allanb Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm looking for a stool with spring-loaded wheels, which rolls around easily when not loaded, but which settles down firmly when you stand on it. Does anyone know where I can buy one?I know at least two supermarkets where they have these for the use of employees. But they don't sell them and they couldn't tell me where to find one.

Judith Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 They might also be called "kick-step". Certainly that.s what they were called when I used them in my library..... halfway between steps and a stool - most useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 For a momment I thought we were talking about one of the vehicles in the Tour de France Caravan. It looked just like a stool with wheels, but someone told me afterwards it was supposed to be a hot-dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanb Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I now know that the French name is tabouret roulant, and they're widely available but evidently about 50% more expensive in France than in the UK – a common experience, apparently.
