I built a wooden step to help my wife get into bed. After she tried it out, she decided that it needed to be higher so I added a 2” addition to the step. In addition to the extension, I also added an outrigger to stabilize it if you stepped on the edge of the step. I used biscuits to attach the extension to the original step, because it would be the most minimalistic method and still allow for some lateral adjustment during gluing.
