DeWalt's Storage Step Stool is a toolbox with folding aluminum legs hidden in the lid. Pop the top off, unfold the legs, and you've now got an additional 18 inches of height.
The company says it will hold 300 pounds of weight, but I'm assuming they mean just the top surface. Watching the video, the lower step looks a little janky to me:

Seeing it in the toolbox-with-legs configuration, my initial thought was I'd like to have something like this out here on the farm, to keep my toolbox out of the mud when I'm working outdoors. Then I realized, if I got mud on the feet and folded that back into the lid, well, now I've got mud on the tools.
I do like the concept, though. I'd love to see a little competition in this space among toolbox manufacturers.
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

DeWalt Toolbox Has Folding Stepstool Hidden in the Lid
I think thisnis a decent concept. However I agree that it appears that a 180-200 lb man twisted that lower step, I'd hate to see hownit distorted under 250-300 lbs. Looks like it would be a hazard to me.
