Crate and Barrel's Black Folding Step Stool

Okay, I don't actually own this stool. I own a VERY VERY similar one that they (some company) stopped making a few years back. But they look the same, same price and same everything. And I feel confident in saying that this stool is one of my most favorite things.

This is the best stool! I love it - especially with kiddos. It can hold up to 300 lbs (which is nice to know that i won't crush the little guy!) and folds nearly flat. I store it next to the refrigerator and in between my washer and dryer. I have three of them and we use them daily. My 4 yo loves to get it out in the kitchen and help me stir the eggs, wash dishes, wash her hands, help me cook ANYTHING and reach into the fridge to grab a yogurt. My 7 yo likes to use it to reach into all of the high cupboards that he's just not quite tall enough to reach. I also keep one in their bathroom, which makes it nice for when we have other friends over -- they can all reach the sink to wash their hands (a  total pet peeve of mine, btw - not washing your hands after using the restroom - GROSS).  My daughter also uses it to hang up her clothes in the closet! woo hooo!

My mother, after visiting me for a few days, loved mine so much that she went out and bought 3 herself. They really are a great step stool. Oh! And one more great thing about them -- helloooo - they're only $13 each. Woot woot! I love them so I wanted to share with you as well.

Enjoy!
