Know before you buy
Yes, the stool arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use right out of the box.
The stool is finished with a protective oil and wax blend. This provides a natural, matte look while offering a layer of defense against everyday wear.
No, the Merton Step Stool is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the solid wood construction and finish.
The stool is engineered with a balanced, sturdy frame specifically designed for stability. While it lacks a back or arms, its 18-inch square footprint provides a solid, reliable base for reaching high shelves.
Simply wipe the stool down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying, and occasionally apply a wood-safe wax to maintain the luster of the oak.
