We've got four stools that could be used.  All of them fold up. Two of
them we got on the web, one is 12 inch and the other is 18 inch.  Then
there is a more sturdy white one that has two steps and can be used as a
sit stool to get to the lower shelves for longer sessions (e.g.
cleaning).  Finally there is one we got from our Lowes that has three
steps and a handle one can hold onto for stability.  We rarely use the
top step, only leaning against that one for additional stability.
