Firstly compared to other step stools this is actually higher so instead of still having to use tip toes while on it to reach you dont. Unlike most i tried.
   Secondly there have been step stools i bought for my kids and thought they would be sturdy only to find out no they were not. This one however is extremely sturdy so no worries that it might flip or you might have a kid bonk their head. Also can hold me up and im 140 so thats a big win. Also i use it as a seat near the tub while washing my infant which it fits my bjm on it comfortably. 
   Last i never new about this stool before getting it as a sample but if i saw it i would actually buy it just simply because how it looks. Now that i tried it i am considering buying another for in the kitchen for myself and older children.
