'5 Star Super Deals' launched the 'Medical Stepping Foot Stool' to enhance bathroom safety for all users. This foot stool has thick non-slip feet that prevent it from sliding, even when under its maximum load of up to 450lbs. The surface of this footstool is textured to provide excellent grip to the user, while the surface also features various drainage holes to prevent water buildup when used in a shower setting.
While this stool is intended for use by seniors, adults, and children who could benefit from an extra level of safety in the bathroom, it is also lightweight, meaning it can be easily transported to any part of the house. Weighing in at only 2.5lbs, the innovative design of the Medical Stepping Foot Stool allows it to help all family members safely reach heights in their home without slipping and falling.
