Kik Step – Silvertone Review
(1) If you have wood or vinyl floors, and you find yourself trying to get about a foot higher to reach something, this stool is excellent. The stool is heavy duty, so most men will be able to step up on it carrying a heavy load. The finish is polished steel, which looks excellent with a minimun amount of cleaning.
There is a good amount of rubber to keep the stool from damaging walls, doors, or furniture if it should be pushed into one of them by accident. The stool has spring-loaded rollers that permit easy movement of the stool from place to place. The rollers retract as you apply weight to the stool so that the stool remains in place. The stool give you 14 inches of height, which is good for many household, workshop, office, or library needs. Even some large pantries or closets could use one of these stools. The steps have slip resistant rubber on them.
This step stool is my preferred variety because of its sturdiness and quality. If you keep the stool clean it will maintain its appearance for years. It is easy to use, move and store. The general design of this product has remained stable for years, but sometimes a product works so well that it seems there is little that can be done to make it better. This product is those nearly perfect products.
(2) This stool has a very functional design as it is easy to roll around with your foot and stable when you step on it. Rollers seem to be well made and treads are well attached to the stool. It looks pretty good too in our kitchen with black granite and stainless appliances. My 2 year old is not quite heavy enough to depress the stool over it’s spring-loaded wheels onto the floor, so it has tried to scoot out from under him a few times before he got all his weight on it. My 4 year old and 9 year old have no problems with it. My wife uses it to reach up to the top shelf in our tall cabinets and in the top shelf of the pantry.
(3) I’ve used one or another of these stools for over 25 years. We needed another one for our new closet, and it was a joy to see this one works just as well as all the others. The wheels are spring loaded and automatically retract when there is weight on the seat.
Easy to roll, absolutely secure when you sit or stand on it, foolproof in operation, safe for kids, won’t harm finishes. They’ve only gotten a little fancier; according to Kik Step’s website, there are now ten designer colors.
