Sturdy little step stool, but it has a deep knot in the wood that catches on socks
Its really unfortunate to purchase a custom made step stool with choice of finish and have a bad imperfection right in the middle of the bottom step.  It can't be sanded down because it would ruin the custom finish and its pretty much impossible to not step on the rough spot because its right smack in the middle of the step.  The step stool is nice and sturdy, but you'd think being custom made, the placement of the knot could easily have been put off center, so it wouldn't be exactly where you need to step to use it!
