I am a rather vertically-challenged cook, and I've been getting tired of dragging a chair out of the dining room into the kitchen when I need to something down from a high cupboard. Enter this stool, which folds up and fits perfectly between the cabinets and the fridge. It's a short cook's best friend.
Weighs 2.4 pounds. Holds up to 300 pounds.

Great find! I'm actually tall, but my even taller brother in law put the cupboards up a tad too high!
I went on a binge and bought 5 of these stools. One each for the kitchen, bathroom, garage, office and storage room. One of my favourite-ever products.
Bonus: Put a board across two stools and make yourself an impromptu bench.
I love that this stores flat, but I worried it was not quite sturdy enough for kitchen tasks (pulling out a large heavy bowl or small appliance from up high)--even for a 110 lb person. I put it to use in my clothes closet instead.
I have one. I love them.
@ValHalla, they take my 150lbs as well as my hubbies 250lbs. Never had a problem.
Have had one for about a year, love it! It stores easily by the fridge and allows my daughter(4) to be more independent in the kitchen.
@ValHalla (and for everyone else): I've discovered that the sturdiness of this stool really depends on standing in just the right place. If you balance your weight and stand in the right spot, it's sturdy enough for anything, but if you're not careful with your footing, it can be a hazard.
We have several of these in the house. It's great for the kids so they can reach the counters. And I use them to reach high shelves. I've never had a problem with the sturdiness or tipping over. This house highly recommends them.
Hey, that's my son's tooth-brushing stool! Works great, we love it.
