I worried about how I would get around on a couple of active trips I had planned.

What a relief it was to discover theGiraffe Creation folding stool.

I ordered it with great anticipation, and it exceeded my expectations.

What I like most about the stool is its simplicity.

It expanded and locked into place within a minute.

Then, when I was done, I twisted it in the opposite direction to quickly collapse it.

More than one fellow traveler swore they were getting this stool for themselves.

I am not the only person whose travel plans were saved by this stool.

They explained, you’re free to take it everywhere.

Great for parades, concerts, festivals, or any place without a seat.

Another reviewerused it for other activities like sitting in long convention lines and watching fireworks displays.

It offers a sense of freedom and comfort so you’re able to put your best foot forward.
