Turning a string game into an adjustable stool is properly clever — it has that “oh, of course” inevitability instead of design-student theatre. My one nag is the boring real-life bit: cord stretches, frays, and gets manky fast, and a seat takes way more abuse than a toy. If they’ve picked something hard-wearing (or made the cord dead easy to replace), it’ll age nicely; if not, it’ll go sad and saggy in six months.
