Hailo 4392-801 K30 2 Aluminum Folding Step Stool: Lightweight and Versatile Home Accessory Review

Pros below: A small, light, high-quality two-step ladder to reach the upper shelves for people of short stature. Some cons: It's hard to put together, but it's a matter of a little skill.

I needed a stepladder for the house that could hold over 200-220 pounds. I was going through page after page of ladders for sale and came across these. It was a housewarming gift for my daughter/son-in-law. I also got mine back which they borrowed. This one is also one step higher than mine. We are all happy.

I bought these because I weigh 285 and need a secure ladder that can stand. This ladder is not strong. It sags under my weight and my wife's 150 pounds as well. Once on the ladder, it "settles down" with a sharp click, and the legs move quickly about an inch or two as the ladder's legs extend. Do not buy.

We have just received our step stool, it's better quality than I thought it would be! Thank you for selling this fantastic footstool at such a great price. I will enjoy this little helper for many years, I have needed it for over 20 years! I like everything about it: it's light, it has solid rubber handles on the legs and nice wide rubber steps, it folds easily and fits behind the door.

Overall, the staircase is excellent. Thin, light, durable, but if you have small children, they may pinch their fingers. Two of my kids have their fingers stuck in the trigger. When this happened they were 4-5 years old. An adult finger will not be pinched. I thought it would be a good stool for her all things considered, but if you have kids look elsewhere.

I use this stool in my kitchen to reach the top shelves of my very tall cabinets. It's a very sturdy stool and I really like it, but I had a bit of trouble folding it back up after using it. I end up laying it on the ground and using one hand I press the button to release it and with the other hand I press the rear support frame to fold it back up. Maybe with time and use the button won't feel as tight - at least I hope so!

It was a disappointment. No actual weight is given. The details say it weighs 13 ounces. This is clearly impossible. I bought it and it arrived today. Not as easy as I had hoped. He weighs 11 pounds. My wider and stronger steel weighs 17 pounds. Not as much of an improvement as I had hoped. I'm posting a picture of the display glued to it and it says it's 30% lighter than similar steel step stools. This is about right for my similar steel step stool. If the Revain ad said I wouldn't buy it.

We bought this step stool to give access to the top shelves of our kitchen cabinets which top is 8ft off the floor. It seemed perfect for our needs because: 1) the third step was required to reach the top shelves; 2) Wide metal steps fixed when open; 3) The compactness of the stool when open, which fits perfectly anywhere you need it and brings you closer to the closets; 4) The compactness of the folded stool takes up little space; 5) The width fits perfectly in the corner in the hallway just…
