The stool is quite rigid, in spite of its articulations. I weigh around 100 kg and the Deepeeka replica stood well until one of its faulty weldings ripped open. No need to say that that piece was forged in one on the original stool. It isn't flimsy at all, on the contrary, it is very cleverly designed!<br>
Hinges?<br>

They are very clear on the drawing. I've painted tiney red dots on their axis ant the blue arrows indicate the direction in whick they are folded. That kind of hinge was recularly used by Romans on doors and furniture.<br>
In my opinion, the split upper bar should be associated with hinges on the other bars, otherwise, it would have been only a useless and debilitating feature for the stool!<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
