Our award-winning Bum Stool was designed to be the comfiest wooden stool you will ever sit on. With an ash seat and oak legs, this stool has become a design classic not only for its comfort but for its looks. The shape of the stool pan was formed by sitting on slabs of wet clay, creating a natural impression which gives proper support all around and helps to distribute your weight evenly.

Small scratches to the wood will settle in naturally over time, more extensive damage to the wood may require sanding and re-oiling. Please contact our customer service team for advice before attempting any repairs.

We offer one tracked service from DHL, all items are sent from our UK workshops. Orders will be dispatched only when all items are ready and they should arrive within 2-4 business days.

The unique shape of this seat is not something that was carefully designed to look a certain way; it's a shape that our bodies - more specifically, bums - formed naturally just by sitting on wet slabs of clay. Right from the start of this project, we knew that we wanted to create a stool that was all about comfort and so, for most of the design process, we did our best to avoid compromising this by imposing any stylistic or material restraints along the way. What we have ended up with is a surprisingly comfortable stool - probably the most comfortable wooden stool that we have ever sat on!

The Bum Stool supports a healthy sitting posture by giving proper support all around your bum and helping to distribute your weight evenly. It also remains a simple and visually stunning piece of furniture, machined from high quality ash and oak; the deep bowling of the seat pan is perfectly complemented by the natural figure of the timber. Our customers have fallen in love with the design and we were even awarded a prestigious Design Guild Mark award for the range!

I was one of the staff who would take a child through a workshop guiding them (one on one) through the building of one of these simple step stools. At the end of the weekend I had built a few extra for myself which I took home for my own kids -- hence the bright and colourful paint job on this one!

I have simplified the build process so you can build this with just three common power tools: a Drill, a Jigsaw, and a Miter saw. I think it is a very beginner-friendly project. It teaches several basic woodworking skills, and at the end you have a useful compact step stool.

There is a semi-circular cutout at the bottom of each leg. First draw a line down the center of the board. We will also need this later on to guide where to drill when assembling the project, so draw it the full height of the leg.

Then set a compass to 2", and draw a semi-circle centred at the bottom of each leg. I find it easier to mark out for the semi-circular cutout while the legs are still rectangles, which is why we do this step before going back to the miter saw to cut the angles on the legs.

Each leg is angled inward at about 7-degrees. Set the miter saw to 7 degrees and cut this angle onto each leg. There is no need to measure or mark lines, just position the leg so that the cut starts at the outside corner of the 1x8 leg piece and make the cut.

Clamp the leg to a bench and use a jigsaw to carefully cut out the semi-circle from the bottom of each leg. You may need to stop part-way to reposition the jigsaw (I did) if the clamp blocks the jigsaw from cutting the entire semi-circle at once.

The pieces are all cut out, so you are almost ready for assembly. First take some time to sand the pieces smooth. If you have a power sander, you can use it. However, pine is quite soft, so you can also hand-sand it very quickly using 150 grit sandpaper. How far you take this step depends on how you plan to finish the step stool. If you are going paint it, then 150 grit is plenty smooth.

Lay the centre support on the leg and use it to gauge where to make a few cross-marks on the centre line, so you know where you will drill two holes for screws. The two legs will each have two screws attaching it to the centre support.

To help with positioning the pieces together, I brought the previously marked centre line around to the other side of the legs, and then made a tick mark 3/8" on either side of the centre line. That adds up to 3/4", which matches the width of the centre support. This will help with positioning the centre support so it is nicely centred on the legs.

Apply a dab of glue to each end of the centre support, and then position it between the two legs. In the photo, I have it laying upside down the the top, just to give it a nice flat surface. I used a clamp to hold the pieces together so that they would not slip while inserting screws. It is not shown here, but I first drilled again with a drill bit to extend the pilot hole into the centre support. I had fairly long screws and I wanted to be sure that they would not split the centre support.

Next, flip everything over so it is upright, and position the top beside the legs and use that to mark the center of the legs onto the top. LIGHTLY draw this line across the top, to guide where you drill through the top, so you drill/screw directly into the center of the thickness of the legs. Draw lightly, so that you can easily remove the pencil mark later!

Add some glue along the top of the center support and the two legs and then carefully position the top and lightly clamp it into place. The clamp keeps the top from slipping while you drill and screw it down.

I measured in 1-3/4" from the edge for the location of each of the four screws. It is best to measure, so that it looks nice and consistent. Drill pilot holes with the countersink drillbit and then insert four screws.

The dimensions were given above, but don't be afraid to change them. Do you want a longer stepstool? Just lengthen the top and center support by a similar amount. Or, make the legs a LOT taller and wider (and increase the size of the top proportionally) and you will have a bench. Make it even bigger and give a larger overhang around the edges for the top, and you've got a coffee table.

If you watch the video of the build, at the end of the video there is a quick sequence where I take things up a notch, using more tools, and building it out of cherry, and plugging the screw holes with wood to make it look even nicer. This is just an example how a simple beginners project can also be made fancier.
