Abstract
A step assembly is stored in the overhang area of a kitchen counter when not in use. The step assembly is deployed into an extended position by kicking a vertically disposed front wall. Springs then cause a linkage to deploy that positions the vertical front wall away from the front of the counter. The front wall is then pivoted into a horizontal plane where it provides a step that enable a user to reach cupboards mounted above the kitchen counter.
