I made 4 of these Steve in Marin folding stools last weekend and gave one to my granddaughter today. She was very proud of it and just called to tell me that she loves it and has figured out how to fold/unfold it by herself! My daughter sent me a pic of Ella and her new stool so thought I’d share. These are really simple and quick to build and are very sturdy. I just oiled it with mineral oil and then sealed over that with a couple coats of shellac. Pics #4 and5 show how it folds. I may have to get ‘Ellie Mae’ to model all my projects!

Nice job on the stool. It looks to be in good hands there with your sweet little granddaughter.
Did you adjust the size for the little ones?

It is a great design. I have made them from kids stools up to card table size.
For cleaner appearance try screwing the top and stretchers on with counter sunk holes in the underside.
