Risers: I was wondering... do the risers stick with the platform when the step is liftted; or are they just stacked without locking together to make one unit?

They are not locked to the platform, but if you pull the risers outward to the end of the platform, then gently jiggle the unit once it is stacked, all of the risers will fall neatly into place in the grooves of the platform, and the step will stay put. I think that users' problems with stability stem from not ensuring that the risers and platform are lined up before they step on. A few seconds of taking initial care should eliminate any stability issues. (fyi, I find that set-up of this unit works easiest on a hard floor surface, rather than carpeted, since with the non-skid base, it is a bit more difficult to slide the risers into position on carpet. Not insurmountable, it still functions perfectly, it just makes set-up a little more difficult.)

Wouldn't recommend stair stepping this unit. However you could to a pyramid style of stacking! Great unit, not as large as image portrays. But the dimensions are right on the money!

I stack mine 3 & 4 high, but it is just me & my husband... They sometimes feel a little stuck but they come a part easily... Hope this helps...

I just got this stepper and I do wish it were higher. Did you ever find more risers? I tried putting all 4 on one side and then put books under the other side, which worked well enough but kind of lame.

I'm not sure exactly what you are calling the "riser" (columns that screw together to hold up each tier, or the bowl-like base that contains all of the parts when not in use. If you mean the bowl-like base then yes, it must be used as a column screws into the center of it to secure the tiers.

Most definitely. I have 8 risers, 4 on each side. Very stable and they are stackable as well as storable.

After further perusal of the seller's site, I see where you CAN purchase two risers at a time in spite of previous claim of possible instability of higher platform. Look below the initial site area in the adjunct sales area below.

no theres no mechanism for that but if you get the risers at walmart or wherever you can-the feet even though they are on rollers can set in the risers which have an adequate indent for that and then your bed will be higher-works for me perfect as I love to store things under the bed-keeps things less cluttered.Hope this helps.You get four risers to a package.maybe $8.

All of the steps are the same height (4") but when you stack them, the second step and the first step fit together, one inside the other, for an overlap of 2". After that, the second step only has 2" remaining to add to the height of the first step. I hope this answers your question.

We bought two risers and used all the legs on one of them to make the riser high enough. There are no indentions on top of the riser or a way of securely putting the legs on top of the riser to add another level w/o it sliding off.

These units do not have a mechanism to keep them interlocked. They could fall easily. They are not designed to stack. The weight of the contents could be an issue, as well. I would not stack them on top of each other.

I would not recommend stacking of these units due to the safety issue of the top unit tipping over.They are fairly sturdy but I wouldnt stack them .

They don't "nest" but you can stack them. The problem is that, if you go more than 2 high, they get wobbly. Hope this helps.

I think the legs that run down the middle are too close to use a riser on each and too far to use just one riser for both. Also the frame sits pretty high anyway you might not need them.

Yes, but ours came with the risers. We have even been able to use it on our Berber carpet without the beam toppling, As a matter of fact, my daughter has used this beam for ALL kinds of purposes (including, but not limited to building forts, seating for all her stuffed "friends", and ramps for various and sundry race cars). I would make this purchase again in a heartbeat !

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to stack another set on top. All 3 levels are interchangeable, the "feet" are the same.

I didn't stack mine. Still, I don't see any pegs or screws, or physical way to actually connect the pieces. It did come w/ anti-tip hardware.
