A stool is essentially a seating equipment with no back or armrest. For centuries the term was synonymous with a three legged seat designed especially to spruce up the interiors. It was the standard piece of seating arrangement for majority of people, while chair was reserved for people with important personage.

The use of stools has not changed much but it has evolved significantly to include comfort, aesthetics and functionalities. This has fueled the growth in its popularity and is used in many households and workplaces today. If you desire cushion, versatility and choice, adjustable stools should feature prominently in your shopping list.

A majority of the stools are specially designed to fit a certain table height. While this may be acceptable for most applications, there are times when fixed height stools are rendered useless. As a result of this adjustable stools gain precedence over fixed height stools as it imparts convenience and flexibility, and is apt for both household and office use. Adjustable stools don't need to be changed when the furniture accompanying it are changed. This translates into a long term investment and would last for many years even if the decor is changed frequently. Adjustable stools also play a crucial role in reducing ergonomic overuse syndromes, more commonly knows as musculoskeletal disorder.

There are a few important criteria that should be considered while selecting adjustable stools. The first and the foremost aspect is the placement of the foot rail. A person with an average height should be able to place his/her legs on the foot rail without stretching or bending the legs too much. In either case the stress caused could lead to injuries. Secondly, the variation in human height mandates that the height of the stool be adjustable. The height of the stool can thus be adapted and made proportional to the height of the table or work surface. It is also essential to check the 'height adjustment range' to ensure that it is in accordance with the use and the user.

A typical adjustable stool should incorporate the following features to deliver versatility and maximum benefits to its users:

• User friendly pneumatic height (up to 32”) adjustment mechanism
• Reinforced five leg nylon bases
• Cushioned seating surface
• Antimicrobial/antibacterial vinyl finish
• Anti-stain finish
• Adjustable foot ring
• Compliant to ANSI/BIFMA standards

However, buying even the best designed adjustable stool with ergonomic features would fail to curb cumulative damages if the person using it adopts an improper sitting posture. Minor adjustments to the person's sitting habits will potentially reduce injuries caused due to prolonged sitting. This however should not cloud the usefulness and versatility imparted by adjustable stools. The novel idea of maximizing a stool's usefulness in all kinds of situation and with different users triggers an exclaim “Just right!”
