IKEA Quietly Released a Fresh Take on a Beloved Stool (Shoppers Are Buying Multiple!)
A step stool is one of those overlooked household items that always comes in clutch when you’re changing a lightbulb or grabbing something from the top shelf. IKEA had a step stool that shoppers loved because of its low price, sturdiness, and classic design that went with pretty much every aesthetic. So when it was discontinued a few years ago, it was a sad day for shoppers. But there’s great news: The BEKVÄM step stool is back and it’s better than ever, thanks to a few new key design features.
What Is the IKEA BEKVÄM Step Stool?
The BEKVÄM step stool is a solid wood two-tiered stool that gives you almost 20 inches of height when you need a boost. Both the previous and new versions of the stool feature a hand hole on the top step to make carrying easier, but the latest version also has grooves in the wood of both the top and bottom steps to lessen your chances of slipping.
Why I Love It
The BEKVÄM comes in both a natural rubberwood finish as well as white, and will only set you back just under $26. Unsurprisingly, people are so excited about the new release.
“This is a great stool. Easy to put together and handy to have around,” one IKEA shopper wrote in a review. “I have four of them around the house. Can’t live without them!”
Another person added, “We have owned one of these step stools for two decades or more! Finally getting it back in stock, we bought two.”
“I love this little stool!” someone else said. “It is sturdy and attractive. It sits near my door with a basket on it, ready for whenever I need it. I use it for everything from reaching top cabinets to painting walls, hanging pictures, etc.”
If the IKEA step stool sells out too fast (it’s definitely a possibility!), then you can find a similar stool on Wayfair. This version is $47 and comes with slip-resistant feet and is stained with a warm honey tone. Like the IKEA BEKVÄM, it also features a hand hole at the top and is made from solid wood.
Pick up the new version of the IKEA BEKVÄM stool to always have a leg up at the ready when you need it.
