We tried the cheap plastic bathroom stools like Spongebob, bjorn, etc. They are too light, too narrow, and too short. The KidKraft is heavy so it doesn't get knocked out of place. It is quite sturdy. It is much higher than the cheap plastic stools so a toddler can actually comfortably reach the toilet AND the sink taps. There are two problems with the Step N Store, but we could work around those problems whereas we could not work around the problems with the cheap plastic stools. The KidKraft's painted surfaces can be slippery especially if the child wears socks in the house. We put a non-slip film or rubber on ours. We put the non-slip rubber on the feet too because the stool can also slip on smooth floors. Also the KidKraft manufacturing is quite poor and we had to improvise with one screw hole that was not drilled properly. But the stool has done the perfect job for us ever since.

This stepstool comes un-assembled. But it is easy to put together. It is a very sturdy wooden stepstool that has a little storage space to make it fun for your toddler to stuff things into. I use this for my (under 2 year old) toddler who is learning how to brush her teeth and wash her hands. It is sturdy enough to stay in its place and just heavy enough that she can't drag it around the house and use it. I purchased the white one so that the kids can paint on it when they get a little older. I recommend any Kidkraft product. Anything they make is well built and easy to put together. So you don't have to wait for "daddy" to get home and put it together. Anyone can do it.

this has given my 2 year old a sense of independence and we all love it!! she washes her hands and brushes her teeth without help now. it's sturdy and cute and was easy to put together. a bolt was cross threaded so i called the 800 number and they said they'd send a replacement.
