The Winsome Wood Ascend Step Stool is indispensable for reaching high shelves or into cabinets. The little ones will love how it gives them a chance to reach the sink in the kitchen or bathroom. It can also serve as an impromptu stool, using the lower step as a footrest. The stool is made of Solid Wood for durability. Open slats prevent water from pooling on the steps so your footing stays solid. The A-frame provides a sturdy, safe base, and when not in use, the lower step folds up into the frame, making it easy to store in a corner or in the closet. The stool is finished in a warm Walnut. Conveniently packed in one box with all the hardware needed for assembly.
