A stepstool (10) is disclosed having a central planar top platform (14), four support legs (20,22,24,26) for supporting the platform, and a pair of storage receptacles (36,38) extending outward in cantilever fashion from opposite sides of the stool. The receptacles (36,38) are open at the top to accommodate receipt of tall bottles or the like, and act as counterbalancing weight with which to stabilize the stool against tipping. The stepstool receptacles hang above floor level a nominal distance so as not to interfere with level positionment of the stool upon the floor surface.
