Best Donation Platforms For Nonprofits (2025 Updated)

This work platform is very useful with the one small complaint if you will. when you set it up to work be sure to spread the legs as far as they will go. Even though they have a locking mechanism and they will not go further than the lock allows, you could be surprised by a sudden shift when you walk from one side to the other of this thing.

it tends to suddenly shift over about three – four inches if you do not open the legs all the way open. it can be an unpleasant surprise that sends you tumbling off of the platform. I’ve had a few close calls on this thing so far.

its not exactly comfortable on the ankles when it happens but as long as you remember to pull the legs apart after setting the locks, you should be able to avoid this from happening. once you account for that, its a pretty useful platform.

So far, so good. Have had it about a week and it has performed well and as expected! After the up and down, up and down use of a step ladder, this product seems like the best thing since sliced bread.

Covering a great deal more area while painting and doing cut ins at the ceiling. Stable with serious platform area; it’s like I’m standing on the floor while working my elevated projects! Don’t think about it, just buy it.

For the price, compared to the more expensive options on the market, this product cannot be beat!.

After seeing my ceiling contractor use a similar product I was happy to find this platform at Harbor Freight. It’s light weight, foldable, and provides ample surface area to stand on for your higher up projects for which a ladder would feel too cumbersome.

I wish there was an opening in the center to easily move it form place to place with one hand. The locking mechanisms for the legs are simple enough, but feel a bit flimsy. Aside from those two points, the product is better priced than anything comparable at competitor retailers, and still worth getting if you’re going to be doing work on your walls or ceilings.

We have purchased these in the past and came back to purchase them again as we need. They are exactly as described. Customer service is great.

Great product, wish price was a little lower, it’s all for Charity!!!

The donation boxes are exactly as they look on the website. They are very sturdy and two keys are provided for each. I definitely recommend them!

There are numerous bench on the market similar to this one, but they either cost substantially more, or are of lesser quality. I love the handle grip in the middle. If it doesn’t have one, I’d make one! They are light, and durable.

I got one, then 2 more, and thinking of 2 more. Great for drywall mudding & painting. I’m 200 plus lbs and I have no problem standing on them. They are a little narrower than some, but I think that helps in most areas you might be working in.

However, I won’t put two guys on one platform (but I have). They also stack nicely even when open.

This is the handiest item Ive purchased. Its light weight, compact yet supports 300 lbs. The legs easily fold and unfold but lock securely in place for use. A must have for professional or DYIer.

Gorilla Ladder Work Platform is phenomenal! Used it right away for detailing my lifted Super Duty and was able to dry the roof, windshield, back window, and tonneau cover with ease! Love the full length of over 40 long, no slip platform and very sturdy.

Extremely lightweight and the fact the legs fold completely flat makes it a breeze for storage and tucks in a small space beside my toolbox completely out of sight. Cant wait to put this towards more good uses!!.

Its an amazing platform to have it is very handy. We have lifted trucks and its very hard to work of a ladder so finding this platform was the best thing we could possibly find. There is no need to twist our bodies when working on out trucks now we can stand perfectly straight facing the truck.

I have used the platform with some one else and it is very sturdy and wide enough it sure gives amazing support. I love that you can adjust the height for different types of projects and it can be done very easily no need for extra help.

It is easy to lift and carry with the easy grab handles. Its not too heavy and most amazingly is easy to store. It does not take much space. You cant go wrong with this platform for an every day use.

Well worth it!.

The Werner – Linking and Adjustable Height Work Platforms were exactly what I needed to complete my most recent painting project. The platforms are very lightweight and easy to carry and connect. Both platforms allowed me to cover more surface area rather than having to step down and move it over.

Attaching both platforms together was a breeze, not one tool was used! The plastic bumpers provided the protection I needed to prevent any type of scratches or damage to my customer’s beautiful hardwood floors.

I will definitely be using these again for future projects!.

Love this work platform. It’s easy to use and lightweight to move around. We have an oak staircase that has a vaulted ceiling. We’ve been putting off repainting the area due to the difficult accessing the higher parts to cut in with a brush.

This platform worked fantastic and just was what was needed for the job. The platform is not ultra heavy duty, but certainly will be stable and hold the weight of a grown male adult. They fold relatively flat for storage purposes.

This is a very secure and stable foot stool. I have mobility issues and need a secure platform for both of my feet. This stand is perfect and great on so many different surfaces. I used it on a grassy incline and it did not move a millimeter.

The surface provides enough friction to keep your feet from sliding. I wouldn’t trust anything else to step up in. I used this first when trimming a hedge and it was perfect in every way. Lightweight to move around.

It doesn’t fold up and no assembly required.

I bought a few of these for my home and business and instantly found them worthwhile. Theyre lightweight, super sturdy and a little taller than others Ive tried. Absolutely recommend

Well-built, robust and absolutely stable to withstand 300 lbs of weight. No rocking or feeling of insecurity when one stands on it. I only wish they come up with an aluminum version of it to make it a shade lighter, even though in its current configuration it isn’t annoyingly heavy and gets a 5/5.

Nice product from a reputable company. Picked a few of these when on sale locally. One improvement that Werner can implement on this model. The rubber feet on the legs are riveted on. The issue with this is that the legs will eventually wear through the rubber feet and possibly damage hardwood floors, ceramic tile, etc.

Well, I have a fix for this that Werner can implement. Remove the rivets securing the feet on. I used a 7/32nd bit to cleanly remove rivets. Next cut 4 sheet metal pieces to this size. 1″ x 1 3/4″. Place the pieces into the rubber feet cavity, they should fit snug.

This allows the sharp angel leg to rest on the layer of sheet metal sandwiched between the rubber and the leg. Place some 100% silicone caulk, I used clear, and refasten each foot to each leg using a #14 sheet metal screw, I used a 1″ length screw.

I just improved this product so I’m not damaging floors and simply prolonged the lifetime of the actual rubber feet. Call me Werner for details if you like pictures on my ideal.

This product will become indispensable, like my 8 foot Werner step ladder. My boyfriend gave me one of these work platforms as a gift (whattaguy!!) after I’d used one at his place. I’m a shorty, 5’4″, and a handy gal.

Way better than a short ladder, I like that it gives me a better vantage point and sturdy access when I wash the top of my SUV. Definitely will use it for painting. I agree with the other reviewer about creating a hand hold for ease of relocation.

It is SO sturdy, especially with the rubber feet, I was thinking, WOW, what an outstanding portable work BENCH this could be if the legs could extend and adjust to between 30-40 inches, and have the platform a little wider, 24-30″ (or larger).

Recently sold my house to relocate and am renting right now, and all I have is a small carport for storage and work space. If I had a storable workbench similar to this design I could quickly erect it, utilize the compound saw on it, or use as a surface to construct or paint an item, and/or clamp my work so I don’t have to bend over and kill my back.

I’d be digging it. WERNER. PRODUCT IDEA!! I’ll be first in line at the register!.

The only way to improve this platform is to add a center handle. Perfect Height for cutting in a standard height room when painting. I am constantly setting down paint and brush to use two hands to move.

It can be done with one hand but it’s awkward and noisy to toss or drags the drop cloth. Wouldn’t it be nice to hold the paint pail with one hand and pick up and place the platform with your other free hand.

Sounds like a lame complaint, but time is money in the trades. My most used ladder. Light weight and durable. Designed by someone who doesn’t actually use one all day.

I bought this for my father who has trouble getting into our car and he loves it. The fact that it has 2 heights is great. Right now we are using it without the legs extended, when he gets a bit stronger we will use the legs.

The platform is the right size and easy to navigate, he really likes the non slip tread. It is very sturdy and gives him a sense of security, this platform will last.

I got this for an additional step for the steps going into our camper. I have bad knees and this definitely helps. You can either use it with the legs folded up or extended just depends on what you need.

It is a bit heavy but is well built. Definitely will last. Well, it is July 2017 and I still love this product. It has taken some abuse and still is very solid. The weight is something to get used to but I don’t mind.

As well and solid as it is build, I would definitely recommend this product. Definitely worth the money. Everyone that we camp with ends up buying one for themselves.

The first time we used our ’08 Fleetwood Pace Arrow I realized that the two steps were just not quite enough for me and our two young grandsons. I convinced my husband that this was a necessity and ordered it with him really not seeing the value.

After our next trip, he agreed that it was nice to have that step there since our first MH step is quite far from the ground. It wasn’t so bad for him but I’m short (5’4″) and our two grandsons at ages 7 and 9 really needed the extra step.

The step is a bit heavy but worth the extra weight!.

I have owned this product for at least 10 years. Over those years I have grown to love it and use it in many ways. Most recently I was painting some crown molding in my house. The platform is the perfect height for my 5′-10″ frame.

And the length allowed me to cover about a 4′ section of molding before stepping down to relocate. During this most recent enjoyment I found that your product needs, very badly, a slot located in the middle of the platform so that it can be moved with one hand while the other hand holds a paint bucket and brush.

This improvement will allow the user to pick up the platform in a level manner and relocate it without dragging it across the floor and banging it into adjacent walls. Please consider this improvement in your next production run.

Thank you.

I love this platform so much I bought 2 of them. A few years ago I had got a 20′ long platform of the same brand and width, but it is very heavy to deal with. I thought I would be just using these to add a little more length where needed, but these are much easier to handle at less than half the weight.

It may take an extra ladder in the middle, but it is so much easier to use a pair of these than the one longer platform.

I purchased my step ladder at Lowe’s here in Jefferson City, MO I had been wanting a step ladder three step for a long time and was able to finally get some spending money that I was allowed to use. Great ladder and had owned Werner Ladders in the past.

Keep up the good work but please bring their manufacturing back to the United States.

Another excellent product from Werner. I have used their ladders, planks, etc. exclusively for many years and they are always top notch.

I use twin Werner ladders solo and as platform bases for make shift scaffolds. It’s imperative that I have a stable ladder. I’m an installer of high end product in hard to reach areas. Great footing is a must I won’t sacrifice for a more affordable option.

The twin steps allow another installer to foot and hold the ladder in place for the person climbing the ladder (especially when the climber is encumbered by product or gear). Other ladders have flimsy support brackets that only aide in keeping the A-frame ladder legs in place.

Twin ladders have actual steps. Twins also don’t have to be repositioned as much. In an emergency a rescuer can climb up the other side. While not in use: This ladder should be stored indoors to preserve the fiberglass and protect it from the elements.

The ladder is very tough if cared for properly. If there’s to be one: The only negative is the weight yet that was to be expected of a 375 lbs rated 12 ft. twin fiberglass ladder. I will most likely purchase the 16 ft twin ladder at a later date.

It’s stable and a very solid platform at 12′ up. That said; it’s heavy to carry far distances. It’s retail price is expensive and worth it. Zoro was very accommodating with the beginning of the year sale.

Free Shipping does not exist with product of this size. Only the legs are tied together in shipping, otherwise unprotected. We keep our ladder indoors to preserve the bright Werner orange fiberglass.

Zoro is a subsidiary of Grainger. Knowing this, I’ll be looking into store pick up for my next large ladder purchase. Zoro customer service is top rate.

The value of any tool, including ladders, is determined by it’s ease of use. If it’s a pain to use, you’ll always hate using it and regret buying it. I hate using this ladder. I own three Werner fiberglass ladders — 5 ft, 6 ft and 7 ft.

I never realized, until I bought the professional 7 ft model, that the hinge mechanism is different between the different weight classes. The professional models use a single pivot point and the hinge attaches on the inside of the ladder rails; on the other models the hinge has two pivot points and the hinge attaches on the outside of the ladder rails.

The professional model is a joy to open and close with a smooth easy action. The non-pro models, like the 6005 I own, is an absolute struggle to open and close. The two pivot points means there is twice the friction in the action of the hinge and that makes all the difference in the world.

This would be a perfect ladder if the professional hinge mechanism were used. I wish I could replace the hinge mechanism on the non-pro models I own.

IšverstiShow in original languageMy husband bought this ladder after we moved into our new home and its the best ladder ever. This ladder has a spot at the top of the ladder to hold all of his tools, paint cans and all other necessary items in completing a honey dew project.

I am so excited as I am no longer needed as a day laborer to hold tools or hand tools while he is on the ladder as all of this is accessible to him. Who ever thought of this is a genius and hopefully they got full credit for this feature as it really is a time saver and probably saved our marriage from many “discussions” as i am no longer giving unwanted advice while he is doing the project.

I really love this ladder and I know he finds all of these features very convenient and helpful. Just wanted to say how much we liked the ladder!!!.

IšverstiShow in original languageExcellent ladder! This ladder is strong and sturdy but relatively lightweight to lift/carry compared to similar ladders of the same height. The top tray is fantastic because it allows you to take a variety of items up on the ladder with your without risk of them falling off.

This ladder has feet that make it feel more anchored and less likely to slip around. It folds relatively flat for storage. Top quality for a reasonable price.

IšverstiShow in original languageThis ladder is sturdy, yet much lighter In weight than the same size ladder built from wood. The top platform has recesses and holes to hold tools and small hardware.

Horizontal bars on the back section allow you to straddle the top like a horse or bicycle, given you a place for the foot on the back side. I don’t believe those bars are meant to be rungs, but they make a good place to temporarily hang tools or materials.

The only thing missing that my old wood ladder had, is a fold down platform near the top, for holding a one-gallon paint can.

By far the best solution to my situation. This box can be used for many purposes. The craftsmanship is top notch , the addition of the extra key is nice, the see through lense is a time saver and the cable makes for security.

Furthermore, the painting is nicely done and makes a great addition to the decour. It doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. Since using this box it has cut down on the need to keep people honest, it encourages others to participate in the collection as needed for each activity.

I have it mounted to a sturdy frame that can be moved or adjusted for each activity. The versatility of this box is endless. Very happy with it.

I got this to use for my daughters class funding raising. The cable you use to secure it is brilliant. I got the yellow one so it gets people’s attention. I put a sign on saying what money is for and set it out a school events.

It is very easy to set up and to get money out afterwords. It’s definitely better then then can which sometimes gets used. I think this will be a great benefit to raising money and it’s nice looking.

I really like this little steel donation/ suggestion box. The size is absolutely perfect for my needs and the cable and lock provided me with the security I wanted. The lock is easy to program with your own specific code and its sturdy.

The only negative I have, (and it’s small) is that the clear cover doesn’t provide privacy if something flips open. All in all it’s great!.
