this was exactly what i thought it would be, and as advertised, which was nice to get what you think you are ordering. i have used it everyday along withmy physical therapy. it is very sturdy and well balanced. i like the length. no danger of stepping off or tipping. much needed for 66yr old. also the ability to change height of step. 4,6or 8 inches was also one of the major reasons i purchased it. i thought the price was a little high for fixed income but i needed it to get my mobility back. definitely would recommend the step to anyone!
