This lightweight, portable stool is the bridge between movement and relaxation.

The adjustable strap makes this crafty stool easy to carry, but if you don’t want an additional item added to your load, it’s small enough to fit in a bag and light enough that it won’t weigh you down.

Ready for its next adventure, this portable, lightweight stool is the bridge between movement and relaxation. Its fish-scale design allows for an easy retraction from a 2.36-inch disk to a sturdy 17.72-inch seat that holds up to 400 pounds.

“I have never loved a product as much as this! Absolutely revolutionary! To think of all the hikes I’ve been on where I wish I had something to sit on or I could take a load off take my backpack off or just enjoy the view and take a breather. Absolutely the best thing yet!” —Chewbacca

“We bought these stools specifically for when we have to stand in line for over an hour at free movie screenings, and they’ve been a game-changer! They’re super sturdy, easy to open and close, and lightweight enough to carry without hassle. We’ve gotten a lot of use out of them already. One tip: definitely buy a seat cushion to go with them — after sitting for a while, your butt will thank you. Overall, this is a solid purchase for anyone needing portable seating on the go!” —T Reed

“This is an excellent stool for things like waiting in very long lines, or seeing shows at festivals (or other events) with limited or no seating. I have three compressed discs and while I can walk long distances I just can’t stand for more than a short time. I’ve brought this to two multi-day festivals that had lines and venues without seating. It made the experience so much more enjoyable each time.” —Mstove

“So far, so great !!! I’m amazed at this thing. It’s great !!! It’s easily carried with you, easily set up and taken down, supports a lot of weight and feels perfectly safe. I think I’d feel a little uneasy with it on uneven ground though. I’ve used it a few times and when I do, I have to show it to people. They’re amazed and say that they are getting one or are going to tell a friend about it that needs one.” —R. Culp

“I weigh 325lbs. Was skeptical with the 400lb rating. After using this for > 6 months I give it 5 stars. Solid and sturdy when set up.” —Patrick Lloyd
