Description
This blue telescopic folding stool stands 45cm high with a 25cm seat and collapses down flat when you are done with it, priced at $39.99 with fast Australian shipping. It is moulded from polymer polypropylene, has no fabric to tear or frame to rust, and the supplier states a maximum load of 250kg.
The telescopic design is what separates this from a camp chair. A folding camp chair is comfortable and takes up a third of a boot; this collapses to a disc you can carry in one hand or clip to a bag. That makes it useful in the situations where nobody brings a chair but everybody wishes they had one - the queue outside a venue, the sideline of a junior sport game, a market stall, the bathroom while helping someone wash, or a caravan where every centimetre of storage is already accounted for.

Why Choose This Folding Stool
-
Collapses to a disc - not a folded chair shape, an actual flat disc that slides into a bag
-
45cm seat height - matches a standard dining chair, so it works at a table rather than only on the ground
-
Nothing to rust or tear - one moulded plastic construction with no fabric seat and no metal frame
-
Wipes clean - a rinse under a tap deals with sand, mud and fish scales
-
Extra seat at home - it lives in a cupboard until guests arrive, then it is a seat
How Small Does a Telescopic Folding Stool Collapse?
It compresses along its own axis, so the collapsed height is a fraction of the 45cm extended height while the 25cm seat diameter stays the same. Practically, that means it packs like a large frisbee rather than like a chair - flat against the back of a camping tub, in the pocket of a fishing bag, or upright in a caravan cupboard. It is the collapsed shape rather than the collapsed volume that makes the difference; flat things store where bulky folded things will not.
Is a Plastic Folding Stool Stable on Grass or Sand?
Less than on a hard floor, and it pays to know that before you sit down. The base is a flat disc, which spreads weight better than four narrow legs on soft ground, but soft sand and long grass will still let one side settle. Press it down and settle it before putting weight on it, sit centrally rather than perched on the edge, and avoid slopes. On concrete, decking, tiles or a caravan floor it is entirely stable.
Who Actually Uses a Portable Folding Stool?
Anglers, because it fits in a tackle bag and does not mind getting wet. Parents at junior sport, where there is never enough seating. Market and craft stallholders. Campers and caravanners short on storage. Concert and event queues. And a large group of people using it indoors: as a shower or bathroom seat for someone who cannot stand for long, as an extra seat for visitors in a small flat, or beside a desk when helping a child with homework.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 250kg load rating tested?
It is the figure our supplier states. We publish it as supplied rather than as an independently verified rating, and we would encourage anyone near the upper end of it to treat the stool conservatively.
Does it have a backrest?
No. It is a stool, not a chair. That is the trade-off that lets it collapse flat.
Can it be used in the shower?
The material is waterproof and wipes clean, but this is a general-purpose stool, not certified bathroom or mobility equipment. Anyone who needs a shower seat for safety reasons should use a purpose-made, rated shower chair.
Will it hold on a wooden deck?
Yes. Hard, level surfaces are where it is most stable.
Does it lock when extended?
It holds its extended height under load by design. Always check it is fully extended and settled before sitting.
How do I clean it?
Rinse with water and wipe dry. There is no fabric, so mud, sand and salt water all come off easily.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes, with supervision. The collapsing action can pinch fingers, so children should not extend or collapse it unsupervised.
Fast Australian Shipping
Orders ship from within Australia to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin, plus regional addresses across the country, dispatched promptly with tracking.
General-purpose seating only. This is not certified mobility, bathroom or medical equipment and must not be used as a shower chair, step stool or ladder. The 250kg maximum load is supplier-stated and is not independently verified by us. Always place on a firm, level surface, ensure the stool is fully extended and settled before use, and sit centrally. The collapsing mechanism can pinch fingers - supervise children. Dimensions are supplier-stated and may vary slightly.
