This step stool has a very retro style but feels modern. It’s quite comfortable with a fairly large seat and so far very sturdy when using the steps. A major issue some people have had after assembly is that the chair legs are uneven. To avoid that, I made sure to not screw one side too tightly before moving to the other side. I kept all the screws fairly loose until I had all of them in, then I tightened everything. Some of the pieces look like they won’t fit but if you line things up properly and take your time, they do.
