Tools and Hardware Reviews of B&R Plastics 105-4BK Black EZ Foldz Two-Step Stool
Customer Review: Dimension clarification/returns a problem/hard to open/shut--revised
Summary: 3 Stars
This stool appears to be well made but I was looking for a 24" tall step stool for my kitchen and the dimensions as printed on amazon's page led me to believe it was 23.5" tall...but it is 17" tall. I hope that helps someone else to know that it is exactly what they want or not because when I discovered that it was not what I needed I put it right back in the box and took it to UPS to return it and found out that it would cost me $44 to return it, primarily due to the oversize box dimensions required to ship it. They looked up USPS parcel post as well and it was well over $20. Hardly worth returning and so now I own the darn thing whether I want it or not. I did contact the company and got the standard "not our responsibility", etc.
The other thing I would add is that it is not an easy open/shut stool. It is a two-handed process involving some effort and in the kitchen I need something I can shake open pretty easily and quickly. Perhaps it loosens up over time but on initial try, I was wary about that aspect of it. Really had to push down on the top to get it to go flat. But well made. Just be sure you want it in spite of the above.
***After leaving the above, I received an email from the seller offering to send me a prepaid mailing label to return the item and also indicating that they will contact amazon to have the dimensions amended. I was happy to see a much more flexible response on their part so would improve my star rating to 4 stars based on that...
Customer Review: Grab One While You Can
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great stool. The manufacturer makes a one-step and a two-step version of this. The smaller one comes in colors, but I think the two-step only comes in black or white at the time of this writing.
What makes this step stool nice is that it is a very dense plastic. It's not that flimsy stuff that you usually find. Our 250-pound handyman used our stool and was so impressed that he wanted to know where he could purchase one.
It is also very well engineered and assembled. It folds easily, and it snaps into place securely. When folded, the cutout in the step forms a handhold for carrying.
This is one of those products that you know will last for years. I'm glad I own both the one- and two-step versions. They come in very handy.
Customer Review: folds nicely after a few times
Summary: 4 Stars
At first, the stool is hard to fold, but a few weeks after we got it, it is getting easier. I love the height of it and the fact that it folds, but it is much much bigger (at the base) than I thought. I was more interested in the height, so I'm sure I didn't notice the measurements aside from that, but I am still surprised at how much space it uses. I needed something for my son to use to be able to reach our tall bathroom and kitchen sinks, and I wanted it to fold so I could tuck it away, and for both purposes, it works perfectly. I just wish it were a bit smaller!Customer Review: Very usefull for industrial electrician.
Summary: 5 Stars
Far better then standing on a bucket when you do not quite need a A-frame pulled out ;P Light and sturdy top working platform with nice amount of foot room. Non slip rubberized pads work well on concrete and wood surfaces and wet locations. Personal note, if you work in dusty/wet locations (like a concrete plant) do not get the black one, the top has a non stick rough surface and can get a little dusty/dirty ;)
Even makes a half decent seat when squatting in front of a junction box for hours (but bring a rag to sit on)
Customer Review: Step stool
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished a kitchen remodel. We removed our soffits and installed cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling, meaning, of course that I can't reach the top shelf. I also needed a step stool that would fit in my pantry closet-no sense having to store the step stool in the basement....This product was exactly what I needed and exactly as described. Amazon had the best price also.
