Bathroom stool?

[spk926]

I want a white, two step stool for DD's bathroom.

Is this IKEA one the one people recommend? Or is it too tall? I've also found one on Amazon but it's nearly double this price.

We have this one. www.amazon.com/KidKraft-Two-Step-Stool-Natural/dp/B0002MGAVO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1444620534&sr=8-5&keywords=children%27s+stool

Can't speak to the Ikea one but the open step design might bother me, at least for DD2. She's pretty clumsy even on the KidKraft one and I could see that being a problem for her.

The Bekvam one is crazy tall. I just got it a couple weeks ago and DD2 standing on it is really pretty scary. (I got it so the older kids can put dishes away/get them out so it'll get used). It's basically as tall as standing on the seat of a kitchen chair.

But if you have some handy skills you can hack it into a learning tower like these people: www.ikeahackers.net/2013/03/lucys-learning-tower.html

We already have a Learning Tower in the kitchen. I don't want a large piece like that in the bathroom. I thought it looked too tall for a bathroom stool. Thanks for confirming.

I'm not sure if it's available in white elsewhere, but we have this one and it's a good size:

I bought a Glotten for our bathrooms. DS (37" tall) uses it at the sink to reach the faucets. It only comes in bright yellow, which is not my first choice, but it was the only stool I could find that was two steps and tall enough without being too tall for bathroom use.

ETA: if you really have to have a white stool, you could spray paint the steps before assembling.

DD is only 21 months so I wanted a taller stool for her to use since most I found were only 11". I got a collapsible two step stool that is 17.5" tall. It's perfect now, so I think the ikea one you posted (19.5") would be too tall. The one I got only comes in gray though.

I do not like the wood ones. They bang up the cabinet around the sink. Their plastic one, we have it in two heights, is very stable, and has rubber feet to keep it from sliding. It does not bang up the cabinets or slide around.

We have the wooden ikea one and we cut the legs off so that the bottom step is about 3 in off the ground. I love it.
