The analysis identifies the footrest as a structural component rather than a comfort feature, noting that children load it as a step and use the backrest as a lever, applying force in directions the seat was never designed for. The report is explicit that no survey fieldwork was carried out and that no national dataset on stool failure exists, so it publishes no percentages. Instead it sets out the specification checks that decide longevity: welded frames, through fixed footrests, wide base plates, replaceable glides and wipeable seat surfaces. It also details the sizing rules that prevent most disappointment, including 25cm to 30cm of clearance under the worktop and 60cm to 70cm of run per stool."}
