Wooden footstools – lacquered pine step stool

The plate on the top kitchen shelf, the book right at the top of the cupboard – sometimes you're just a few centimetres short. This wooden footstool gives you those centimetres. The lacquered pine step stool is there when you need it. It also looks homely enough to stay out in the room. Made for your kitchen – and for every other corner where you need a little extra height or a small surface.

What changes for you

• You reach wall cupboards and shelves easily and safely. The footstool is built as a sturdy, robust step.

• You don't have to worry about edges when children dash through the house. The corners are rounded.
• You simply wipe off splashes and dust. The lacquered surface makes care easy.
• You can start using it straight away. The wooden bench arrives fully assembled, with no screws and no instructions.

Why this wooden footstool makes a difference every day

Wooden footstools are everyday helpers you only really appreciate once you have one. Sometimes a step, sometimes a footrest by the armchair, sometimes a small stand for your favourite plant. Instead of a plastic step that disappears into the storage cupboard, this is a piece of furniture you're happy to have on show. So the helper stays within reach. It fits into the room as wooden furniture instead of getting in the way as a plastic step.

Material & finish

The footstool is made of pine and neatly finished. You can feel it in the slightly curved step, which follows the shape of your foot comfortably, and in the rounded corners. The lacquered surface protects the wood in daily use and is easy to wipe clean. Wood is a purely natural material. Each piece has its own grain, varying shades and sometimes small knots. This is not a flaw – it makes your wooden footstool one of a kind. The bench is made in the EU.

How to use the footstool

• In the kitchen: you step up onto the stool for a moment – and the baking dish from the wall cupboard is in your hand, with no stretching and no wobbling.
• By the reading chair: feet up, tea beside you – a fifteen-minute break becomes a really cosy moment.
• In the children's room or bathroom: your child reaches the washbasin and light switch on their own – and feels a little prouder and more independent.
• As a plant stand: your plant gets a small stand by the window – and the room instantly looks more lovingly furnished.
• In a shop or café: you raise goods on the counter or in the shop window to a second level. The display looks tidier. At the same time, your staff have a solid step for reaching high shelves.

Good to know about the stool

The German word "Schemel" (stool) goes back to the Latin "scamellum" – the little bench. This makes the low stool and step one of the oldest forms of furniture of all. It has proved itself in households for centuries. That is exactly why it is still useful today: a simple piece of furniture that works equally well as a step, a footrest and a small surface.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. When needed, simply wipe the lacquered surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid constant moisture and harsh cleaners. This way the pine keeps its well-kept look for a long time.
