Oh, I saw them when they were pointed out to me, Leon. But most women

While I made a 2-step stepstool to reach up to otherwise inaccessible
areas, it lives in the mudroom on the "park side" of our house. In the
kitchen on the street side we have a kickstep roll-about stepstool that
we special-ordered through Goodman's Hardware before it sadly closed
(pancreatic cancer of owner).

You're one of the few men in the country whose wife will let a set of
steps or ladder get anywhere near their PROTECTED AREA, the kitchen.
You should feel grateful. titter


To me, well worth the investment - lightweight, sturdy and you can kick
it around when you have your hands full, as when putting away groceries.

I keep a 2-step folder in the utility room next to the kitchen since I
use it very, very seldom.
