ladders & stepstools

I purchased this stool to ... see more

I purchased this stool to use to get up on a tall bed. It works great. It is very sturdy, and the bottom step rotates up and stores under the top step to take up less space if desired. It did not take very long to put together, however, as stated in the other reviews, it took a little more effort because the pre-drilled holes did not line up well.This was not a big ordeal. It is a great and affordable stool. I really shopped around, and this was the best option I found. see less

Doing a search for "pretty step stools" produced some odd results, but I did come across this one. I was looking for something to use in our walk-in closet with high ceilings - and high shelves. I'm using it on carpet, and it sometimes feels slightly unstable, but I think that's more of a flooring issue. It is also a good height for reaching tall shelves. The step stool looks very nice and was relatively easy to put together. The instructions could have been more detailed and/or descriptive, but if you have experience with build-it-yourself furniture, you should be able to figure it out. I'm much happier with this than I would have been with a utility step stool. see less

Don't go by the bad reviews. This is the best value for that retro look and half the money. It is not ment to sit on for long periods of time. Can be a bit tough on the bottom. I have it in my bedroom to sit on to put shoes on and stay off my made up bed. I do use it in the kitchen to reach the higher shelves. It is well made and goes together easy. I may change out the seat/back with a different color, turq, maybe. The chair works well as does the steps that tuck under when not in use. It is very sturdy and stays in place when used as a ladder. Good to reach up to get something, set it on the seat then use the back to hold on to when getting down. Never stand on the seat. Anything higher than the 2nd step get a ladder. see less

I love it. It arrived in a timely fashion, was super simple to put together and is just what we needed. see less

This was a gift to my in-laws whose 60 year old (no kidding) stool like it finally breathed it's last. They were able to put it together and say that it is great! I had a hard time finding this type of item anywhere else and it's perfect. I doubt it will last 60 years, but it is sturdy and the price is right! Happy to find it here! see less

I own a roofing company and I use the ladder on a daily basis. I purchased the contractor grade ladder. My use may be a little more than the normal, however, find the tool exceptionally convienient, reliable , and always a conversation piece. Buy the best quality ladder they sell, gravity can be very dangerous. see less

Sturdy, easy to use. Wished it blended a bit more in to the kitchen decor, but it is totally functional. I am happy. see less

All ladders have an intended purpose. I coach soccer and this step ladder is perfect on the field. I use it to attach the goal net to the goal post, enables me to reach the cross bar with ease. It's light wieght, about 4 lbs, compact, the extended handle helps to keep balance while standing on the top step, lays down flat on the grass, no sharp edges. Perect for this type of application. see less

The first problem is that ... see more

The first problem is that it is not 3.5 inches deep, it's more like 6 or 7 inches, so it wouldn't fit in the space I wanted to put it. Also the spacing between the first and second step is so big that it makes it nearly impossible for someone short (5' 3") to use it. If I hadn't already thrown out the box I would have returned it. see less

I needed a ladder to access the roof of my RV. This ladder is the best value I could find. It is easy to use and most importantly easy to store. see less

Needed a ladder to access ... see more

Needed a ladder to access our attic. An A-frame wouldn't have worked, as it's a small space. This is perfect, since we can also store it conveniently in the closet. It seems sturdy and well-built. In fact, it's quite a bit heavier than I would have thought, and not exactly tiny. It's pretty stable and has a slightly-angled rubber grip on the bottom. Very easy to extend and collapse. see less

There are plenty of telescoping ladders, but most are twice the price of this one. As well, the whole thing is just well designed - you won't pinch yourself when it closes, it's got a nice neoprene carry grip, and it velcros shut to stay in place. It's pretty much exactly what I want and needed. see less

The ladder is good for reaching areas hard to paint by its multi-position functions. It's light enough to move about easily. It's compact enough to easily transport in the trunk of a car. The major drawback is when you have to extend it fully and move it into position, it is terribly awkward to manuever while fully extended. In such a use, an extension ladder is far more desireable, as it doesn't have to be stretched out until you have it in its needed location, and can extend it upwards without moving the base point, unlike this ladder. see less

I am a small person, and ... see more

I am a small person, and there are places I cannot reach without assistance. Until I got this step, I used a chair. That is not a good idea for a variety of reasons.I was surprised at how light it is. I can easily pick it up and carry it. It rolls easily, too. The really neat thing is that as soon as I step on it, the step sinks to the rubber-ish ring on the base and it holds solidly.My biggest concern with getting a step, though, was the space it would take up. Yes, I want to reach the cabinet above the stove, but I also want to reach the stove. This step slides out of the way easily, but it also fits fine beneath a chair or beneath a table.I use it now without even thinking about it. see less

It takes me back to kicking it down the aisles at the library, then sitting reading something else I found for hours. Perfect for cleaning the bottom shelves of the fridge. Be aware, once you stick the upper step in the base, you cannot take it apart, or return it. It shouldn't matter. Great colors, too. see less

I love it. One of those items when after you buy it and use it for a time, you wonder how you got along without it. My cat also loves to curl up on the bottom step and take a nap...there for "Two For the Price of One". see less

love this stool--it's great to just kick it where you need it and climb up without having to grab a stool, unfold it, worry about pinching fingers scuffing the floor with the folding stool; and it's priced a lot lower than other stools that are exactly the same! see less

Bought this for work to reach high shelves in our storage room at work. I love the way the step drops down over the wheels--preventing rolling--when you step on it. Sometimes use it as an extra seat too. It's fantastic and a great value. see less

When the items first came, I was disappointed. They were about double the width I thought and they looked flimsy. Wrong! They roll easily and when you put weight on them, they stay put! We are very happy with this purchase! see less

I loved this stool! It's the perfect height to reach the top of my kitchen cabinets and it's easy to maneuver and store because of the wheels. I've always wanted a real library stool, and this is a much less expensive option. It seems very sturdy and unlikely to break or fall apart. see less

This is a great ladder for 2 story homes. It's easy to use, just open the box and pull it out and your ready to go! We tried it and it seems pretty durable and strong. Its a good idea to have one of these handy in case of an emergency, but hopefully you'll never need it! see less

I say my home inspector with one and thought it was a great idea. Got mine delivered and love it. Takes up little space, but helps me get to those high places in my new home. I think that it is easy to extend or close up. I can not say enough positive things about this. [...] highly recommend for someone who is in need of getting to high places, but does not want to store and large ladder. Great item. Thank you Target! see less

I am a property claims adjuster and I use this ladder every day in my work. I don't think I have ever gone to a home and not had the homeowner ask how to get one of these ladders. It fits nicely in the truck of my car and is extremely stable to climb on. I am 250 lbs and have never felt uncomfortable about the stability of this ladder. If you are purchasing a ladder to be able to get on your roof with, the 15.5 ft is much more versatile and safer than a 12 ft ladder. see less

This stool is used in an office and is used all throughout the day. We have an array of various people who weigh up to 240lbs and this stool still withstands it's constant use. Great purchase. see less

Great sizes for Kids and Adults. Easy to open and close and small for storage. This product is a great item recommend it for all house use. I use it for every thing in the house from cabinets to closets to wiping done my walls. So don't think twice to pass up on this item just buy it, it's cheap price but excellent product. So you make by buying it for a low price and getting a great item that can be used for many years to come. All I CAN SAY IS BUY BUY BUY BUY. see less

I would recommend to buy for good reach on shelves and also to sit and relax after all kitchen work!! Its been 2 months and no problem so far. one thing i noticed from other reviews, is, you need to be able to fit all part together correctly for first time and you won't have complain.... see less

Exactly what I was expecting! Works well to provide the extra height I need to reach items off the shelf where my husband puts things out of reach. see less

I have had my Cosco Retro Chair / Step Stool for over 3 years now and it is totally irreplaceable. Contrary to other reviews, it can be used as a chair. This is in my kitchen next to the phone and I sit there often while chatting. I would not recommend standing on the seat of the chair however, as it is upholstered. This is a strong, durable, and high quality item that really comes in handy. LOVE LOVE LOVE the retro look. see less

Was only going to use this to paint my room, with 9 ft ceilings I was able to reach the top with this ladder. Now I am going to keep it around because it was so easy to use and store. Easily folds and slides into closet or under bed. Has nice holder that keeps paint can, either quart or gallon, from sliding around. Great steps, I hate being on ladders and this one was very comfortable for me. see less

We purchased this because some of our cupboard shelves are quite high and because of the high ceilings in our apartment. We didn't want a ladder-- a little unwieldy in an apartment-- but we wanted something with height. This did the trick. The third step is very handy. In addition, it's well built. There are raised ridges on each step for grip, and it feels stable and solid. We are pleased with it. see less

There's nothing worse than having to lug out a heavy, clunky step ladder to quickly access something. I purchased this step ladder for myself so that I could quickly reach high cabinets in my apartment. It's so lightweight that it's a breeze to whip out when I need it. After struggling with my 70 year old dad's old heavy clunker, I saw an obvious opportunity for an improvement. He'll be getting this baby for Christmas, among other more fun gifts! see less

I was tired of standing tippy toed to reach stuff from the top shelf. I got this and love it, it works perfectly and the release to fold up is so easy and it is slender enough to store between the fridge and the wall in my tiny apartment! see less

After reading some of the reviews, I was a little leery to order this, but thought I could just return it if it wasn't right. It actually exceeded my expectations! The color is very pretty and looks great in my kitchen. My husband put it together without any difficulty, although I have to admit he is very handy. Most of the components are metal and I like the way the steps slide out. It seems sturdy and is nice to pull up to the counter while peeling potatoes or to have one of the grand kids sit on. My favorite thing about it is that it reminds me of my grandma when I look at it because she had one like this in her kitchen. I really could not be more pleased with it! see less

My grandmother had a yellow Cosco Step Stool in her kitchen for the 51 years that I new her. I am short and and while I was doing the Christmas baking, I had a heavy step stool in the kitchen and realized how handy it was to be able to reach all the high places in the cupboards. I thought of my grandma's step stool and found one very similar at Target. It is a handy chair for anyone to sit on while "visiting" in the kitchen, and makes it so easy to get to the high shelves. I love it. see less

THANK YOU for the perfect gift that was easy to find, order and assemble and especially for the wonderful memories of Christmas that it brought! I purchased this for my Mom for Christmas. It arrived very quickly. I was initially put off by the idea of having to assemble it but it went together easily.She sat at the kitchen table with us on Christmas evening, watching as we matched nuts and bolts to the illustration in the directions. She was hesitant about liking it at first, thinking I may have paid too much for it. I reassured her that I did not. As it came together the smiles and admiration increased. It reminded me of the Christmases of my childhood when my parents would assemble gifts for us. She now has it in her kitchen and proudly shows it off to anyone and everyone in her apartment complex. It really is a beautiful accent to her yellow decor. It is bright and shiny as well as being useful and she is thrilled to have it as a replacement for the old stool that stood there before Christmas. see less
