My daughter asked me to build a wooden stool. Once built she would have it signed by her class and then give it back to me to have a protective coating applied. After being finished the stool will be auctioned off. All proceeds go to the school.
The top of the stool will be around 10 inches wide and the complete stool height would be around 18 inches. The picture my daughter provided seems to show the legs being at 90 degrees from the seat. It seems to me that a stool with this construction would be pretty likely to tip over. So can someone provide what kind of angle the legs should be off vertical to improve the stability of the stool? And then what angles the stretches would need to be at also.
