I bought this step 4 years ago and I still use it to this day! I was well over 450 lbs when I purchased this and it was sturdy enough for me to use it frequently even with all the additional lifts attached. Now olafter 4 years of usage they don't fit as tight as they use to but I just use duct tape now to help keep them on there and it works fine.l and gets the job done!

My wife LOVES it for her You Tube exercise routines! ... once I got it assembled, which overall is easy. And the cost point is fine for 'a little bit' of work to make the riser parts fit together properly. Maybe we were the "lucky ones"; but the casting/molding & finishing of the 4 plastic riser step pieces left a lot to be desired. Meaning there were just a LOT of ridges and excess molding overflow that needed to be trimmed for the step pieces to fit together completely. I also had to trim and remove a lot of excess material on the each of the 4 supporting foot pegs to ensure the rubber feet would insert into them. I'm used to trimming various materials with my always very sharp knife, but the locations of these waste overflows were such that many folks would either be frustrated from the start and return the step or cut themselves if they are not experienced with a very sharp and fine cutting tool. A small & sharp wood chisel would also work -- didn't have one in my pocket! We spent about 45-60 mins just getting this cleaned up and assembled. Wish I'd taken 'in process' pictures, but have indicated the points at issue on the included Item pictures copied from Amazon. One shows the spots underneath with yellow that required a lot of attention on each riser and the fixed 1 step.An additional assembly disappointment, that may be a struggle later if we want to use the 2nd additional riser: The outside curved area of the light gray 1st additional riser (red marked area in assembled picture) is molded just slightly more straight or flat, with less curvature, than the inset top portion of the darker gray 2nd additional riser (picture with green showing the top side of riser) that is supposed to fit into the bottom of the light gray 1st riser. Once all the excess molded plastic had been trimmed, the less curved areas on both light gray risers would not allow the dark gray 2nd riser to be seated. The only way we could put steps 1 and 2 together was with a rubber mallet! Have not yet tried to pull them apart, so I may try heating with a hair dryer to see if the plastic will conform together now that it is under some pressure!But hey, we're 70+ seniors, so just using the first additional riser is great! The step is very sturdy and functional once assembled and a bargain for the price! Just be aware of the possible additional plastic trimming skill that may be required!

This step comes with risers that allow two more heights, easily attachable. It feels stable and strong, and is rectangular rather than square, which fits my space better.

Received this stepper earlier than expected. Did receive some exercises to do on the stepper but there was no instructions to explain what ends go where. Under the stepper is a light gray and a dark gray additional steps. If you want the stepper to be higher you must put on the dark gray step before you put on the light gray step. It will not work if you place the light gray step on first. Also, you cannot put on just one step and think you will store a step underneath as the step you are using will not attach to original step - there is not enough room to store a step you are not going to use. I have been using this stepper with all steps included to help in the exercise of my knee and this gives me the bend I need. I have used it regularly now for over a week and it is working out for me. I weigh approximately 155 lbs and 5'4" and have had no problem with it. With all step added it is 8" high. I have moved this stepper without any problems. The additional steps do not come off as some have noted. I have not jumped on it but have stepped up and down as my exercises have me do to strength the knee. So far this is an excellent stepper for what I need it for.

An old stepper I had for many years finally broke one of it's "feet" after hundreds of uses. I needed a new stepper but didn't want to spend $50 plus. I found this one, read the reviews and decided to give it a try. A very good decision so far. As described, it has the two additional height feet that come with it so you can pick the stepper height that fits your fitness and comfort level for your workouts. It's very easy to change the height "feet" on it. They have little rubber tabs that fit into the body of the stepper and you're ready. An excellent extra feature is each of those feet have little rubber bits on the bottom so, unless you have a really slippery hard floor, they usually keep the stepper in one place while you're working out on it. I do some pretty extreme workouts sometimes though, so I just put the stepper against the back of a heavy chair with a flat back and no matter what I do it stays in place. I've used the stepper about 20 times so far and it seems very sturdy and I expect it to last a long time.Very important: With any stepper, not just this one, you must always be careful, when you step up or jump up on it, to make sure you put your feet on the flat surface of the stepper. If you don't pay attention you could catch the edge of a stepper and trip or fall (Don't ask me how I know this!). Again, this is true of any stepper, period.

I have both this step and a traditional step with the non-locking risers - and I much prefer this step. It's super sturdy and stays in place. I use this on a carpet for Body Step and Body Pump, and it does not move! Really love how compact this is with the risers taken down. I also love that they snap on to the back for easy storage. The step is smaller/narrower than my other step, so I have to be careful when moving fast on it so I don't miss my footing, but that's ok. Super happy with this product.
