A ladder and ladder rungs are provided. In one embodiment, a ladder comprises a first assembly having a first pair of spaced apart rails and a plurality of rungs extending between and coupled to the first pair of spaced apart rails. At least one rung of the plurality of rungs may include a first support surface portion, a second support surface portion, and a channel extending between the first support surface portion and the second support surface portion. In one embodiment, a rear surface of each of the first pair of spaced apart rails defines a plane and the first support surface portion is located on a first side of the plane and the second support surface portion is located on a second side of the plane. In one embodiment, at least one other rung is entirely positioned on the first side of the plane.

A step stool includes an expandable tray assembly. The expandable tray assembly has a fixed tray panel and a movable tray panel coupled to the fixed tray unit for movement relative to the fixed tray unit. The movable tray panel is illustratively movable between a collapsed position, arranged above the fixed tray panel, and an expanded position, arranged adjacent to the fixed tray panel.
