Vaunn Medical Foot Step Stool with Handle and Anti Skid Rubber Platform, Lightweight and Sturdy Stool for Children, Adults and Seniors, Chrome

I have ordered other medical equipment from this manufacturer (Vaunn) before, and have always been pleased with the quality. I ordered this step stool for my mother after her knee replacement, because she was unable to get into her bed. Between the high bed frame and her deep mattress, she was having a hard time lifting her leg up high enough from the floor to climb into bed. This step stool was a godsend for her. It came unassembled, but was fairly simple to put it together myself for her. It’s very well built, and feels nice and stable on her bedroom floor. The floorboard is rubberized to prevent slipping, and wide enough that she can very easily step up and not have to worry about having enough room to stand comfortably. The handle is sturdy and gives her extra stability when stepping upon it, and she feels safe using it to get in and out of bed independently. She was very pleased with this purchase, and I’m happy that it’s given her some independence back.

Good sturdy product. I will be using this step stool in the dark so I need something I can trust to help me get on and off the bed. So five stars for the product itself. The assembly instruction sheet is a different story. Instruction 1 of the sheet states “use 5 x Long Screws” and Instruction 2 states “using 4 x Short Screws”. This is wrong. Its backwards. Switch the long screws with the short screws for the correct assembly. I suppose this is a “minor” issue for most folks, but, I’m too old for this and it delayed my using the stool.

I bought this following ankle surgery. Use the handle as extra support when going in/coming out of our patio door. Also use it as part of at-home PT exercises (stepping, lunging, etc.). Very sturdy yet light enough to move around the house.

The platform appeared to be composed of particle board, exposed on the underside, which was disappointing. Those concerned about sanitary conditions and infection prevention know that particle board is more likely to harbor microbes than steel, for instance, and can't be disinfected no matter how hard you try. I expected better from a "medical" step stool, as it was advertised. On the plus side: this device was sturdier than some others as its handle was a single piece, sans joints.

We bought this to help my 93 year old mother get into our van. Other step stools have slide and cracked. This one is sturdy and well balanced. The extended hand hold has made it so I don't have to lift her into the van. She is able to hold on to the van hand grip with one hand, hold on to the stool grip with the other and step up into the van.

I bought this to assist my weakened husband to get up into our raised bed. He felt a lot safer holding my hand and other hand on the raised handle of step stool-- it worked well. It is easy to install and is heavy duty and sturdy.

This is an excellent product and will be very useful to me getting into bed as I have arthritis in my hips and a high mattress. Please be aware that assembly will require screwdrivers, an Allen wrench and possibly a drill in order to tighten the screws. You may also find that you need two people for assembly.

Very sturdy; solid heavy duty construction. Nice grippy surface. Although the handrail is adequate height, I wish it was adjustable so that it could be a bit higher for my tall husband. Excellent product!
