Title: A real pain to open & close; finger smash risk when fighting it.
Review: If you open it and leave it open it's great although rather heavy.Unfortunately unlike the 2-step variety of similar home step stools, it does not simply open or close without a fuss. In fact it is a major pain in the rear to either open or close. The latch that needs to be released to close it moves easily, but then nothing happens - it still won't close without smacking it and it is not obvious where to do so. It certainly does not simply open or close by pushing the legs in any obvious way.Just now I smashed a finger it it just opening it.If you want something that opens/closes effortlessly, look somewhere else. If you don't mind having to kick or smack it, it's pretty sturdy.
