Light Weight

When you’re in need of some impromptu guest seating (indoors or out), these fun-coloured and super-sturdy stools are a lifesaver. Believe it or not, they can hold up to 225 pounds but only weigh just over a pound! They also fold up neatly and have a convenient handle for easy transport. If you happen to venture into the wilderness this summer, they’re easy to clip onto a backpack and make for comfortable seating around a cozy campfire (your log-perched friends will be green with envy). But let’s be honest, what we like most about them is that in black, yellow, red and blue – they’re so great looking!
