Here is a piece I was commissioned to build. It’s a step stool that made from finished plywood. The owner wanted something simple and light colored. I used pocket hole construction, sanded to 320, applied two coats of polyurethane and used contact cement to adhere the non-slip pads. It works well and doesn’t tip over, unlike some of the other designs I have used in the past.

Thanks, It’s not completely my design in the first place. I saw one similar to this one on Amazon. Personally, I think it needed some sort of stain or paint finish.

Great design, yours or not. Looks very useful.
What are the overall dimensions? I’ll be stealing this one.
Great job!

I like the simplicity of your step stool. A well thought out design and looks to be very safe and stable to use.
Nice work!
