The first connector 2 and the second connector 3 are rotatably connected. The free end of the first connector 2 is provided with a support part 21 and a hook 22 rotatably connected to the free end. The support leg 11 near the free end is provided with a positioning part 4 corresponding to the hook 22 and the support part 21. When the folding stool is unfolded for use, the support part 21 abuts against the positioning part 4 and the hook... Hook 22 secures the positioning piece 4, making the support assembly 1 a stable structure; the user can disengage the hook 22 from the positioning piece 4, and the support assembly 1 can be stored; the first connecting piece 2 is fixedly connected to the stool surface 5; the free end refers to the end of the first connecting piece 2 that is rotatably connected to the support leg 11 away from the first connecting piece 2. In this embodiment, the support part 21 abuts against the positioning piece 4, and the hook 22 secures the positioning piece 4, thereby forming a structurally stable support assembly 1, i.e., a structurally stable folding stool, ensuring the user's safety; after the hook 22 is disengaged from the positioning piece 4, the two support legs move closer together, thereby realizing the storage of the support assembly 1, i.e., the storage of the folding stool.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the support portion 21 has a recess 211, and when the folding stool is unfolded for use, the positioning member 4 falls into the recess 211.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the forward rotation limiting portion 221 or the reverse rotation limiting portion 222 is a first folded edge formed by bending, and the hook 22 is a one-piece structure; the blocking portion 23 limits the first folded edge, thereby limiting the rotation of the forward rotation limiting portion 221 or the reverse rotation limiting portion 222; the one-piece structure of the hook 22 ensures the overall firmness of the hook 22 and reduces the assembly operation.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the blocking portion 23 is a second folded edge formed by bending of the first connecting piece 2, and the first connecting piece 2 is a one-piece structure; the second folded edge limits the forward rotation limiting portion 221 or the reverse rotation limiting portion 222, thereby limiting the rotation of the forward rotation limiting portion 221 or the reverse rotation limiting portion 222; the one-piece structure of the first connecting piece 2 ensures the overall firmness of the first connecting piece 2 and reduces the assembly operation.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the first connecting piece 2 of each of the two support assemblies 1 is provided with a hook 22, and the two hooks 22 are connected by a first connecting rod 6; the first connecting rod 6 serves to link the two hooks 22.
