We bought one of these and it was a branded name. Be careful ours broke when being used. Quite lucky really foot went straight through, plastic breaks with very large sharp pointed edges and could have easily sliced through the leg. Yes the step was being used correctly, was new and by an average sized person, so what is the safe load of these steps?
We will not be buying a replacement!!!!

Hi Crazy cat,

 Sorry to read above, but i'm looking at ours now  (Lakeland), and it's like honeycombe underneath the top, and even the four sides for strenght.

 Had it a few years, i was 17st but now down to 14-1/2 st and used it for allsorts, if you did need one  these are o.k. .

If its one of those that has been being advertised quite a lot lately I was wondering if they were as good as they say.

Seems more likely its for a child to use though they do show an adult using it.

No, really?!

Hi Kimme,

Yes it is one of those advertised quite alot, and also mentioned on here. Indeed the underside of the moulding is also a honeycomb for strength and rigity. Unfortunately the construction is poor. if you buy one test it out and keep the receipt.
