Bamboo Toilet Stool 8.5 in Collapsible Squat Stool - Space Saving

In this review the reviewer finds the Bamboo Toilet Stool 8.5 in to be a simple, effective bathroom aid best suited to adults and children who want an easy way to reduce straining while using a standard toilet. The bottom line: it is ready to use out of the box, folds flat for storage and is made from solid bamboo with metal hinges that feel sturdy. For anyone wanting a natural, nonplastic stool that improves posture on the toilet, this model delivers the single biggest benefit of converting a sit- style toilet into a more ergonomic squatting position without any installation.

Key Features

• Ready to use: The stool requires no assembly, simply pull out the legs and place it at your toilet for immediate use.
• Two size fits: The 8.5 in height is designed for toilets around 16-18 in and is comfortable for many children and shorter adults.
• Foldable design: Four metal hinges allow the stool to fold flat so it stores easily in narrow spaces or behind a cabinet.
• Strong bamboo construction: Full bamboo boards with a 0.79 in thickness provide a solid, non-slant platform with a high weight capacity and natural look.
• Safety grip: Two long non-slip strips stabilize the stool on most bathroom floors and help keep feet from sliding.
• Easy to clean: The smooth, flat surface wipes clean with a damp cloth or can be rinsed, making maintenance simple.

Who It's For

People with occasional constipation, hemorrhoid sensitivity, or anyone who wants to reduce straining will find this stool useful; it raises the knees to a more ergonomic position and is a simple way to change toileting posture without modifying plumbing. The natural bamboo finish also suits those replacing plastic aids with wood for aesthetics or environmental reasons.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need a permanent, nonfolding medical step with rails or a very low-profile model for extremely tight spaces. Also, very tall users who require a higher platform than 8.5 in should consider alternate sizes designed for adult leg length.

Pros & Cons

• Non-slip strips and a wider foot platform give a secure, comfortable stance.
