17.5 in Folding Step Stool with Safety Lock, Holds 400 lbs
Seventeen and a half inches of reach that folds flat and slides behind a door, with a pin lock that clicks when the legs are out so it cannot fold under you. Holds up to 400 pounds, with reinforced bottom corners, a movable handle and non slip rubber on the feet and across the platform.
What you're getting
- Seventeen and a half inches of reach, which covers most top shelves without a ladder
- Pin lock clicks when the legs are out, so it cannot fold while someone is standing on it
- Holds up to 400 pounds, with reinforced plastic at the four bottom corners
- Non slip rubber on the feet and non slip dots across the platform
- Folds flat to slide behind a door, into a closet or under a bed
Why we picked it
The top shelf in a small kitchen ends up holding whatever you never use, purely because reaching it means dragging a chair over. A stool that locks open and folds to a few inches solves that without costing floor space, which is the whole trade in an apartment. The lock is the feature to care about, since the failure mode on cheap folding stools is folding.
