Product review (5 stars): Love mine and send these as gifts to newlyweds
This step stool is the kind that has wheels so you just kick it into the place you want, step on the first step to make it stop rolling, and then it is secure for you to step up to the top step to reach shelves or cabinets in a kitchen or workshop. Step down and the wheels extend and you can kick it to a new place. They are often found in libraries. I bought one for home and love it so much, I get them for people as a wedding gift for their new home. I generally send the stainless steel version to match modern appliances and to fit into kitchen decor. I figure this material also makes it rust-resistant for a damp basement, if that ends up being the place it is used the most.
