I am very excited about this stool as I have been searching around the apartment for something just this height. Shown next to one of our dining room chairs for scale, this lovely three legged stool can be seen on the streets of Beijing as a comfortable and portable seat for some of the more elderly population. It is just slightly above squatting height so if you want to squat (which is the way many Chinese hang out) it can take the pressure off your thighs.It is also very useful if you think you might want to do some squatting during the first stage of labor but find that your legs get tired after about 10 minutes. It is a great little stool!

We have one of those stools and I absolutely love it. It's a milking stool from dad's days on the farm. (and now I am wondering where it is. I don't remember seeing it on the last trip back home)
yes, where is that milking stool? i thought you had it...
