A step stool is a short, self-supporting portable platform or ladder with one or more flat steps, designed to provide a small height boost for reaching higher surfaces, changing a light bulb, or accessing higher areas in a home or workplace. They are often lightweight, easy to move, and provide a stable surface, making them a practical and safer alternative to standing on chairs or other unstable objects.

Key characteristics of step stools:

Height:

They provide a limited height increase, suitable for tasks that are just out of normal reach. 

Portability:

Most step stools are lightweight and easy to carry or move to different locations as needed. 

Stability:

They are built to be stable, with flat steps and sometimes non-slip surfaces to provide a secure footing. 

Versatility:

Step stools are used for a wide variety of purposes, including reaching high shelves, getting into high-profile vehicles, or even as an extra seat. 

Common uses for step stools:

Household tasks: Reaching high kitchen cabinets, changing light bulbs, or retrieving items from high shelves. 

Medical assistance: Helping people get in and out of bathtubs or high-rise vehicles. 

Children's use: Helping children reach a sink or a countertop to help with cooking. 

Workplace applications: Providing a small boost for tasks in homes, offices, or even some specialized fields. 

Safety considerations:

Ensure the step stool is placed on a flat, stable surface. 

Do not stand on the top step or overreach with a step stool; use a regular stepladder for higher reaches. 

Choose a step stool with anti-slip features for added safety.
