A step stool is a compact, portable piece of furniture designed to give you a little extra height – typically between 20–60cm. Ideal for everyday tasks, step stools are perfect for reaching high cupboards, adjusting curtains, cleaning, or even helping children access sinks and counters. Most step stools for the home are made with one or two steps, and many double as a handy stool or side table when not in use.
