In the past I've handled such chores as many do -- with some makeshift stool or step, a convenient chair, overturned milk crate, what-have-you. But finally I realized: eating rice & peas by mistake is no way to live. So I broke down and ordered this Rubbermaid 3-Step Steel Stool.
I'm happy I did. There are less expensive step-stools, sure, but this one is worth the few extra bucks.
It arrived promptly, ahead of schedule, despite being shipped via UPS (who should never be trusted for residential deliveries). Made of hollow steel tubing and thick rubber steps, it's unlikely to arrive damaged, even shipped (as it was) in a snug box with no padding. It comes fully assembled, though you will need some sort of cutting instrument, scissors or a pocket knife, to remove some of the packing material.
It seems plenty sturdy. It's made of steel, after all. It includes good solid rubber mounts on the legs, to prevent sliding or slipping, and to protect your flooring. There's also a small automatic latch that prevents accidental folding once the ladder is deployed. The rubber steps are grooved, so you won't lose your footing.
It's more than tall enough for occasional interior household chores like changing light bulbs or hanging pictures. But it also folds compactly for storage, and is light enough that I can easily carry it in one hand. Even homeowners who need and have a full-scale ladder will find this one convenient and valuable for lesser reaches.
If there's one drawback, it's the thing's appearance. The steel tubing is painted a sort of pewter-grey, and the steps and feet are dull black. It looks like a tool, something utilitarian, something that belongs in the garage, out of sight. Fortunately, it folds so easily and compactly that you can hide it away most anywhere.
I'll be stashing mine in the hall closet...after I use it to change the light bulb in there, too. I don't expect there's any rice & peas lurking in my hall closet. But you never know.
I debated between this one & the old retro "classic Grandma's combo chair/step stool" version which I remember growing up. I really wanted to get the Grandma version (partially for the benefit of my own kids) but read several negative reviews about the quality & thus safety of the modern version, & so opted for this one instead. (At least for the time being.) I do wish it had a somewhat padded top step for my young kids since they do like to sit on the top step. It is a little bit heavier than I expected but that likely ensures more stability. My goal was less dragging of the chairs from the kitchen table around the kitchen/rooms of the house...just will take a bit more muscle now.
Some reviewers of stepstools mention uneven legs on the floor. I did notice that in certain positions; however attribute that to my floors not being completely level. I simply reposition it.
So far, it is easy enough for my 9 y/o to maneuver. My 5 & 7 y/os like to step/sit on it as well. The steps are sized nicely. I just may consider adding some padding to the top step as we most likely will just use the bottom 2 for stepping on! :)

- "Lock" latch allows the ladder to easily collapse
- Handle at the top makes it easier to transport around
- Feet feel sturdy
CONS:
- None that I can think of!
General notes:
I have really high cupboards at my house and this step ladder does the trick. It's easy to fold out and feels sturdy. When you want to store it, pressing on the latch easily collapses the folder. I like how it doesn't take up a lot of space and I'm able to store it in my closet against the wall.
Me gusto que se puede plegar por lo que puedes guardarla en cualquier lugar y que tiene un seguro para que no se pueda cerrar cuando esta abierta por lo que te da seguridad al subirte en ella. El peso máximo son 200 libras (aprox 90 kg) por lo que hay que tener cuidado (si pesas mas de eso no te sirve), la altura que se alcanza es suficiente para la casa.
El precio me parece que es justo por que es metalica y esta bien construida y es muy firme no se mueve nada cuando escalas por ella.
