At first glance, this is just a normal step ladder with three steps. But the reason we love it so much is that it has a work platform built in at the top. It's a great (safe) place to put your camera or other gear while climbing up or down from the ladder. We also love the wide stairs that fit your whole foot rather than just the first half. Very comfy. The top step is 30" from the floor. Folds up to approximately 3" thick, 17 1/2" wide, & 61" tall.
