I recently purchased a Rubbermaid 1-step step stool because I need that extra 10 inches of height to easily reach the upper cabinets and shelves in my kitchen. I especially need the extra height to access the cabinet over my oven where I store my baking pans. It seems I need that extra step up somewhere in my kitchen on a daily basis.
I have several step stools that range from two steps to four steps stored in various places throughout my home. The more steps they have, the heavier they are to move. While I love my 4-step foldable step stool, it really is too heavy for me to constantly be moving around or using on a daily basis. While the 4-step ladder is still necessary to reach the top shelves of the cabinets, I rarely need the items I have stored on those shelves. Frankly, I am surprised I haven't previously bought the much lighter weight 1-step step stool.
Because the Rubbermaid 1-step step stool is so thin (2") when folded for storage, I can slip it between the end of my counter and my refrigerator. That keeps it close at hand when needed.

I recommend this specific step stool for several reasons. It has a lock to keep the from folding up when I am standing on the stool. Plus, I really like the rubber grip on the top and the rubber feet that keep it from sliding.
