Here’s an indispensable item everyone needs to have around the house.

Our three-step fold up stool is a great convenience. It’s also lightweight, compact, sturdy, and safely puts even the highest shelves comfortably within reach.

BONUS PLANS: Order our 3-in-1 Bachelor Bench, which incorporates an ironing board into the step-stool as well and save more than $9.

There are at least two other reasons why the three-step stool makes for a great project (and after building yours you are likely to come up with many more).

First, the project is perfect for those who have never before encountered a hammer and saw. This project is straightforward, requires no fancy tools, and is of a manageable size.

Second, the step-stool makes for a great gift. No doubt, having made one for yourself, you’ll want to make countless others as practical and thoughtful gifts that will long be treasured and used regularly.

Our plans for this project are drawn to full-size and come with a materials list and all the instructions necessary to build this step stool in no time at all.

Finished, the step stool stands 27-inches tall.
