I have this.
Every time I use this thing it feels like it's going to give out under me, you can never get it fully opened by hand so it will "settle" while you're on it. I'm only 200lbs on a bad day and when I'm carrying and positioning a mirror, that settling is incredibly unnerving.

Maybe that's the experience with all step stools but just thought I'd share my 2 cents.

"Reach height" for a step stool, good grief. For those who aren't the model human that they measured for that stat, the top step is 2'2" off the ground.

Calm down Napoleon! I have this exact same stepstool and I just took a tape measure and the top step is 26 inches off the ground and I'm 5'11" I have 9' ceilings and standing on the top step I can reach up and put my hand flat on the ceiling. So even if you're 4'11" you can still reach an 8 foot shelf. Those are the facts because I just did it. And I'll get ahead of the comment about the 225 pound weight limit. They have to put some kind of number on it 225 pounds wasn't the catastrophic failure collapsing that happened during testing. That was probably 325 or 425 but they know that you're also going to be carrying something in your hand. I weigh 220 pounds and I've used it a lot for hanging stuff with heavy drills, etc. and it feels very stable. An excellent buy at $20 to have around the house.

I've had this stool for years, very sturdy, opens and closes easy, lite enough for the wife to maneuver. Worth every bit of $20.

Same here. I am buying a 2nd one now because the first one has worked great for over a year and feels quite sturdy so this is a great deal. I'm nowhere near 200lbs so if you are 200lbs or more then yeah this probably won't be the safest option for you, but for me it is great.

Commenting just to fully confirm this. Even my gf says every time "remember what happens at the top step!" Literally feels like it just wants to collapse. Don't think I've ever used it without going "whoa!"

We have two of these. Great for high shelves in kitchen/pantry. One for light garage work.

I have this stool. It will definitely hold 225 lbs, though it'd be sketchy. If you weigh 175 lbs, get something else. I weigh 160 lbs and when I get on the top step, it feels a bit wobbly. I personally wouldn't consider this a robust ladder. I did shop around for alternatives, but couldn't find anything this size, unfortunately. I have their 2-step stool and that one is great. This one, not so much.

weird i have this too and have no issues with it at all. high enough to reach anything at my place and quite compact and sturdy. only bad thing is they shipped it with no packaging and it arrived with scratches in the paint so it's kinda ugly/beat up looking. i'm 175lb 6' fwiw . i'd probably feel good on this up to around 200lbs . the claimed 225 is probably pushing it

The days of $10 for these 3-step ladders seem long gone.
