Review on 🌳 Storl Organizer Storage Stool: Ideal for Toys, Clothes, and Kids - Tree Design, 12Wx13H by Weston Metzger

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easily holds a 175 lb adult!

I was amazed at how realistic this log storage stool looked. I have a lot of real wood decor in my house and this would fit in quite nicely, minus the unwieldy weight and possible floor damage of a solid real wood log (I have those too). And the memory factor solved the problem pretty well as I could use more and more memory. It is very light and easy to move. When I first received the wooden stool, I was a bit concerned that it would be flat, how strong could it be? The body or shaft of the frame is made of plastic plates connected with flexible strips, it is connected as a whole with vertical stiffeners molded in plastic, so it's quite difficult. You open the round, barrel-shaped case and insert the bottom round plate to hold the round shape, and then you have a lid that fits snugly on top. It has more storage space than you might think, I buy coffee pods in boxes of 100 and put them in my bag and they all fit in neatly leaving room. And it looks incredibly vivid and realistic! What struck me the most was how real it looked. At first glance my husband thought it was a real tree. So we wanted to test it now. It says it can carry up to 220 pounds, but it also seemed like a lot of people would be buying it for kids. My husband weighs about 175 pounds. He sat in it and watched tv almost every day for 2 months and it has held up great with no signs of breakage or deterioration. Although I asked him if he thought I could sit on his lap and he said no. πŸ˜‚ This exceeds the limit. I actually think it's better suited for older kids or adults, and here's why: For example, if you get into heat πŸ”₯, throw yourself onto a log with some force, especially at an angle or to the point where it may tip over possibly remove the top cover or even the bottom plate causing the log to collapse as the top and bottom plates support its rounded shape. How small children can playfully jump or climb on a stool. I believe the 220 lb limit refers to the weight of a seated person or an object heavily centered on it. If you want to use it like a regular seat, you're good to go. Just thought I'd post it there. Overall, I really like this item and would definitely buy it again and recommend it.
