This stepstool is perfect for my kitchen. I'm only 5'1'' and I constantly have to use a stool to reach things in my cabinets. When I saw this very slim, pretty blue step stool I had to have it. It replaced a much older step stool that I've had for 35 years that was not only wobbly, but was prone to closing on us if we stood on it in a certain way. This new one is so pretty and slim, that I am actually storing it in my kitchen for all to see! It is very sturdy and locks in the open position so there won't be any accidents. It's easy to open and close and takes up almost no space leaned against the wall.
