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

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

Easy to assemble. Gets the job done. I like the two height options

Good quality product made with bamboo and easy to put together and clean.

Easy to put together, looks nicer than the plastic versions. Exactly as expected.

This is primarily going to be a rant about how I ordered this on December 9th as a prime item for a Christmas gift and it wasn’t even shipped until the 22nd- and didn’t get to me until yesterday, which was two days AFTER CHRISTMAS. There’s no way for me to contact them directly to complain about it so this is the best I can do. The product itself is fine. I have one already and I love it and I’m sure this one, as a gift, will be just fine also. If you want one then just plan on waiting a month for it when you order it. Beyond upset about it and will 100% NOT be continuing my Amazon Prime membership when it runs out, since my whole deal is for the two day shipping and that seems to be practically non-existent.

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).

I have toyed with getting one of these for a long time and when I saw the bamboo rather than the rigid plastic I went for it. Great choice. I am short so it is a little awkward, but has already made a difference after 2 movements. 8-)

I have two of the original ones and while those work great, the white plastic doesnt exact look classy or premium. Im a fan of bamboo and the fact that this supports two different heights of 7 and 9 makes this a versatile option. Putting this together was simple enough with the included wrench and the instructions were simple to understand. My only negative feedback is that I dont particularly enjoy that the surface you put your feet on is slanted. This is a matter of preference of course, but I prefer my feet to be flat like they are able to with the original plastic version.

I have the original SP and as with countless others, its transformed my time on the porcelain throne. Recently I added another bathroom to my house so it was time to order another SP. Went with this one because of the two height option feature and the nicer aesthetic. One big plus which I had not considered is it hides much better under the toilet bowl when not in use whereas the original SP still stuck out a lot. The drawback of this is there is less room for your feet, especially when using the taller height side. For me, its not an issue but I could see some people preferring the full footprint to rest their feet upon. I think the tradeoff of a better looking, more compact, and height optional model is worth the small sacrifice of less area for your feet. The other thing worth mentioning is you do need to assemble it. However it is extremely easy and the hardware is included (4 screws and an allen wrench). A nice detail added are little covers to insert over the screw heads to make them blend in more with the wood look. Assembly shouldnt take more than 5 minutes for even the least handy of individuals out there.

I had the plastic one at my house when my now wife saw it she made fun of me. I told her, use it. She did and now we have the three most expensive ones they make. Thanks squatty potty for turning my $15 splurge into an almost $100 purchase… it works by the way, that’s why we have them. Do yourself a favor and don’t be like my wife. It’s weird, but trust me, it delivers results.
