Lovely antique stool , solid and comfy. It has age related wear and tear, it also has a small natural crack on the edge of the seat . This is just a natural crack which won’t get any bigger and to be quite honest I quite like it. It stands at approximately 17 inches high and has a seat diameter of 13 inches. I am a big lad weighing 17.5 stone and it comfortably takes my weight, so I suppose you can say it has been tested. Please study the photos for a better description.
