The maximum standing height is nine inches, and it easily folds away for convenient storage. It’s a great step up for the kitchen, bathroom, closets, RV's, and all those hard-to-reach areas. The lightweight, but sturdy folding step stool is easy to use because it opens with one flip of the hand. The anti-skid foot-pads feature makes it safety certified and passes ANSI III requirements. 300 lb. capacity with grip-dot textured surface makes the folding step stool safe for everyone, including kids. (Disregard Old Product Sticker with 200 lb. Limit. This Product is now Approved for 300 lb.).
