I've inherited a little stool, with flip down steps so you can use it as a mini step ladder.
The seat is a bit too weak to take my weight so I wanted to replace the seat and reupholster.
My question is this, what should I make the seat from?
The original is ½" thick, 300 x 300mm with the unsupported centre being 270mm.
I was going to use some 26mm MDF I've got knocking around, but after offering it up it looks way too thick - and this is before reupholstering. The total current thickness with material is 20mm.
I'd like it to last, but equally it's hardly a Chippendale so cost is a factor.
Cheers
