A few questions:

Who has ever managed to tear a zip-tie apart? To my knowledge the British Army uses them to connect wings to fighter-planes…

Which bit of this stool carries the weight here? The zip, the ply or the bum?

A darker, sleeker) version I agree could be nice, but how would the seat be connected to the legs in a refined, sophisticated and mature fashion? With a screw? Not quite in the logic of the stool and the angle (of the legs) would make the head of the screws not finish flush with the seat surface… With a up-market cord? Not strong enough. Blue tack? Funny but won’t last…

Anyway, you’ll find a similar version one day in a IKEA near you, called something like ‘Michel’ for much cheapa’ and with much nicer colours…
