A transfer stool for use with and carrying by a wheelchair is disclosed. The transfer stool includes a relatively narrow seat, a plurality of legs foldably secured to the seat for movement to and from a collapsed condition and an extended condition, wheels rotatably mounted to the legs, and a mounting structure for carrying of the transfer stool by the wheelchair in a collapsed condition, preferably in the same location as the conventional armrest structure of the wheelchair. In order to deploy the stool, the user slides the collapsed transfer stool forwardly from its stored position along the side of the chair, rotates the stool to a horizontal position, and extends the legs of the stool.
