Every home cook aspires to have a well-stocked kitchen in the way of essentials and fresh foods. How about tools? My Dad always says, "use the right tool for the right job." But, he was talking cars, and we're talking kitchens. Trust me when I say yours needs a folding step stool.
Collapsible step ladders can serve a lot of different purposes. In New Orleans, we use them to get a leg up on the parade route prizes. A collapsible stool serves the same purpose in the kitchen: reach new heights with these models.
Best Folding Step Stools
