Congratulations!

 

Many thanks.

 

Turns out not having a back was an advantage. As you said, push it against a wall if you want to lean against somthing. TBH, it wasn't sat on that that much, but is was used almost all the way through (2am to 8am) to lean on, push against, act as a prop. It was used in ways none of us imagined. I guess in those situations, you just know what positions you need to get into, and a very heavy, very sturdy stool is just the job.

 

At the moment, its a handy footstool

In which case you can feel smug in the knowledge that your home made one was far superior to a modern bought one. Surely that must earn you extra bonus points?!
