Anyone have one of these mini scaffolds? And is it
worth buying one for general household use?

Yes, and yes -- and you should be able to find one at a local building
materials store for less than that web site is charging.

I bought one about two years ago, and it's immensely useful for all manner of
household tasks, pretty much anything that requires you to go two or three
steps up a ladder. For instance, when painting a room, your left-to-right
reach is about three times what you can get from a ladder. That means less
time climbing up and down. It's also *much* more comfortable to stand on a
scaffold plank than on a ladder rung.

It gives you a much more stable platform for perching paint cans on than you
can get with a stepladder.

You can have a lot more tools and materials within easy reach than you can on
a stepladder.

And since it rolls, it makes a very convenient dolly for schlepping those
tools and materials around -- five-gallon buckets of drywall mud, for example,
or 25-pound cartons of drywall screws.

OK thanks

Well I don't have ANY kind of ladder right now. If you
owned ONLY this unit would it suffice for
everything..... in a word take the place of a ladder
period?

I'm on tight budget and ask cause I thought buying only
this mini scaffold might be better choice than ladder
and something else.

Pep Boys sells this same import item much cheaper.

Works great for household duty. Much easier to work on a platform than a
ladder. Good for getting in and out of the boat on its trailer.

Yes, i have 3 of the ones lowes sells.

and yes it's worth the $99

Mine is a Werner from Lowes. Cost $110 about five years ago. A real
useful tool. Judge the quality of the unit by the weight. Heavier is
better and good locking casters are absolutely vital. HTH
