(17) The present disclosed mounted collapsible bench, also known as The Shoe Stool, offers a modern accessory that guarantees individuals are able to formally sit down while taking off or putting on their shoes in areas where limited space restricts the placement of a standard chair and/or bench. Meant to complement any narrow area in a domestic or commercial setting, the Shoe Stool introduces a novel mountable seat that lifts up and down manually as it offers a device where the back mounts to a wall and the front possesses a fold-up seat or bench design. To use, one would simply pull on the foldable extension leg to lower the seating area. The leg is also strategically designed with a semi-permanent height adjustment feature to ensure users are able to adjust the height accordingly during utilization and employs corresponding number markings for support to ensure comfortable seating. Once the shoes have been put on or taken off, users can simply fold the Shoe Stool bench back up, where a latch will hold the sectional piece, upright securely. This innovative, top-quality product ensures a fully operational fold-up seating device that is capable of seating up to four people and can easily be mounted onto the wall.
