I do lots of location shooting and instead of looking for a stool when I arrive, I now carry this super lite box with me.

I love these boxes

I have used one of these since the day they came out! Its quite beat up now, so as wrap gifts for my AC's i bought them all new boxes. As a Camra Op and a Cinematographer we sit on apple boxes all day long to get the propper angles or to rest the camera on while in hand held mode. So why not sit on a box with a little squish to it, and a little easier on your bum. Hence the name, we call it the "SQUISHY APPLE". Just by one you wont regret it. They have a new design since the original, it is more inline with a real apple box. Also note the side with the andle is for standing, and the side with out the handle is for sitting. More stablity when standing and more comfort while sitting.

The Foam Box (9 x 12 x 18") has a weight capacity of 2,000 pounds, but for safety reasons, it is not made for standing on due to a lack of stability.
