Magda Stool$95.00

The RAD Magda Stool is a simple, intentional seating option inspired by Magda Gerber, founder of RIE. Designed for toddlers and preschoolers, this backless wooden stool supports freedom of movement while providing a stable, comfortable place to sit for meals, work, and play.

Handmade in our shop with RAD’s signature attention to detail and quality of materials, the Magda Stool pairs seamlessly with RAD Toddler Height Tables and RAD Preschool Height Tables. Its backless design allows children to move easily on and off the stool, supporting independence, body awareness, and natural posture. Beyond table use, many children also incorporate the stool into open ended play.

🪑 Choosing the Right Stool Height

The Magda Stool is available in two heights. The most reliable way to choose the correct size is to measure from the back of your child’s knee to the floor. That measurement should be close to the seat height you select. There is some flexibility, and since children grow quickly, it is often helpful to choose a size they can grow into.

• Generally suited for children around 12 months and up, depending on development

11 inch Preschool Height
• Generally suited for preschool age children

What age is the Magda Stool for?

The Magda Stool comes in two sizes — the 6.5" Toddler Height and the 11" Preschool Height. These stools are generally suited for children 12 months to about 5 years, depending on each child’s individual height and stage of development.

The most reliable way to choose the right size is to measure from the back of your child's knee to the floor. Ideally, that measurement should be close to the seat height you select. There is some flexibility, and since children grow quickly, it is often better to choose a size they can grow into.

What Tables does it work with?

The 6.5" Toddler Height Magda Stool works with our 13" Toddler Height Tables.

The 11" Preschool Height Magda Stool works with our 19" Preschool Height Tables.

What is the weight limit?

Sturdy construction supports up to 200 lbs

Do these stools require assembly?

No, our Magda Stools come fully assembled and ready to use.

When can I expect my order to arrive?

Shipping estimates are available on each product page. These indicate when the item will be shipped from our woodshop in Los Angeles. Domestic orders are shipped via UPS Ground, and transit may take up to 5-7 business days depending on your location. Please note that our team does not operate on weekends and federal holidays. Orders placed on these days will be shipped on the next business day.

Is assembly easy? Tools? How do I assemble?

Our furniture requires minimal assembly, needing only an Allen key, which we provide along with online instructions. If your order includes over 20 screws, we'll also include hex drill bits to make assembly quicker. An electric drill could be useful but isn't necessary. You can find all our assembly instructions here.

How should I clean for my RAD furniture?

To clean your furniture, use a non-toxic mixture of vinegar and warm water. Spray the surface and immediately wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Never soak or immerse wooden furniture in water as it can cause the wood to swell and deform.

Can I use my furniture outside?

You can use your furniture outdoors but don't leave it outside for longer than necessary, as it's not designed to withstand extended exposure to outdoor elements. After use, wipe down the surface with a dry cloth. Leaving your furniture outside may void your warranty.

What is your policy on returns and exchanges?

We accept returns within 30 days of delivery for unused products in their original packaging. If you receive a damaged or defective item, contact our support team within 7 days of delivery for an exchange or replacement. Please note, customized or assembled items are non-returnable.

Perfect size

Using the Magda preschool sized stool for myself at snack time with toddlers has worked out perfectly. I am at a great height to support everyone, I don’t have to sit down so low as my body is aging, and it feels very sturdy.

Magda stool

I ordered 2 stools for our church nursery hoping they would be a good option for the adult volunteers to use also. They are are solid and I was pleasantly surprised with how great they looked! Might be ordering 2 more as we grow!!

Thanks so much for the kind words! We're glad to hear the stools are working well in your church nursery—and yes, they’re absolutely sturdy enough for adults. We even use them at home as step stools ourselves. :)

We truly appreciate working with your church and look forward to sending more your way as you grow!

We love our Magda Stool! She uses it to play like a lily pad and at the entry as her stool to sit as we get ready for walks.

Bought this with the toddler table. My son uses it everyday.

Hailey (San Antonio, US)
Toddler 6.5"
Very sturdy and helps with my child’s independence

The height and weight are perfect for little ones learning to get into a chair by themselves. My son has cerebral palsy, so he’s still working on motor skills. I love that the stool helps to strengthen his core while preparing him to get onto it independently, something he cannot do with a regular infant chair because he has to be walking due to the back of the chair.

L
Lindsey

The stools are sturdy and my one year old took to sitting on them immediately. They have also been used by older kids in pretend play and as small step stools. Great design, looks good in my home, easy to clean and store! Highly recommend!

Perfect for my toddler. She uses it daily to sit and have snack or play. It’s small and light enough for to drag where she wants it so she’s more independent and in control of how and where she sits. It’s stable enough for her to stand on without tipping. She uses this with the round toddler table by the same company. Great combo.

Toddler Stool

Great stool for my toddler. Without a back it's easy for her to get on and off of it without having to scoot a chair under the table. She is able to be more independent with this stool which fills her with pride and a sense of accomplishment. The shop owner, Radomir, was helpful with any questions I had before purchase and the stool ended up shipping faster than expected. Overall a great experience.

I love this stool. It is nice because it is very sturdy and does not tip like a traditional chair. My toddler sits on it for meals at the table.

Great 1st birthday present

This is a big hit in our house. It was a present for my 1 year old, but my 3 year old uses it just as much - mostly to gain access to things in the house (light switches, snacks, etc.) It works perfectly at a children's table that we cut down for 6" chairs, but if we had a normal height table for kids, it would probably be too short.
