Review on Folding Step Stool 13 Inch - Anti-Skid & Sturdy for Adults and Kids | Easy One-Flip Opening | Versatile Use in Kitchen, Bathroom, Bedroom | Black by Bob Moonin

Luckily I bought this as a stand to elevate the dehumidifier for easier emptying. This is normal in such conditions as the weight is well under 200lbs. I would NEVER trust it to hold a man of around 200 pounds, especially since getting on and off it requires a lot of movement. Platform. That's not the way. There is no way to fasten the boards in line with the step, but they partially fold inwards. There's no fixed locking tab to hold the sides in place, just a notch under the top. Even with the weight of the dryer on it, the sides flex and move slightly with the gentle pressure of my fingers. I didn't have an issue, but I understand why some of the other reviews had issues with tread cracking. It was only sent in a plastic bag. With all the other weight it fell with, in addition to the flimsy plastic, it could have cracked easily.
