Questions & Answers

Could someone please confirm the height of the red from the floor to the top step? On other colors, the information is different. ?

Mine is a 14-inch red piece with a 14-inch diameter. From the ground to the top step is 5 inches (30 cm). When it's pressed down (i.e. when it's pressed down, it's pressed It loses a half inch when someone stands on it, so it's 14 inches (29 cm) when it's in use.

How big is it? What is the diameter and height of the base?

as stated in the summary The dimensions of the product are 16 x 16 x 9 inches. This is an excellent product, and I frequently use mine.

In the past, this style of step stool was made much sturdier; do you know where I can get one that is made stronger and sturdier? Thanks. ?

I just got one and put it together, and it's very sturdy. It is possible, however, to assemble the stools incorrectly, resulting in the top not being completely locked into the base. If you're not sure, read my review.

I'm debating whether to get the metal or the plastic version. Has anyone had any issues with the metal stool causing damage to their kitchen cabinets?

I have the Cramer 1001 in red. I've been using the 43 Kik step rolling stool for a while now and haven't had any issues with it scratching my kitchen cabinets. Part of it, I believe, is due to the rubber bumper on the bottom, as well as the angled slant of the base's shape, which keeps the stool away from the cabinet face.

I guess we were both 33 years old when we fell in love with the wrong height person
5/5

My wife and I are both 5'3" tall, so we're both short. She believes she is a few inches taller than she actually is! I'm still on it and haven't fallen off. We recently constructed a home with tall kitchen cabinets (for what reason?). We needed something to help us reach the higher shelves but didn't want to lug a ladder around with us. This works well and can simply be "kicked around" to the desired location for use, with the wheels retracting as soon as you step on it. The layout is excellent. I should've married a woman who was a few inches taller. I'm not sure why she didn't seek out a man who was taller. I guess we were both 33 years old when we fell in love with the wrong height person.

The model is identical to that of a professional
5/5

After 27 years of working in libraries, I finally admitted that I needed this stool at home. It's well-made, durable, and convenient. I can reach my book shelves and cabinets from here, and it's also convenient to sit on while looking through low cabinets. (I can no longer sit on the floor or get up if I accomplish this feat. ) It's not necessary for you to take it. All you have to do is push it with your foot. When you put weight on the wheels, they retract. The furniture and baseboards are protected by rubber bumpers. In addition, a non-profit organization Place a rubber pad at the top of the step and take a step. No way! I'm not tipping! I chose the red because, well, it's RED. My husband is now interested in getting one for his garage.

This is an excellent product! It hasn't changed in thousands of years! These units remind me of my high school years
5/5

I used to work after school at a 1970s school library. They are extremely durable and last an indefinite amount of time. It's convenient to have this around now that I'm in my 60s and can reach items on the top shelves of the kitchen. It's also very convenient to use because I can move it around to wherever I need it. Mine is a bright red color, which I really like. Unlike the institutional brown of the "good old days. " " I'd buy it again, and I've recommended it to friends who have passed by and seen it. Many people had never seen one before, but they were blown away when they saw how easily it rolls around and how steadfast it becomes when stepped on.

What is the reason for the higher price of red? I worked as a library clerk during my college years
5/5

I had a lot of books to shelve, and these stools came in handy. My current home, however, has high shelves, which not everyone in my family can reach easily. There is a folding step in our house, but it is unsightly and inconvenient. These were on my mind, and they were right in front of me. It works as well as I remember it and looks nice enough to leave out all the time; simply kick it into place and step up; no hands are required if you have good balance. The only issue was that we couldn't decide which floor it should be kept on. So I went back and placed an order for a blue one. br>br>The only strange thing is that the red is ten dollars more expensive than the other colors.

solid, sturdily constructed, and easily transportable
5/5

precisely what I was looking for: solid, sturdy, rolls over throw rugs easily with a push of my foot, and moves in the direction I push it; I like that it has an all-around rubber bumper so I can kick it around without having to bend over; The two short steps do not throw me off balance as much as a single high step would. There is plenty of space for walking and the surfaces are non-slip. slip; It doesn't take much pressure to immobilize it, so stepping up on it won't make it move; I don't think it'll ever fall over. very sturdy construction (just like in the old days) - note: The top piece is permanently and securely attached once it is snapped into place.

Stool with Wheels that is Extremely Convenient! Yes, this stool does have wheels, which may sound strange
5/5

Step on it (even lightly) and whoop, thanks to the light springs, the stool is now firmly planted on the ground. Remove the weight, and the stool is ready to move again (I reposition with my feet). br>br>This is especially useful for shorter people who need to reach something high up or where the stool needs to change position frequently, such as cleaning a car's top. Our pano roof is in desperate need of cleaning, but I'm too short to reach it. So, I use this stool, and it stays firmly in place while I clean, even though I'm still leaning fairly far forward; it won't shoot out from under you, but it should be adult weight. I'm not sure what would happen if a lighter person leaned too far forward; the springs are fairly sensitive, so it doesn't take much weight for it to firmly plant itself. This thing is fantastic, and it comes in a variety of colors. br>br> When I need to clean somewhere else, I simply guide it along the side of the car with my feet, and I'm cleaning again.

incredibly tough I adore it! I bought it as a stepping stone to getting on my stationary bike after breaking my left foot two months ago and being concerned about relying solely on it as I climb into the saddle
5/5

The step stool is simple to assemble and feels solid and durable. I considered a number of other options before settling on this one because of its wide but circular base (due to the limited space available) and larger top step surface. I recall seeing these types of step stools in school libraries when I was a kid. This is an excellent film. The steel is sturdy, and the rubber surface is comfortable to stand on. It gives me complete peace of mind when I'm getting on and off my bike. And the red is both adorable and gleaming.

Durable as well as adorable! This is my second stool; the first, which I purchased about 20 years ago and now keeps in the garage, is still in use
5/5

It's small, sturdy, and adorable enough to keep in my red kitchen. I can not reach 50% of things in my cabinets as 4ft 11 inch gal, so I use this stool every day. When you kick it around, it comes to a complete stop and becomes immovable when you stand on it. It's placed on the ground with great care. The only thing I would advise is to avoid spilling flour on top of it because anything stuck in the grooves is difficult to remove.
