I'd much rather be beligerent enough to carry the bedside table around the house with me, claiming it were my walking stick, then use one. But hey, I have used one - when my piriformis / hamstring has flared it the past. Now that I am back in the gym, doing strengthening and mobility for the muscle groups around it (and have an ergonomic seat, and a much more ergonomic car, I've not had a single relapse!)
But that bedside table, it WAITS for me to misuse it as a walking stick. Its sturdy too, as a chair, has my underwear, so when I shit myself, I can change that quickly too.
Can't believe my mother was gonna dump these bedside tables.
