I'm tired of stubbing my toes on the little step-stool that's sitting in front of our vanity right now. Anyone have an idea for a latch/slide mechanism that will automatically close the step after the child steps down? Good idea Hutch! I’m tired of stubbing my toes on the little step-stool that’s sitting in front of our vanity right now.

Anyone have an idea for a latch/slide mechanism that will automatically close the step after the child steps down?
