Werner 150B ladders, 2 feet, Aluminum

I recently moved to a small apartment and wanted a small foot stool/ladder that could be used for not just reaching tall shelves and kitchen cabinets, but for sitting as well. This Werner is perfect for my needs! It's compact, super lightweight, and easy to move from room to room with one hand. The feet are coated so I don't have to worry about scuffing up my hardwood floors.I'm an adult male, 158 lbs, 5" 6". Standing on the second step, I can reach all my shelves with ease. Standing on the third step, my head is only a few inches from touching the ceiling. Because it's so useful (and the fact that I have no furniture yet!), I've been keeping it out permanently in my kitchen to sit on while I eat or put on my shoes. It's perfectly comfortable to sit on like a bar stool and I can put my feet on the steps. Functional, sturdy, well-made, and the price can't be beat!UPDATE 2/17/15: It has been almost 2 years since I moved in and I continue to use this step stool around my apartment. I love it. At the time of writing, the item cost $29.

Nice little ladder.Strong and steady.

I was in trouble. My almost 300lb weight lifting significant other refused to do any more home repairs for me until a found a stepstool that would hold his weight. The best the hardware store could do was a 250lb step stool. So I said a prayer and looked on Amazon. Behold! I found this step stool. Now my house won't fall apart!This is a small step stool, about 2' high, and narrow. It's very lightweight. When my almost 300lb handyman hops on it, it doesn't sag or bend or give. I'm really impressed that such a lightweight, petite stool can take the abuse we heap upon it. Folded, it is small enough to sit in a corner of our coat closet.Be careful not to pinch your fingers on the side latches when folding and unfolding it. They are functional and obviously do the job, but could easily catch a finger.This is a great buy! I'll be looking for a matching ladder soon.

I needed some elevation (I'm 5'8'') to clean the roof of my SUV so I bought the step stool. I like cleaning my car instead of paying $20 for a job half done most of the time. Extra 2 feet was perfect for me. The steps are narrow and steep so if you are over 6 feet or have unusually large feet like other reviewers mentioned, the size maybe a problem for you. However, since it's compact it's easy to fold and put it to your trunk whenever you go to a car wash.The frame and truss are made of aluminum with decent thickness. I'm 165lbs and I feel it can handle 100lbs more without a problem. It's stiff and the rivets are tight so when you are getting on and off the tool it feels stable. The Vinyl foot pads are thick too giving good amount of stiffness. Note that if you don't have something to hold on when climbing or getting on the tool it's easier to do it sideways.Remember it's a step tool, if you use it for something else like in carpentry to hold large ply boards while you're cutting with electric saw, then it may not perform well or even may cause you an accident.For $40, I couldn't complain. Well recommended.

I have been using werner ladders for years they are great and dependable But I was disappointed when the yellow top step and foot pegs arrived. I seen this style before in Home Depot but on Amazon they showed the black top and black foot tips in picture and this is why I ordered from Amazon. I find the yellow top has no business to be used outside because when it gets dirty and discolored I can't bring it into use in a customer's house and that's why Werner needs to have that option for the original black step ladder that I have been using since 1983. Yellow?????

This step stool is just the right size to store under my utility sink in my laundry room. The stool is light weight yet very sturdy. The steps are not steep very easy to climb. I may purchase another one for my garage. Amazon.com had the cheapest price.

everybody needs a boost once in a while

Handy and sturdy!
