FAQ
-
What is the weight limit for The Step Stool?
The weight limit for The Step Stool is 200 pounds, making it strong enough to support toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-aged children, and even adults who need extra counter height. The 200-pound capacity ensures durability through years of daily use for handwashing, tooth brushing, cooking activities, and bathroom routines.
-
What is the best age for The Step Stool?
The best age range for The Step Stool is 3 years old through 8 years old or until children exceed the 200-pound weight limit. At age 3, most toddlers have developed the balance, coordination, and motor skills to safely climb the two-step design and stand at the 12-inch counter height with adult supervision. This age-appropriate design supports independence during potty training, handwashing routines, tooth brushing, meal preparation, and kitchen helper activities that build confidence and practical life skills.
-
What is The Step Stool made of?
The Step Stool is made from Baltic Birch wood, finished with eco-friendly, non-toxic water-based finishes. This premium wood combination is NAF-certified (No-Added Formaldehyde), ensuring completely safe materials for children's daily use in kitchens and bathrooms. The Baltic birch plywood provides exceptional strength and durability. The natural wood finish complements any home décor from farmhouse to modern minimalist, and all materials meet or exceed US CPSC safety standards for children's furniture.
-
What is the best place to use The Step Stool?
The best places to use The Step Stool are bathrooms and kitchens where children need counter access for daily routines and family activities. In bathrooms, it provides perfect height for independent handwashing, tooth brushing, and potty training routines at the sink. In kitchens, it brings children up to counter height for meal preparation, cooking activities, washing hands before dinner, helping with dishes, and participating in family baking projects. The compact footprint (15"D x 14"W x 12"H) fits easily in small spaces, while the lightweight yet sturdy construction allows children to move it independently between locations. The non-slip furniture pads keep it stable on hardwood or tile floors throughout your home.
-
How do I clean and maintain The Step Stool?
Cleaning The Step Stool is simple—wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry completely before use. For tougher stains or sticky residue, use a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water. Avoid soaking or submerging the wood, and never use harsh chemical cleaners, bleach, or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the natural wood finish. Keep the stool indoors in dry conditions away from excessive moisture. Periodically check the modern hardware and tighten screws if needed to maintain stability. The non-slip furniture pads should remain securely attached—replace if they become worn or loose.
-
Does The Step Stool have non-slip pads?
Yes! The Step Stool includes (4) non-slip furniture pads that attach to the bottom feet, preventing sliding on tile, hardwood, laminate, and linoleum floors commonly found in bathrooms and kitchens. The pads protect your floors from scratches while keeping the stool securely in place during use. The combination of non-slip pads and the stool's wide, stable base creates a secure stepping surface for safe daily use.

What's the difference between The Step Stool and The Double Stool?
The Step Stool is designed for one child (14" wide) while The Double Stool accommodates two children simultaneously (22.5" wide). The Step Stool works perfectly for households with one child or where bathroom and kitchen space is limited, offering a compact footprint that fits easily in small bathrooms and tight kitchen corners. The Double Stool is ideal for families with multiple young children who need to share sink access or want to help in the kitchen together. Both stools have the same 200-pound weight capacity, 12-inch height, two-step design, and quality Baltic birch construction.
-
Will The Step Stool fit under my bathroom or kitchen sink?
Yes, The Step Stool's compact dimensions (15"D x 14"W x 12"H) fit easily under most standard bathroom and kitchen sinks when not in use, making it ideal for small spaces and minimalist homes. The 12-inch height slides neatly into the cabinet toe-kick space or vanity overhang area, keeping floors clear and walkways unobstructed when the stool isn't needed. This space-saving design is especially valuable in small bathrooms, powder rooms, or compact kitchens where floor space is premium.
