The two differences are that the back is not padded and the top step flips up

A great step

Heavier than I expected - makes for a very sturdy step stool.

The top step is somewhat narrow for those with larger feet

Just what I needed, great help while cooking and preparing meals for family, steps are also sturdy, but it looks and works great!!

Most convenient step

Drag, flip up the seat, step

The seat is NOT a top step, and is lifted up so that the second step may be accessed

Nice step.

Very handy and useful serving as steps and additional high seat in the kitchen

This is a fairly well made step chair

Cheap materials, steps are not spaced out well enuf (tripping hazard) and you have to take the seat off to put the backrest on, then reinstall the seat

I have three kids under 5 and I love the steps because they can easily climb on and off the stools

As I was stepping onto the top step I grabbed the side of the cabinet and the whole thing slid under from me.

Good step stool and great price.

The chair gives a good step stool, is good for at the countertop for writing, paying bills, and the kids love to sit on it doing homework.

And the steps are a good

Best step stool.

These are great step stools that double as seats for just pulling up for chatting in my office.

The seat has to be lifted up to access the top step

Sturdy and solid, this step is a bit heavier than expected

the whole stool is too wobbly to ever have anyone stand on the top step...

The steps are convenient to reach for stuff when I needed.

Not the equivalent of a step ladder, but a handy (and more attractive) step stool to have in a kitchen with tall shelves.

The chair seat flips up allowing it to function as a proper step stool

Just an unnecessary step for us to do

Love the steps, but the seat is very heavy and sort of slams down.

This is a good step stool and seat but does not fold up for easy storage

I am thrilled to have a new retro version of the step stool that I love and one that had special meaning for me.

With the seat folded up, my 2 year old can sit on the top step a t the table.

The steps are perfect and the seat have a little bit of padding

Nice sturdy step stool, great for my toddler to reach kitchen sink/counters.

Nice sturdy step stool

I prefer the steps to pull out.

They make a very serviceable chair for a kitchen cabinet and a very sturdy step stool

The steps catch a lot of crumbs, but clean up easily with the vacuum

It's still an effective step stool, so it serves its purpose.

Great product; works as a chair most of the time and a sturdy step stool when needed.

Great step stool

It's well worth every penny and served as a boost seat for my children and grandchildren as well as a step stool for myself.

Nice step stool or counter seat

Plus, since I'm short it's great to have a step stool available at all times.

The steps are easy to access--just flip up the seat.

The low first step is perfect for me to reach spots high in the cupboard and the second step has helped me to hang curtains.... exactly what I was needing

an unstable step-stool??)3) Seat does not latch up the way I remember, so seat hits your knees when standing on it -- ouch4

Love the flip out steps.

This is a versatile step stool

The top step has a sharp edge on the bottom which is not friendly when folding the steps in and out.

When I first started looking for a step stool like the one I had in the 60s, nobody, included Amazon, stocked this.

The fold out step is perfect for a small boost to help some people reach those higher shelves

Still a nice step stool.

The steps don't pull out like the old fashioned version of this stool, but the seat flips up for access to the upper step.

The low first step is perfect for me to reach spots high in the cupboard and the second step has helped me to hang curtains.... exactly what I was needing

It works at the kitchen bar, with him sitting on the seat and at the table with the seat up and him on the top step.

It works quite well, the steps are sturdy if somewhat narrow

With the seat folded up, my 2 year old can sit on the top step a t the table.
