Manufacturer needs a tape measure.
Received item and immediately returned to store. The box itself is not even 4 feet long, and the width of the unit is not as advertised. The in store model is a good one, and I now have two of those made by Werner.

Sturdy and maneuverable
Easy to assemble, very easy to roll around, no problems with the folding feature for easy storage. I am over 200 lbs. and I was supported very comfortably.

almost okay
the packaging was totally crunched-four of the rubber insert cushions were either lost or ruined-I will call buffalo co as soon as I get settled in in my new home! Hope they replace the parts.

    a bit shakey, but handy? you bet!
    I'm in the process of taping a house, this mini scaffold is perfect , fits into nearly every space I need to reach, convenient reach to the ceiling and corner joints, and I don't have to learn to use stilts (yup, a hacker....)

        Great Scaffold!
        Great scaffold. I have only used it a couple times but it made the job much easier than working from a ladder. My only regret is I should have bought it sooner.

        Perfect for household use
        Sturdy construction, extremely easy to assemble and use and the folding compact feature is idea where storage space is an issue. Sale price made it a no brainer.

        Pro-series 4 ft. Roll and fold mini scaffold
        I bought two on one-day sale on-line. Within one week two heavy boxes were delivered to my house. The box was broken by the metal bars inside. The assembly of the scaffold was easy. The material was cheap and not stable enough to be standing on to work. I returned the product to local store.

          This is very lightweight, good for small job probably.

          Pro-Series vs MetalTech
          Converted the unit into a rolling work station. Previously I had performed the same conversion to a comparable MetalTech unit. The Pro-Series unit seems to have thinner wall tubing for the cross bars, more slop in the vertical tubing forming the rotating joint connecting the two ends and middle brace, and the orientation of holes for attaching the casters seems random. Overall the MetalTech unit has much better quality control than the Pro-Series. As for function the unit performs as well as the MetalTech.

            Mini Scaffold/work station
            I got this as a small scaffold as well as using as a work station for chargers, tools etc on jobs. The price was pretty good and the quality of the overall product is good. One drawback is that it needs both steel platforms to "lock" and not fold into itself. You can use one platformbut it's not as stable. I wish that they had a locking cross member for more stability

              Good Product for the Money
              Very handy little work station/scaffold. Mostly got this for my wife while we are painting and doing crown molding. She loves it!

                Wobbly, but still useful
                First, let me say that I like this scaffolding. It was very easy to put together, and I like how easily it collapes for storage in my garage. It was incredibly useful when painting tall ceilings and for cutting in. I (and my back!) enjoyed not having to continuously go up-and-down and drag the heavy ladder around the room. I put one shelf on the very top rung to hold my paint tray and used the second on the rungs below to stand on. It's easy to wheel around the room and fits through all of my doorways, and it's light enough where I can easily lift it up several steps. So I'm very pleased with it in those regards. However, I cannot get two of the wheels to lock at all and the third wheel will randomly unlock itself which causes the whole thing to shudder and makes me lose my balance. Since I can't get the wheels to lock, it causes the whole thing to be very wobbly and to slightly roll side-to-side as you walk on it. Getting on and off feels precarious so I have to use a small step stool to get on and off. I haven't yet called the manufacturer to request new wheels but I'm going to. If I can get the wheels easily replaced, I'd give it five stars.

                  Exactly what I needed. Wish I could get additional planks.

                  Piece is okay, but the advertised dimensions are exaggerated. I needed it to be the 4' advertised.

                    worth the money
                    Very easy to assemble. It simply unfolds and I attached the wheels with the pins, snapped the decking on, it was done. Folds down in seconds. It takes very little space to store. Very handy for all kinds of projects that you don't want to use a ladder for.

                    Great for the right applications
                    I bought this mini scaffold on sale and have generally been pleased with it. I am a pro painter and do a lot of interior work with 8-10ft ceilings. A step stool is my go-to, but I like having a larger platform to work from, and I can cover more area without getting down and moving it. I have not liked the stability from the top height (4ft) - I feel like it would be too easy to topple over. And since it's small and lightweight, I don't like the "ladder" sides to climb up to the platform - too unstable. If I can't step onto the platform from the ground, this mini scaffold probably isn't the right tool for the job. When moving across the platform, it can shift slightly lengthwise. It's startling when it first happens but is easy to get used to. I think that a plastic bushing in each of the folding joints would eliminate this problem. The wheels are sturdy and work well on carpet as well as hard floors. My only problem is that a ball bearing popped out after a wheel locked up, less than a week old. The wheel moves again ok, but occasionally swivels with trouble. My coworker is a big guy, and he even feels steady when using it. I use the 2'x4' platform layout most often. Standing on just one of the metal footboards feels narrow to me. If I need a shelf as well, I have a 2x10 to fit on the top level, but I don't put anything heavier than a paint can there since it's not secured. Overall it's been great for certain jobs, especially working around ceilings. But like most tools, it's limited in what it can do. Portability and price are great. And having a platform is easier than standing on a step stool or ladder. But it's compact, so it does lose some stability bigger models seem to have.

                      Great buy
                      The scaffold was easy to set up. I can move faster now while installing sheetrock to ceiling and big walls. I would recommend this product to anyone working in big projects.

                      This came exactly as described.
                      seemed like a medium duty piece of equipment, Sturdy and convenient. Easy fold-away storage.
