Ballymore 218P Perforated 16" W 2 Step Steel Rolling Ladder 10" D Top Step

When finally assembled, this is a great stool to have. I would have given it 5 stars, except for a few issues: 1. The assembly and diagram was small and hard to see. I'm an engineer with high mechanical aptitude, and spent years producing and reading illustrated diagrams, so I could understand it. It would have been difficult for my wife or regular person to figure it out. 2. After assembly, the posts that held the wheels were crooked, and not perpendiculat to the floor. This was sloppy construction. It was welded significantly crooked by about 10-15 degrees. I had to bend it straight using either a big wrench, pipe, or stick a long screwdriver in the tube. Because of this, when pushing the rolling stool, it doesn't go straight. It likes to make a right turn. I don't like that at all. The whole point of having a rolling stool is so I don't have to bend over and adjust it to where I want it. I'm irritated by this, ESPECIALLY if my hands are full, and I need it to scoot over a foot or two. I'll tap it with my foot, and the stool not only veers to the right, it rotates, so the lower step spins in a way that the top step is now facing me. This is highly inconvenient, and will require me to carefully adjust/bend the posts that hold the wheels, so that they are more perpendicular to the ground. Again, I can fix this, because I have high mechanical ability, but for the regular person, this can be greatly disappointing. In summary, this is actually a great stool. I chose the smoother non-expanded metal version of this stool because it works great as a stool to sit on, or a place to set a box on (so I don't have to bend down so low). It's solid and I'm sure it can hold well beyond 400 pounds. If you are not so mechanically inclined, I would suggest getting the circular library-type stools on wheels. They would be hassle free. Message to the Ballentine Ladder Company: I believe your manufacturer in China welded the posts in the opposite angle. The base of the stool is wider than the top, so the posts that holds the wheels need to be at a slight angle. However, when welding the support for the first step, they put it on the wrong side. Basically, you need to label the the left legs as the left legs, and right legs as the right legs, so your manufacturer doesn't mix it up and reverse it.
