A foldaway stepping stool apparatus includes a backplate attachable to a cabinet and a stepping stool mountable onto the backplate. The stepping stool is configurable into deployed and folded configurations. The stepping stool includes a platform, a pivotable front leg, a pivotable rear leg, a latch, and a bracket coupling the latch and the front leg. The latch operates to lock the stepping stool in the deployed configuration and to secure and free the bracket, enabling movement of the stepping stool between the deployed and folded configurations. The backplate includes a track for removably receiving the stepping stool. The track enables the stepping stool to slide in and out thereof to attach and detach, respectively, for use at the cabinet or away from the cabinet. The track further enables the stepping stool to slide therethrough to contact a floor to support the cabinet while the apparatus is mounted thereon.
