Hey! This step stool is a family piece from my great grandmother’s home. I plan to refinish it but have absolutely no idea where to start. I’m a 22 year old women in an apartment, so please let me know where I can rent/buy the necessary things! The top is padded, but we are ok with taking it down to the metal and not repadding the top. I mainly need to know how to remove the rust from the unpainted metal. I’m thinking of leaving the painted steps and seat rim as they are to show the piece’s age, but let me know your thoughts!
