I am delighted with this purchase. Once folded this foot march is very compact. It opens with one hand, it is lightweight but sturdy, (my husband uses it as much as me and it weighs 85 kg). It is big enough for my housework (cleaning above the refrigerator or cabinets) without leaving a ladder or stepladder) and in addition, it can serve as extra seating in troubleshooting but there it is a bit small by cons . In short, I'm really happy with this purchase.
