There are furniture items that are not only comfortable and are the important utility, but also have been designed to allow the maximum use of space available.
We are talking about furniture designs that can easily be stowed away or kept in a corner to save space and made available whenever required.
This is true for sofa bed designs but if you really like saving floor space, folding stools are just the furniture item that you need.
They can be folded to be kept behind and armoire or can slid underneath a bed to save more space.
There are many types of folding stools and the one kind that is immensely popular is the one with steps on one of the sides.
These stools are high and with the steps can be used as a small ladder.
This is not just a utility but also while watching a game or a movie, more than one person can sit on the stool, one on the seat and if the steps are convenient enough, the other on one of the steps.
This stool is also conveniently used as a high bar stool and one can comfortably sit in it and rest their legs on any of the steps based the person's height.
Folding stools are generally made of hard plastic materials and a lot of the time made of iron and steel.
Special care is taken in designing them because the repetitive folding of these stools can cause the joints to get weakened and so they are made out of strong materials and hinges that last for years.
These folding stools have also been designed to be moisture resistant so that despite extreme cold or heat, their joints do not get rusty or locked.
Also, they have been created in materials that are easy to maintain.
They can be cleaned easily and the colors are weather resistant too.
This is why they not only last long but also the looks are retained and with regular maintenance, the folding stools are a necessity that will stay useful for years to come.
