform and it started to buckle under her weight. Having the Cosco step platform in one piece and the non slip legs makes it sturdier and safer . She is happy with this one.
