James Foldable Wooden Stool

I have an admissions to make. I like mini versions of things as I think they look really cute! This is really cute! :0) When folded it looks a little like a gingerbread house - so even folded it looks appealing! I'm only 5ft and ever since I moved into my place I have kept my kitchen things at a lower level. I have a little step ladder but I can't get it close enough to reach some of my cupboards. I kept thinking about getting one of those Addis plastic step stools. My Dad used to have one and it was OK but bulky and always felt a bit unsturdy as if a leg might give way like plastic garden chairs do. I have size 4 feet and my toes and heel overlap by a tiny bit but I each end (of foot) but I am very well supported. I just also tried the 'change a light bulb' position with it and it feels better than my step ladder or a chair. This little stool is the business! Very sturdy! I love the foot grips as I am always barefoot or in socks at home and it has grips on the feet too so it doesn't slip on the floor. I thought it might not be high enough but I can happily reach all of my top cupboards now. The only thing I would say is when it is picked up make sure both hands are supporting the section of wood just below the actual step as it folds so easily it might catch little fingers. Or it can be picked up from finger holds in the middle of the actual step - picking it up this way folds it immediately. I love it! It's perfect! I don't need a man after all........! Hehe! :0) .

Yeah I think these are great. They fold up narrowly and stand up like that on their own. I put them in the bathrooms and laundry and closet. Very sturdy. Utilitarian sure, but still a beauty. Works well with a minimalist or nordic decor, but could easily go traditional or other. Pleased.

Brilliant little stool. I got this following the use of a plastic one that guarantees it can hold 15 stone+ well I'm 10 stone and two of them broke on me so I decided to not go with cheap crap plastic and try this. I have used it numerous times and it feels very sturdy beneath me and I feel safe standing on it (unlike the plastic ones). My partner, who is heavier has also used this without any concerns. I would recommend it but check it carefully on delivery as my first one had to be sent back due to poor quality/fit of the various pieces. It looked like it had just been thrown together without checking for quality of final product.

Nice sturdy piece but the hinges could cause finger trapping and injury.

A little pricey compared with other folding steps but definitely worth it as the appearance, finish and sturdiness are outstanding. Truly a quality product, I'm very pleased I chose this over other available options.

This is really useful to get that extra height to reach cupboards, change the light bulbs and water plants in higher places. I had a plastic one that worked well for a while but the handle pushed in. This wooden one not only looks better but is stronger too. It does not however fold quite so flat.

I love this stool. I've bought several of the plastic types and they've always cracked in the same place. This looks good, is well made, strong and well worth the extra compared to the plastic version.

Nowhere near worth the price. It seems sturdy enough but the non stick spots on the top are stuck on sloppily making it look cheap.
