The folding step stool is a very simple but incredibly useful piece of furniture to have around. It always seems that there is never anything suitable to stand on when you want to change a light bulb, or reach the very top shelf of a cupboard that is just a bit too high, and this is where a folding step stool really comes into it’s own.
Not every house has the space to keep a stool to use for occasional tasks such as changing light bulbs or reaching the top of something, which is why having a stool that you can just fold away and slip neatly into a cupboard or under something is such a great idea. They take up miminal space, so you might want to have one upstairs and one downstairs to save you having to carry your folding step stool around, although it is worth noting that not only are they very compact, but a plastic folding step stool is also incredibly light so you can carry it around the house with ease. Unlike a chair or step ladder, you don’t have to worry about knocking into things or damaging door frames or paintwork as you try and take it through the house to wherever you want to use it, and you don’t even have to take it back to it’s original storing place if you find you can put it away in the room you just used it in, so long as you remember where you left it so you can find it easily next time you want to use it.
Cheap folding step stools are so easy to fold and unfold and are so versatile that you can use them practically anywhere in the house, and they also lend themselves to being used outdoors too as they are made from easy to clean, durable plastic, meaning you can just give them a wipe down if they get muddy. A folding step stool is one of those things that you didn’t think you needed until you got one, then you wonder how you ever managed without one
