Viking Support Stool with Arms – Standard and Maxi Adjustable Support Stool
The Viking Support Stool with Arms is a height- and angle-adjustable support or perching stool designed to provide a stable place to sit during everyday activities. The range is available in a Standard model and a wider, heavier-duty Maxi model, allowing the stool to be selected around the user’s seating width and required safe working load.
Both versions have a padded seat, padded backrest, supportive arms and a 55–70 cm adjustable seat height. The Standard stool is rated to 120 kg, while the Maxi increases the safe working load to 175 kg and provides a substantially wider seat and more space between the arms.

Useful for Perching, Kitchen Tasks and Everyday Support
The Viking is often the type of product people search for as a perching stool, kitchen support stool or high support chair. Its higher adjustable seat and adjustable seat angle can make it useful for activities where the user wants to remain more upright than they would in a conventional dining or lounge chair.
The padded backrest and arms provide more support than a simple utility stool, while the adjustable seat angle allows the sitting or perching position to be tailored to the activity and user.
Supportive Arms and Padded Seating
The armrests provide a defined place for the hands during sitting and standing, and the padded seat and backrest improve comfort for longer periods of use. The Maxi retains these features while increasing the clear seating width to 60 cm between the arms.
For someone who needs a more conventional rehabilitation or day chair for longer periods of sitting, the Viking Rehab Chair provides a larger, more traditional seated setup. For additional positioning adjustment and a higher back, see the Viking Hilite Rehab Chair.
