Puhlmann Foldable Step Stool

I mentioned it December last year, found to replace a vintage kitchen aid that I decided to sell.

Now this is even coming to work with me tomorrow! I'm facing a job for a chain department store where the last time there was a shortage of climbing/sitting material, without any alternatives like canteen chairs or bottle crates, due to how they are organized and the type of products they sell it's just not there. The few steps were reserved for people counting higher parts, I was forced to do the lower middle gondola isles without. But I'm that short! I was working standing tiptoe for the tops but also kneeling and sitting on the floor for too long, where a low stool gives you a least a break from that. When I went home I could barely walk so that is not happening again.

Gave the thing a thorough brush up this afternoon but years old stains didn't come off. Too bad, it did fresh up a bit though. And yes the carrying handle is broken off, but I won't need it. 

It still folds as well and fits perfectly in a supermarket plastic tote bag. For the occasion I'll use a light weight backpack for my meal and other stuff. Not preferred because I hate the taking off and putting back on of backpacks for sitting in the car or public transport, but in this case I'm happy I can just open my storage and pick up an old curb find to not have two arms full each holding a bag.

I'm not a brand stuck person, but there's something I like about Puhlmann for making smart handy products. And I remember this camping table. Look for it soemewhere in the middle of the post.
