A step stool is a small, portable, self-supporting ladder with one or two flat steps and no pail shelf. It has a nonadjustable length of 32 inches or less. It can be made of wood, plastic, or steel with a maximum weight capacity of 300 pounds. It is commonly used for reaching high kitchen cabinets and bookshelves and climbing onto elevated beds.
Number of steps: Choose a step stool with two or three steps for more elevation. Make sure the legs are made with thick pads underneath to prevent it from sliding. Weight capacity: For stability, choose a youth step stool with a weight capacity of 50 pounds. A step stool for adult use should have a weight capacity of 300 pounds. Wheels: Choose a step stool with built-in, lockable caster wheels for easy mobility.
