Best Answer

I think you've just illustrated one of the beauties and perils of English. There are multiple ways to phrase nearly anything. Aside from some subtle punctuation issues relating to the conjunctions and disjunctions, there's nothing egregious about any of your alternatives.

I'd probably offer this alternative:

"A stool is a seat having four legs, but nothing to support your back."
