What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This folding step stool raises you 4 inches, which is half the height of a standard step. That makes it easier to get into a car, onto a bed, or over a single step at a house entrance. It can also give you a little extra reach for a kitchen shelf. It supports up to 300 pounds, and it folds flat to reveal a carrying handle, so you can take it with you or put it away when you're done. Because it only adds a small lift, it won't help where the gap is much bigger than a few inches.
