Root stools offer natural live edges so that each stool features a unique shape and grain pattern. They look suburb when used as a sitting stool next to an entryway, as a plant stand, a footstool, as a balcony or porch decor, or as a small side table for books. These stools are natural in color and arrive fully assembled, and ready for use. Your family and friends will appreciate the uniqueness of the contrasting colors of red and brown streaks atop the natural wood grains, knots, and burls. Make a bold statement and show your thoughtfulness with this amazingly unique gift idea! Skilled artisans hand-pick and sand down each slab of wood preserving the natural shape, wood grain patterns, and color. Built sturdy with solid wood A-shaped legs offering a weight capacity of 150 pounds. Each piece of wood undergoes a multi-step process that includes recombination, polishing, painting, and waxing and is finished with a natural lacquer. Care: With an ultra-soft rag, simply dust the surface of the tabletop and legs avoiding vigorous scrubbing as is a softwood and can dent and scratch easily. It is also recommended that a sealer be applied occasionally to retain its color and stability. When proper care and weight capacities are followed, you can expect a lifetime of use.
