Your cart is empty.Every home needs a step stool. From a little tyke's toothbrush way up on the bathroom sink to those holiday dishes stored on the top kitchen shelf, certain places are just hard to reach alone. This solid/composite wood stool from Winsome Wood is attractive, compact, and easy to tote around. The two-tier design features a narrower bottom step for quick up-and-down jobs and a wider top step for higher elevation reaches. Both steps are cut with slender slats for traction and rest securely on a sturdy, wide-base frame. To store or transport this handy helper, simply fold in the bottom step. The stool has a rich Antique Walnut finish and measures 18-1/2 inches wide by 15 inches deep by 21-1/2 inches high. It supports 250 pounds. Assembly is required.

Very nicely made and sturdy stool. Looks good, wood feels substantial. Was a bit tricky to put together, but holds together well.

Nice looking, sturdy construction, quality materials, terrific instructions (see photo), clever design makes it usable as a stool or seat. The finish is nice looking but is not stained before the varnish is applied. It uses varnish stain which is a surface coating. Scratches will expose wood underneath.All sixteen of the larger screws will NOT be usable in the holes tapped in the wood. If you do not redrill them, you absolutely will not be able to assemble this. Even if you do, if you use a 13/64 bit you may get by with a little silicon spray to make the screws go in easier. But, you may split the wood as you can see in the picture. Then you get out the wood glue and clamps and a longer screw and drill a deeper tap hole. This is not a fun repair. So, after the wood split with the first 13/64 redrilled tap hole, I switched to a 7/32 bit and re-tapped all the holes. Then you can actually drive all the screws manually HOWEVER.....the supplied allen wrench is completely useless. Even with the 7/32 tapped holes, it is not capable of driving the sixteen larger screws. You will need an allen key or a drill driver and a bit like the one shown in the pictures. Note the smaller screws fit in eight holes, are difficult to drive and require a long-reach, good quality phillips screwdriver to sink in (and a lot of effort). So here is a five star product which should be given only one star for the assemble nightmare. My guess is the average person will NEVER be able to get through the assembly and wind up returning it. Too bad, the manufacturer spent all that time on great instructions and quality design/materials and then drills the wrong size holes and provides a useless assembly tool. Three stars seems appropriate. But again, the assembly is not for the faint of heart.

The wood is actual wood! Beautiful finish and craftsmanship. I bought this for my daughter to use for getting onto her raised dorm bed. It's the perfect height at 20 inches to get on the bed comfortably without having to hop onto it, plus the small step can be stowed under it to use it as a stool and extra seating. It came nicely packaged with all pieces protected with Styrofoam sheets, the screws and tools provided were also complete with no missing pieces. The instructions were also well put together and easy to follow, although it does take at least an hour to assemble.Word of caution: you need some strength to tight the screws. You want those to be nice and tight so the pieces are flush and not wobbly.

I like the color and the height is perfect. I have 8 ft tall cabinets and the seat is just right for sitting and standing on to get to the top shelf. The instructions are clear, step by step in drawings. One hint I’ll share is that grocery store birthday candles in the shape of a drill bit are the perfect size to screw into each predrilled hole to help the screws go. It is hardwood,not as easy as pine to screw into. I didn’t glue the plugs in case the screw need to be tightened later. I’m happy with the design and quality.

I was desperate for a nice looking kitchen step stool. I am not impressed with a regular aluminum step stool, to me the aluminum looks like it should be on a construction site.I put this together myself. Here is where I feel I need to add a few caveats:1. If you are not good at understanding the directions with pictures only, no written description, it may be difficult for you.2. This is not an easy build. I am pretty confident of my abilities and this one was a bit tougher for me. Thankfully I have additional tools because in my opinion this is almost a 2 person build.3. It doesn't mention using wood glue in the pre - drilled holes. I used wood glue in the places that were made to fit the dowels. I also used wood glue to hold all the wooden caps that cover the areas that are drilled but have a screw inside, there are at least a dozen. Why did I use wood glue? It adds a bit of strength and it helps avoid future squeaks.4. I would have a pair of channel locks with a cloth to protect the wood available if you are like me and like a extra tight screw. (This is where 2 ppl would come in handy) I also used my own hex wrenches. The one that comes with it works, but I wanted a longer one. I also used my drill for the Phillips screws. Would have used it for the hex screws but have temporarily misplaced the hex wrench bit box.... Just my personal preference on the wrench. And again, adding wood glue to the screw areas is another level of strength, a good build, IMO.Although it is a bit difficult to build it is a beautiful piece. The finish is a high gloss acrylic, stained well, even shades, done very well, no runs. It will be good for kitchen spills, easy clean. (I have mostly antique pieces, so I can appreciate the finish in the kitchen.) Every piece was the correct size. There are EXACTLY the correct amount of screws and caps. No extras, so be careful of how you screw in each one. You don't want to have to go to the hardware store to replace one screw.Long review, but I wanted to make sure that you were aware this is not an easy build, IMO. But it is a great piece. I couldn't take a star off because it is a bit harder than most. I do get the impression this will be a long lasting item, as in the acrylic will wear and it will still be in use.I recommend this with the above caveats. Enjoy!It's 3/5/24 and I have been working on the upper shelf areas. I used this ladder rather than going to go get a construction ladder. Had to update to let you know that it didn't scratch anywhere. So in addition to the heavy duty wood the finish is high end, amazing.

This is a pretty and sturdy little step stool, just what I wanted for my walk in closet. It was hard to assemble, and I mean REALLY hard, as these things go. The instructions were fairly clear and all the holes lined up fine and all the parts were there. But it was extremely hard to get the wood screws in. I needed a hammer drill with hex and Phillips bits, a mallet, and my 33 year old son to do it for me. He is a welder, so a strong and capable kid, and he commented on how difficult it was. A sixty year old woman like me with a cordless drill and a tiny allen wrench was no match for it. So seriously think twice before purchasing this.

Absolutely love this step stool!The assembly is very quick and very easy, the wood feels solid and sturdy, the colour is emaculate and has a classic look. I purchased this stepping stool for my kitchen, which easily stores under my kitchen island AND I can use it as an additional seat when friends are over. Awesome multi-functional item.

el banco está perfecto, buena altura, soporta un peso medio, es para uso leve. Importante, no hay que tener prisas para armarlo y debe atornillarse con cuidado, en cuanto ajuste, porque se barre fácilmente. Hay que hacerlo de preferencia entre dos personas, si no malabares tendrán que hacer. Está pesadito. Con todo, me parece algo caro para ser un banco.
