Condition: in vintage condition with signs of previous use, this one has had it’s legs painted black at some point and it’s top sanded down, wear and scratches, these stools are initially made without the use of glue or nails and rely on good joints only, usually over the years the joints wear a little – this one has had some glue added at some point to the leg joints but there is still some wiggle – this may mean it will need a little glue again in the future especially if used heavily – it will be fine for static use as is as a plant stand etc, some glue remnants can be seen to the underside around the joints, the top is made from two pieces of wood joined together and the join is showing likely from use as a plant stand and getting wet – there are water stains to the seat, has some scrapes and scars, considering the leg wiggle still strong and stable for static use, a fair example of these popular country cottage style stools ready for work, please see all pictures
