An elegant and useful design constitutes the stool which also acts as a rocking chair, an exercising accessory and a book shelf!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/us_030913_08_940x705_xkbz5.jpg\" style=\"cursor: default\"><\/p>\n<p>The stool encourages what the creators call as \\&#8217;active sitting\\&#8217;. Since it engages the occupant with its gentle rocking motion, it also ensures that the abdominal muscles and feet are gently exercised. By resulting in constant postures changes during the rocking, the U stool also ensures that the mechanical load on the back, hips and rest of the body is constantly shifted. Thus, there is minimal strain on the body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/us_030913_03_flvo7.jpg\" style=\"cursor: default\"><\/p>\n<p>The actual seat is made from stretched cords which are a very flexible option. There is no need of any added cushion. The stool is light and easy to move around. The steep curve of the \\&#8217;U\\&#8217; ensures that the books in the shelf below do not keep moving while rocking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/us_030913_10_940x628_dwy9i.jpg\" style=\"cursor: default\"><\/p>\n<p>Adding to its various advantages is the fact that the stool uses much lesser energy in its manufacturing too.
