Folding Step Stool Lightweight Bathroom Reviews Summary

Sturdiness and Safety

Pros:

• "This stool is collapsible so easy to store in a small out of the way place, but easy to pick up with the handle, take it to the area you need, open it up and sturdy for an adult."
• "I had a couple of stools break and these do not show any indication of breaking anytime soon."
• "It is super compact folded up (we took it in our suitcase on a flight), but then is super sturdy when in use."
• "Very sturdy as well."
• "It’s very sturdy and easy to open and close."
• "It's very sturdy."
• "It supports all my 140lbs and doesn't feel like it will break. Solid as a rock."

Cons:

• "This stool isn't safe. After the first two times it collapsed on my son I thought maybe he was leaning on it, but the 3rd time I was with him as he was brushing his teeth he went to step off and the thing just flattened."
• "It is WAY to easy to collapse and could easily be dangerous."
• "The plastic construction may not withstand frequent or heavier use, raising concerns about its longevity."
• "Purchased two of these as I could not find them at my local store. BOTH came broken in several parts on the leg, but the box they were packaged in had no damage at all."
• "There is no locking mechanism and the stool folds too easily."
• "The only weird part is that when it’s opened all the way, the two side panels aren’t straight so it seems like it’s not locked."
• "They claim not to use unless locked in place, it doesn't lock in place."

Portability and Storage

Pros:

• "It collapses easily and stores in a small space."

• "It’s small enough to stick next to the fridge and not get in the way."
• "It’s so easy to store because it folds up."
• "Plus it becomes super compact when folded up. I keep it in the trunk of my car and sit on it when doing work on the lower parts of my car."
• "When folded, they’re slim and store anywhere."

Cons:

• "It has pinched his skin once when attempting to open it, so be careful with that."
• "I was hoping this would have a little bit more rubber to it but it is completely plastic. I feel more wobbly on this than the ones I have used that have the rubber."
• "Mine came with a crack in the plastic also. Needless to say it was returned."
• "This one has to be picked up a certain way or you’re likely to pinch a finger so he can’t independently use this."
