StrongTek Enhanced Squatting Toilet Stool, Wooden Potty Stool for Bathroom, Extra-Thick Wood, Sturdy 350 lbs Capacity, Comfortable Toilet Stool for Kids, Adults & Seniors

This is an update to my first review. The seller was very responsive when I notified them of a small chip and they responded quickly and professionally. Excellent customer service, and a very good product! As far as the effectiveness of stool itself, all I can say is that it really works! The concept behind using the stool for an easier and more natural toilet experience absolutely works! I noticed a big difference within a day or two!

Gets your butt aimed properly. Seems a bit taller than I expected. Might be more comfortable if 1 1/2" or so lower but first time I've used one & lost a lot of weight so no padding on my bottom. Extremely well made, wide enough, looks great.

It's very well made, strong, and very easy to put together. You only need to screw the middle bottom piece in with 2 screws, and the allen wrench is provided. It's worth the money. Highly recommend.

The stool is well made and sturdy. It was very easy to insert two screws to use and easy to clean,

Here's my weirdly in depth review: Cons -Not ideal for a very small or cramped bathroom. It projects too far forward. -Doesn't keep you're circulation from cutting off as the OG squatty potty does. Might be less of an issue if you don't have an older or smaller toilet. The shape of the stool doesn't have the foot placement far enough apart. -The black traction mat can make it look dirty. Still looks much nicer than the plastic ones. -Wish there were more color options. A cherrywood finish or dark walnut colored finish would be nice. Minor complaint tho. Back when I bought it it only came in the standard light bamboo. Pros -Definitely helps with doing your business. Just not as much as it could since foot placement is tighter to the front. -VERY VERY sturdy! Which is more than I can say for the OG and others on the market. -Made of solid wood. Despite the traction mat collecting more dust than other surfaces, the wood makes it look much nicer than others on the market. -Comes pre-assembled and well constructed!! Unless things have changed since I got this one back in 2021. Most other wooden stools require assembly and have a similar price. Or they're made of trashy plywood. -Worth it for the price. Overall I recommend this one if you're looking for a stool that will last and doesn't look like it's made for a child or assisted living. My main issue is the shape of the stool, which might not be a problem for most people. The foot placement still isn't far enough apart. It's still an improvement if you have nothing else to compare it to for healthy circulation and digestive health. It's just not as much of an improvement as the Squatty Potty I had before. It's shaped like that for a reason. But the quality of material was garbage compared to the new one and still makes a positive difference when using the bathroom, which is the whole point.

Well made and attractive. 2 screws and done. Highly recommend.

This is a very nice beautifully made stool! Easy to store away, extremely sturdy and well made.

AS A HOUSE TOOL: Sturdy, compact, with locking hinges, great for changing lightbulbs, reaching higher shelves, etc. Slip resistant, skid proof top. Small grandkids use it to wash hands, independently! AS A TOILETING AID: wonderful! for the elderly or ANYONE who has trouble fully evacuating bowels, this is a wonderful tool. If it's too tall, leave it folded for generous results It also has a nice esthetic and can be left out.
