Well, I hate to burst bubbles here, but I weigh 106 pounds and had one of those plastic folding steps. Notice I said "had" the thing collapsed under me when I was standing on it. And No, I was not using it improperly, I was not on the edge of it. I was in the middle. The thing just collapsed and I had a fall. I am thinking it may have been the plastic just got tired and old as I had had it a couple of years. Now I have a nice metal step stool that is much handier and safer. three steps so can be used in a multitude of ways. So, really think about that step stool. Do you care if it gives way under you?
