It has been said that having a stool provides you better support for number two, and I can attest that it has done just that. It’s made the process feel much more comfortable. It’s actually super sturdy, a little difficult to fold, but instead, it can be pushed to fit under the toilet seat. It actually gives the restroom a way more interesting look with the bamboo/wood texture so that’s definitely a bonus! For a toilet stool, it does exactly what it needs to and as advertised. Would highly recommend this product as its pretty high quality. Don’t expect to ever need to replace it as they seems like I’ll be owning this for the rest of my life.
