Winsome Wood Step Stool, Antique Walnut

Pros:

* Beautiful dark wood and elegant construction. You can leave it out all the time.

* Easy to assemble.

* Wide steps.

* I didn't realize when I got it, but the ability to fold up the bottom step means this thing is great to just leave out with a small footprint.

Cons:

* None. I love this thing.

I bought this because I have cats and large dogs and I feed the cats on a table above the reach of the dogs. However, one of my cats is 17 years old and her days of leaping up three feet are long gone. I had a basket that cut the distance down to half that, but she still sometimes fell. I searched all over for "cat stairs", but apparently no one has filled that little niche market yet. I had also tried an old wooden stepstool, but it had very narrow steps and after I watched her slip off that too I knew I had to do something. It really broke my heart to watch her, so I'm very thankful to have found this perfect stepstool. Each level is only a foot high now and the steps are wide enough that she feels safe and solid on each one. It's also not a bad thing that's it's so pretty it's a permanent fixture and readily available for me to move over a few feet and use to get in a high kitchen cabinet.

I' m very happy with the stool now that it is put together. It looks great in my kitchen, but it took my husband over an hour to put it together and he is very handy.

I bought this product and received it last week (6/7/11). It takes at least an hour to assemble, but that isn't much of an issue. What is an issue is that screw holes don't line-up properly, so assembly is more difficult than it needs to be. Further, the finish on the wood is poor in several places. One entire leg of one large side piece was improperly sanded before the finish was applied. In order to be more "safe" this product should have rubber 'feet' on the bottoms of the leg pieces. This is not an issue unless you will be using the steps on a smooth surface. Basically, this is a typical, average, foreign-made product. Functional, but not what you expect to get.

Nice little stool. You need to assemble it yourself which took me about 20 minutes. The only fault is that the base is the same width as the top so it can be a little unstable if you're not careful. Make sure you step on the middle of each step instead of the sides.

I read the reviews before buying this step stool, so I cannot say anything negative about the assembly. (I knew what I was getting into.) But, just to alert other potential buyers, the quality of wood/finishing on my stool was not worthy of the time to assemble it! Perhaps my particular stool was a fluke.

The item's function as a step stool is absolutely fine, but the finishing quality gives the appearance of an item one would NOT want to show in daylight. sorry, but true!
