Squatty Potty The Original Toilet Stool - Bamboo Flip, 7 & 9 Height, Brown

I’ve been using random objects in place of a squatty potty for years, and I’m glad I finally got the real thing. This one would look great in most bathrooms, can adjust to different sized toilets by using a different size, and is nice quality. My one complaint is that the screw head caps come off fairly easily sometimes, but I’m not really worried about it. BUT if you have a pet or small child, be careful with those. Go get yourself a squatty potty now—your bowels will be happier.

Like it. But put it aside when not using. Broke my toe kicking in on the middle of the night. :-)

I found the fit and finish of the Bamboo FLIP Squatty Potty unit that I received mid-October 2019 to be good, and the assembly to be easy. The four major pieces were reasonably smooth with a bit more roughness on the edges of the two larger sides where they fit together once assembled. I did not encounter any problems with splinters. The screws supplied were adequate for the task of screwing the sides together; they were not high-grade fasteners however. The supplied hex-key wrench was also adequate but not high-grade. None of the fasteners required excessive torque; the two on the right-hand side of the taller platform side did require more torque than any of the others but it was still manageable with the supplied hex key wrench (using the longer side of the wrench to turn the shorter sides head inserted into the top of the fasteners). All of the holes for the fasteners lined up correctly. I followed the standard practice of only torquing the fasteners loosely until all were in place, and then performing a final tightening to finish putting the fasteners in their final positions. Once assembled, the Squatty Potty unit was sturdy enough for its intended purpose. There is a sticker on one of the sides (that is inside the assembled unit) warning against using the unit as a standing platform (stool), and it would clearly NOT be suitable as a standing platform based on the lack of support on all sides and the slope of the sides. It is more than adequate for the purpose of supporting ones feet and legs as indicated for the purpose of altering ones body posture while seated on a standard US plumbing fixture toilet. The short side varies in height from 6.5 inches to slightly over 7.75 inches. The tall side varies in height from 8 inches to just over 9 inches. The included instructions indicate that the correct position is with the platform surface sloping down away from the plumbing fixture (highest point closest to the plumbing fixture).

Super easy to assemble and looks nice and it does what it says!

Just buy it. It’ll make your life better and free up time to devote to more important matters.

I have this in the plastic version and love it so I decided to get this one for my second bathroom because the wood looks nicer. Its ok but the original plastic one is much better.

For shorties like me with potty issues, it makes doing my business more comfortable. It feels like the most natural sitting position. Doesn’t pull my back and it’s nice to look at. Not so clinical.
