Source-backed model brief
The Costway Bamboo Kids Kitchen Step Stool is a fixed-frame model with a 21 by 19.5-inch footprint and three published platform positions. This brief keeps its verified physical specifications separate from contradictory first-party age and inventory signals.
Short answer
That conflict comes first. The current product page says 18 months and older, while the linked manual says the product is not for children under 3. The same storefront visibly says out of stock while its embedded data says in stock. Three numeric platform heights are published, but age and availability remain unresolved.
No matching notice found is not proof of certification or zero risk. Recheck before purchase and whenever you inspect a used unit.

Identity before features

What matters for this model
The product page states use from 18 months, while the official manual warns that the product is not for children under 3 years. The catalog leaves age unverified because choosing either statement would hide a decision-relevant conflict.
The published table lists platform positions at 14.5, 17.5, and 20.5 inches. A separate image-alt phrase mentions four levels without supplying a fourth number, so the catalog retains the three numeric settings.
The visible official page says out of stock while embedded structured data says in stock. ASTM and CPSIA compliance is also a manufacturer claim without a linked exact-product certificate or report. Neither signal should be strengthened beyond its source.
Hands-on gate remains closed
A source record can establish published dimensions, identifiers, instructions, and recall scope. It cannot establish real-world stability, assembly quality, cleanability, surface grip, hardware durability, or how confidently a child enters and exits.
Those questions remain open until an exact physical unit completes the published protocol. This page therefore contains no score, star rating, safety verdict, or purchase recommendation.
Keep comparing

Questions parents ask
The current source record lists 21 x 19.5 x 36 in. Published measurements are manufacturer-stated unless the evidence badge says measured.
The current source record lists 3 levels, 14.5–20.5 in. Compare the discrete positions with your counter and child rather than relying on the overall range alone.
