SPECIAL OFFER compact perching stool padded back blue

Product Details

The Compact Perching Stool is designed to support people who find prolonged standing at sinks, worktops, or in the shower uncomfortable or tiring. It allows the user to perch in a semi-seated position, reducing strain on the legs and lower back while keeping them at a practical height for everyday tasks. This makes it particularly useful in kitchens, bathrooms, and shower rooms for activities such as washing, shaving, food preparation, or washing up.

The gently forward-sloping seat encourages a natural perching posture, making it easier to sit down and stand back up again. The modular design allows the stool to be configured with armrests and a backrest where additional support is needed, helping improve stability and confidence. The padded vinyl seat is comfortable and easy to clean, making it suitable for regular use, including in splash-prone environments. The epoxy-coated steel frame provides strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.

Assembly is simple and does not require tools, with easy-grip fixings that are well suited to users with reduced hand strength. Height adjustment allows the stool to be set to a comfortable level for both the user and the task, while the compact footprint makes it easy to position in smaller spaces. White and blue versions are available, with the blue option featuring a padded backrest.

    Perching stool

    Review by Ann Clayton Posted on 22/09/2022 12:45:14
    Bought for my 91 year old mil who has mobility issues but with the stool in the kitchen she can now stand at the worktop/sink and do small things for herself. Just a little bit of independence back. She loves it.
