Gone are the days of performing balancing acts on your countertops or dragging over a dining chair to reach the top shelf in your kitchen. You don't need to rearrange furniture or put your safety at risk to get to those hard-to-reach spots. All you need is a kitchen step stool – and in particular, this one from Joanna Gaines' Target collection.
As someone with a small kitchen, you'd think I'd be averse to adding anything else to my minimal floor space. However, a kitchen step stool has proved that it's worth giving up the small amount of square footage it takes up. Not only is it practical for reaching tall shelves, but it also provides extra surface area and additional seating if needed. Joanna Gaines' design is even foldable, and right now, it's on sale for less than $50.
