We’ve all needed a step stool at one point in our lives, but few of us have considered the convenience of a step stool chair – that’s the practicality of having steps to reach something, with a chair built in to place in your kitchen or office. Infinitely useful, a portable kitchen stool with steps is the hybrid product you never knew you needed, and we’ve selected a few of the best down below.
Retro Padded Step Stool
Ivy Bronx
This step stool with a padded seat has a retro throwback look to it due to its nostalgic frame design and metal accents. Available in black, gold/white, or teal, it is recommended that you avoid using electricity near this stool.
$85.99
$172
Designer Advice:
For a fun vintage look straight from the swinging ‘60s, opt for the teal color option and purchase objects such as tea-towels for your kitchen in similar teal, aqua, or mint shades. Pastel shades are associated with this era, so don’t be afraid to commit to your color scheme for a retro look that remains timeless.
Ridged Steel Stool Chair
This step stool can support up to 200lbs and is foldable for convenience. Featuring slip-resistant steps, its ridged design is sleek and trendy and will ensure comfort when you are using it as a seat.
Designer Advice:
Available in an antique walnut color, this step stool with a seat will fit into any contemporary kitchen. You can use it as seating for a kitchen island, or in a living room when you have extra guests around. The wood gloss finish makes it look expensive, so we recommend pairing it with furniture in a similar walnut hue for a cohesive look.
Modern Folding Kitchen Step Stool with Seat
Laurel Foundry Modern Farmhouse®
The understated modern design of this kitchen step stool is sure to fit into any kitchen, and the two color choices of white and cappuccino mean you can choose your perfect match. It has slip-resistant steps and feet, and a safety latch on the side.
$63.99
$145
Designer Advice:
Slightly curved at the edges, this step stool in white would look great in a kitchen with gray accents such as gray walls, tiling, or countertops. While white accents would also match, sometimes an all-white kitchen can look bare and unwelcoming. By introducing elements of gray, you can create a cozy atmosphere.
Black Kitchen Step Stool with Seat
Simple and with a minimalist design, this step stool has three steps that then retract to turn into a handy seat. With a 200lbs maximum weight limit, it features telescoping and can fold for easy storage.
Designer Advice:
The smooth matte black finish of this step stool seat means it isn’t just limited to a kitchen, although it would look sophisticated when paired with a black or marble kitchen island. However, it does not have any anti-slip features, which could cause accidents when it is used as a step stool.
Wooden Kitchen Step Stool Chair
Alfi Brand
Wider than others on this list, this step stool chair has a generous weight capacity of 550lbs, ideal if you often lift heavy objects or often need two people on a job. Better still, the wooden frame is lightweight and easy to transport.
$259.51
$570
Designer Advice:
We recommend using this stool in the kitchen or in an entryway, where you could place shoes and bags in the open space when your stool is not in use. Alternatively, its rustic wooden design would look amazing in a farmhouse coastal kitchen with a stripped-back kitchen island or cupboards.
This padded step stool constitutes a retro proposition for all enthusiasts of vintage design. Practical functions are smoothly combined with exquisite functionality. Includes a removable seat.
I am not sure if there is any gorilla who wants to get on the top of this padded step stool - but it would be enough stable also for such a big animal. Lightweight and secure thanks to continuous rear leg support.
