Abstract
A convertible elongated stepping bench configured to be uses as a standard step stool or a low profile sitting or kneeling platform. The bench includes an elongated rectangular, lightweight rigid frame with two opposite leg assemblies. Each leg assembly includes two pivotally attached rigid legs. Each leg is pivotally attached to a corner of the rigid frame. The leg assemblies pivot between a diagonally downward position that supports the rigid frame in an elevated position over the ground or fold inward, under and rigid frame. Attached to the outside surface of each leg near the pivoting hinge is a foot pad. Extending downward from the bottom surface of the rigid frame are at least two leg stops. When the legs are folded inward, the distal end of each leg rests against a leg stop so that the leg's axis is parallel to the rigid frame's longitudinal axis. When the leg assemblies are folded inward and the bench is placed on the ground, the feet pads on the legs supports the bench on the ground.
