Review on 🏞️ Functional and Elegant: Kings Brand Large White Finish Wood Bedroom Step Stool With Storage by Cool Martin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Designed for stationary use. hardware problems. Yes, you need to assemble THIS

I liked the idea of the step stool with extra storage hidden in the fold down step and a touch of neighborhood appeal in the design. But there are problems! First, it's quite heavy, so it's really designed for stationary placement, not the things you want to move around a lot. Assembly is mediocre and a little tricky if you're not IKEA-savvy; It comes with instructions, but remember that you have to put it together in the exact order as shown, like a Chinese jigsaw puzzle, or you'll have to undo what you did and start over. My order had a unit with 3 C-shaped "cam locks" that fit around the screw heads that were pressed tightly together and I had to use pliers to pry them apart. break when assembled! For real? The wood is actually chipboard, not solid wood, so again. These screws don't hold up very well as they have fine threads, not what you would expect from a "wood screw". So over time it will loosen and stretch. with movement. May I recommend it? Hmmm. I think it might be ok for a bed/bedroom but not for a kitchen where you have to move it around to access the top shelves and stuff.
