The Toe-Kick Step Stool might not be the best solution for your kitchen cabinet.
For those in need of a step stool in their kitchen, a toe-kick step stool might look like a viable option. However, in actuality, the available options don’t deliver the optimum capabilities for a home resident. Simply put, the current toe-kick designs are inferior to other options, namely the Step 180 kitchen step stool.
A traditional toe-kick step stool doesn’t deliver height.
A conventional toe-kick design offers about 5″ of height to a user. The simple toe-kick design just doesn’t provide the height utility that justifies the cost when looking at a new kitchen design. When you compare such designs to the Step 180 cabinet step stool, which offers 15″ of height advantage, the utility of a toe-kick stool is, if you’ll pardon the expression, dwarfed.
Foldable toe-kick step stools fail the convenience test.
There are some toe-kick step stools that feature retractable step-stools. The user is expected to pull the toe-kick unit out and then get the unit inside to pop up. This seams rather complicated. A 70-year-old grandmother can deploy the Step 180 modern step stool in 3.5 seconds with two motions using one hand. She can close it just as fast.
Your home needs a modern kitchen step stool.
The thing about having a hidden kitchen step stool is that you want the deployment of such a device to be an eye-opening experience for your guests…an not eye-opening in the “What on earth are they doing all the way down there for so long?” kind of way. You want a device in your kitchen that is fast, convenient, strong, space-efficient, modern and…cool. Learn more about the Step 180 Integrated Cabinet Step Stool.
So what should you do with the toe-kick?
Well, it’s up to you, but we’d recommend that you use it for more storage. Preferably for stuff you’re not going to need access to very often.
