A good step for the price. It is a non offensive black and grey tone so looks very much like any other gym equipment you would get. It bears my weight well and the surface area of the step is sufficient to allow for a variety of movements and uses (I use it for body pump workouts). It is high enough to make a difference to a hiit workout and is a useful bit of kit. My husband is a little heavier and it has a slight give in the sides but not enough to be a problem or to doubt its durability. Will see how it fairs over time with regular use.
