My dad made mine, and everyone in the family found a use for it for 20 odd years. My mother sat on it in her huge vegetable garden to pick peas (as did I and my siblings). It was three-legged, a little bit tippy, and eventually the legs became so wobbly that I (shamefully) threw it out when I was about 40. I agree that there is not much better than a stool as a gift for a small child, and this stool is a wonderful design with the wheels!
