Even if you do weigh yourself once a day, does it really make sense for your scale to take up such a footprint in your bedroom or bathroom? The KOALA Digital Scale has been designed with an intelligent consideration for space, given that it's a small and often only occasionally used appliance that tends to get tripped on.
The designers of Plastic Irony decided to give it an upright posture so that it's wide and tall, but not long. Approach the weigh scale and pull it down gently with the tips of your toes, then step easily upon its smooth and ergonomic curved surface. When you step off, it will pivot upwards once more.
Read your mass on the KOALA Digital Scale; for increased privacy, have it displayed on your phone. You can even track your weight with the help of a smartphone app.
