A bench step to aid in mounting a bench platform provided by the common drywall bench is provided having a support portion adapted to be fit over a step rail provided by the drywall bench, the support portion being held in place on th e step rail by a flange that extends from the support portion. A spacer portion extends from the support portion to distance the support portion from a step portion that extends out from the spacer portion. The step portion is provided with structural support by a step support portion that angles downwardly from the step portion to contact the drywall bench and thereby support the step portion. While the bench platform provide d by the common drywall bench is usually accessed by stepping from the floor to a ste p rail provided by the bench and then subsequently stepping from the step rail to t he bench platform, the bench step of the present invention facilitates access to the bench platform by providing,by means of the step portion, an intermediate step between the floor and the step rail. Preferably, to provide structural integrity, the bench step i s formed from a single sheet of metal, such as aluminum, with each element of the bench st ep being formed by means of a bend in the metal.
