Q: If I am 5"7, what height can I reach from the top step
A: Hello! The top step is 28.74 inches high. If you are 5'7", you can reach 7'11". Thank you!
submitted byCosco Home and Office Products - 4 years agoBrand expertA: Previous answer is silly. At 5'7, your arms extend above your head 12-18"—if straining to reach, 'tippytoes' likely adds about 3": so, fingers r in the neighborhood of 9.5 ft.

Q: Would this rust if left outside?
A: Due to its steel construction, rust would be a definite concern, particularly around the joints and crevices. This step stool is recommended for indoor use only. For outdoor use, perhaps something aluminum would be more suitable. Thank you for your question and enjoy your day!

Q: Is this step stool easy to open and close? I have arthritis in one of my hands which makes it difficult to open and close things at time.
A: This is a good question. The step stool has an easy release lock, so opening and closing should be rather easy and secure, especially once it's been opened and closed a few times to get the mechanisms broken in a bit. To open or close, you hold the frame with one hand and and pull up or push down with your other hand on the indicated area of the top step. Another consideration would be the weight. Because this unit has a steel frame, it weights just under 14 pounds. We do make an aluminum version that might be easier to maneuver.
