Hasegawa Ladders
Torrance, CA
Hasegawa is taking step ladders to new heights, thanks to their award-winning designs. They’ve been hand-assembling their stools and ladders since the 1960s, and every wonder they make is sturdy as can be (not to mention a treat to look at). They’re a snap to fold and store, too—perfect since we’ll be keeping ours close by.

A Great Aid
In my kitchen this is perfect. It folds up neatly and doesn't take up much space but is so handy in reaching into high cabinets.
Well Designed
This stepladder looks great, stands up on it’s own and is lightweight thus easy to move around in my kitchen (or anywhere) to quickly grab items in high places. A good purchase. No regrets spending a little more on a good looking and functional step ladder.
Neat, space saving & functional
Love this stool. It takes up hardly any room in my kitchen. It’s lightweight & easy to use. Exactly what I needed to reach the top shelves of my kitchen cupboards. Best of all it stands up by itself when closed, so can be tucked away in a corner.
