Threshold is a folding stool with a solid wood X-frame and a tufted, cotton-filled seat cushion. It opens for sitting down to put on shoes and folds flat to store behind a door. The cushion comes in four colours on the same natural wood frame.

Fakamatalaga puupuu

Every hallway sees the same small indignity: the one-legged hop by the door, a hand flat on the wall, trying to get a heel into a shoe.

A stool solves it, but most halls have no room to keep one standing there. This one closes and gets out of the way afterwards.

Tauhiga

Brush the cushion, spot clean marks and keep the wood out of standing water.

What keeps it open

Each pair of legs turns on a single flat metal screwOne turned crossbar sets the width it opens to

The reason for the tufting

The cushion

Loose cotton in a plain sewn bag slumps to the edges within a month and leaves you sitting on the rails. Two shallow tufts pull the cover through the fill and hold it in place, and that is the difference between a pad that lasts and a cover with something loose inside.

It is deep for a stool of this size, so you sit on it and not against it, and the cover is drawn down over the ends of the top rails, so the wood never touches the back of your leg.

Which is the whole case for it

Closed, it almost disappears

When it is closed the legs lie parallel and the whole stool is about as thick as a stack of books: thin enough to stand behind a door, slide in next to a wardrobe or lie flat under a bed between uses.

That is what makes it practical in a narrow hall. A stool you have to walk round is a stool that ends up in another room.

Seldom only in the hall

Other places it ends up

It comes to just below most sofa seats, so it works as a footrest when pulled up. At the end of a bed it takes the clothes that never quite reach the wardrobe. In a bathroom it holds a folded towel within reach of the bath.

It is a seat first and a surface second, though. Stand a full cup on the tufting and you will regret it.

My mother can use it

She is 79 and had stopped coming to us because of the boots. She can get down onto this and back up without a hand, which I did not expect from something that folds. That is the only review I have.

Wood is lighter in person

Mine came a touch paler and yellower than the pictures, closer to raw birch than to oak. It has warmed up a bit over a few months by the window. I would have picked the same again, just be ready for pale.

Solid after one quick fix

Mine had a slight wobble on day three. One turn with a flathead on each side and it has been silent since. Not a fault, just what wood does as it settles in.

How much weight does it take?

It has no certified load rating, so we do not print one. Treat it as a seat for one adult sitting normally, not as a step stool or a perch for two children.

Ko he ā te mea na faia ai te ufi?

A soft woven fabric with a texture like linen. We quote no fibre percentage because we cannot verify one, and we prefer to say nothing than to call it linen and be wrong.

Can the cushion be removed?

It is fixed to the top rails and has no zip, so it is not made to come off for washing. Treat marks where they occur and do not plan on a machine cycle.

Does it need assembly?

It arrives closed in a flat box, ready to open, with no bolts to find and no diagram to follow.

What wood is it?

Solid wood, pale and close-grained, with a clear matte finish. The species has not been specified to us, so we do not name one. Expect natural variation in tone from piece to piece.
