Should I buy a perching stool to use in the kitchen?

I have osteoarthritis in my feet, knees, hips and back. I’m doing all I can re exercise and diet but am finding it increasingly difficult to stand for any length of time. My dd has suggested that I get a perching stool to use while cooking. It would be really helpful to hear Gransnetter’s experiences of using one before I shell out. Thanks.

Don't buy one - contact your county social services and they should be able to supply one through Occupational Health. That's how I got mine.

They're brilliant. My mum-in-law had one and I'm buying one for OH soon. But shop around as they vary in price!!
