Winsome 94022 Ascend Step Stool, Walnut

I gave this as a gift and it was well received. She liked the look of it so much she uses it as a piece of furniture in the living room. I thought it was pretty easy to assemble.

The step stool was a slight challenge putting together, it takes two people because it's so awkward. Once all the screws were tightened, the step stool works like a charm. I no longer dread going into my pantry. I can reach everything now. I would highly recommend purchasing this item. We also use it for a seat at the counter as well when my boys friends come over.

This item is just perfect: sturdy, attractive and exactly the right size. The useful piece looks like a decorator item.

I never had my own favorite ladder, but this would be that. I never want to go higher than this one, but if I do have to, it'll be like another step higher and that's it. So that's why I also got the other ladder that's higher. Oh yes I know they're not ladders, but I'll never have a favorite ladder, so this is my favorite and it'll get me as high as I need, especially while doing the in house projects we have to do..I put a complete cover on the top of foam and gripping protectors, and I will be putting one on the bottom, because when I dance around the house while doing the projects, I also have on my project shoes, and they're simply fantastic jazz dance shoes, so they slip and slide, and on the ladder they slip and slide you right out the window if you're beside one.The legs touching the floor, you should also think about putting a grippy there so the unit doesn't slip either. It's the perfect size for my special projects up there and up there with the cleaners and the tools, not to mention drill and screws. It's shiny and beautiful.When you're not using it you can use it as something like holding your fan in the kitchen, or you can have the guys sit on it while putting their dirty shoes on. You can do many things with it, it doesn't have to always be used as a step stool but when you do use it that way, the hard work you did to put it together becomes worth it in so many ways.It is hard to put together so if you have never done such a thing, make sure you do it with a friend or loved one, they'll love to help you, all you have to do is ask, you don't have to do everything yourself, and there's no reason you should. Just take care of this piece of luxury you put together, and it will take care of you for as long as it can, don't throw it anywhere, don't slam it down, don't jump on it, and don't be such a cluts around it.Don't forget to rubberize the bottom of the legs so you don't slip because you will some time if you don't. Now excuse me I have to go change a light bulb and need the step stool holding the fan in the kitchen. Enjoy.

Easy to assemble.Solid construction.Good height to sit on and for reaching closet shelves.Very stable....and looks good.

This stool is nice and solid. I've had other stools before that we're not so nice and solid, but this one is both nice and solid. It's a nice solid stool.
