Rolling Step Stool

What is so great about a rolling step stool?  It rolls!  The mobility is a wonderful convenience.  Being able to move the step stool with “no hands” provides a tremendous advantage, in the kitchen and garage.  Another great thing is it stops rolling when it is stepped on.  Today, rolling step stools are made with retractable (collapsible) wheels or casters.  Most rolling step stools are round and have two steps.  The round design assists with mobility and with maneuverability in tight areas.  The two step design provides “sure footing” and balance for the user.  It is safer than one, higher, step.  A rolling step stool is an asset at home or at the office.

When shopping for a rolling step stool, there are a few things to keep in mind.  Quality construction, warranty, size (diameter and height), and design are some important points to consider.  Most of these step stools are made of steel.  Some are made of heavy duty plastic.  Always, check return policies and warranty policies.  The diameter of a round rolling step stool, generally, varies between 13 and 16 inches.  This should be considered for smaller areas.  The height, also, varies between 14 and 17 inches.  Although most rolling step stools are round, some are not.  Some have built in storage compartments.  A few designs have the first step on one side only.  Most round rolling step stools have “step-up” ability from three directions.  Some of the best sellers are:
