step ladder
Painter's portable perch
A step ladder is a portable ladder with flat steps instead of rungs, designed to stand on its own without leaning against anything.
It typically has two hinged sections that spread apart to form an A-frame shape.
Step ladders are common household tools for reaching high shelves or changing light bulbs: I need the step ladder to paint the ceiling.
