A: 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.
A:Â Hello! The top step is 28.74 inches high. If you are 5'7", you can reach 7'11". Thank you!
A:Â The 3rd step is 28.94" high.
A:Â Thanks, Sparkkle003! I appreciate the help
A:Â When folded, the height of the stool is 58.86 inches. Thank you for your question and enjoy your day!
A:Â 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!
A:Â You could completely stand on the third step, though the tray would rest against your knees. Thank you for your question and enjoy your day!
A:Â 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.
A:Â The tray is integrated with the opening/closing of the ladder, and the tray could not be left folded while the ladder was in use.
A:Â The lower two steps each have a depth of 6.89", and the uppermost step has a depth of 10.82".
A:Â The Cosco 3 Step Stool comes with a limited 10 year warranty. It protects against manufacturer damages and defects.
A:Â The steps are steel construction with rubber grippers on them.
