We (my wife and I that measures 179 cm) needed to have easy access, effectively and safely to sup niveauxx our shelves and furniture. The objective is achieved and in addition the design is very elegant and sober, light to carry, compact, stable and not slippery. It can also support my excess weight (95 kg). Precaution for use: do not stick to the cabinet to visit under penalty of tipping backwards. It is not recommended for the elderly as there is no 'boom' in order to hang it. In conclusion Well thank you 4 1/2 star Yves Van Crombrugge,
