THE GAP
While working around the house, many times I find myself that no matter how much I stretch I can not reach things that are higher, slightly away from my extended arm, then  I have to stop what I'm doing and make a trip to the basement to get the ladder to do the job, and I hate it.Normally in situations like this the thing I almost always have around me is my old toolbox, then why not to standup on a tall and strong toolbox serving as a stool  to save me the trip to the basement to get the ladder.

PRIMARY NEEDS COVERED
1) The device is safe to use

2) The device is easy to operate
3) The device is able to carry all my tools
4) The device is stable when used as stool
5) The device can be operated by any adult
6) The device has a lock to keep the lid closed
7) The device is light weight
8) The device is carried with just one hand
9) The device is a minimum of 30" wide by 12" tall by 12"deep
10) The device has an anti slippery surface to stand
11) The device is transported by a handle in top of the lid

THE CONCEPT
The concept selected to close the gap and satisfy the needs is the Small Toolbox-stool.
This artifact is a small toolbox with strong design that can be used as a stool just by closing the lid and stepping in top of it. 
This concept is selected from the other ones because it was the one with the most votes from the people I interviewed, being the reasons, very good idea, small size, cute looking, easy to manufacture,  easy to store, low price, I need one!, I would buy one.
Personally it is my selection too because it is the one with the highest rating  from the evaluation performed on Week 4 about the factors I consider are the most important ones.
