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

This product is awesome. You have to give it a try a few times, but once you figure it out you will be amazed. This one can be used either for 7 inch or 9 inch height so it is a perfect choice. You will not be disappointed.

Nice quality and sturdy.

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.

Too tall

I read about this product through an article in Consumers Report Health Letter. All I can say is the difference this little stool makes is astounding. I have MS which complicates an issue I have lived with most of my life. This little stool is just what I needed to help in the treatment of my discomfort. It works as advertised and is Doctor Approved. I cannot say much more than that. Few products live up to their hype. This one more than lives up to its hype. You need one if you have constipation issues ever. I am confident it will help you as it has me.

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 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.

My toilet seat at home is extra tall by choice of the former occupants. This makes it much more comfortable to use. Love the bamboo style and how easily it tucks out of the way.

Because this item is wood, it could use better packaging. Mine arrived in a bag and unfortunately there was a crack in one piece and several of the corners were chipped. I knew it wasnt gone to bode well when a piece of broken wood fell out of the box as soon as I opened it. Luckily, customer service was great and handled the issue. But definitely open and inspect as soon as you receive! Since it was damaged I unfortunately did not get to use the item, but it seems like it would be well made and serve the purpose intended if intact.

I’ve been saving this on my go buy list & finally got it. It was easy to put together. It’s nice & sturdy, feels great. I have no issues doing #2. I like the two height adjustments by positioning the stool differently. I would recommend it.
