For standing, you want a set of steps, not a stool, of any design.

I find a one-piece plastic four legged single step (which is effectively a
stool designed specifically for standing on) much more comfortable for
standing on than a set of steps, because the area on which my feet are
supported is larger and I can step on/off from any direction. Sets of
steps are much better at dealing with standing at variable heights.

I use platform steps, of different heights, which not only give an adequate
standing area, but also have a handrail and, sometimes, a tool tray, at
waist height.
