What is a "step stool"?
A step stool is a small, portable stool designed to help people reach higher places. It usually has one or two steps and is made from materials like wood, metal, or plastic. Step stools are lightweight and easy to move, making them useful for tasks such as reaching shelves, changing light bulbs, or accessing high cabinets. They are commonly used in homes, kitchens, or offices, offering a safe and stable way to gain a little extra height when needed. Some step stools also have non-slip surfaces for added safety.
