Wooden stools for kitchen island

[amazonianwoman]

Please can anyone help me find some wooden bar stools like the ones in this blue Fired Earth free standing kitchen?

I can only find ones which are naff orange pine, or with legs which splay out too much, or cost £600 each. I need four, so that's out of my price range...

Thanks

Wow they're great. Have you tried in your local antique/thrift/ flea type places?

[Selks]

They look like vintage ones. Have you searched on ebay? I have an antique furniture shop near me that had several of these stools in recently, but I'm probably nowhere near you (near Halifax)

I think Ikea do something similar.

How about THESE Ercol ones.

[IAlwaysThought]

The Ercol stools come up for sale at the Ercol Factory shop from time to time. Her is one for £100

Thanks all

I like the Ercol ones but I'm worried they're a bit too spindly - we're all v tall and not that svelte!

I had a quick look on ebay but it's amazing what people class as "vintage" - lots more orange pine! I'll have another search.

I think I need to trawl around some antique places - quite a few around Manchester, and not too far from Halifax if they have what I'm looking for - don't suppose you have the name of the shop Selks?

It's this one near Sowerby Bridge. They make their own pine / oak stuff (and may be able to do you a decent reproduction) but also get antique stock in too. It's a smallish place so may not have stools in stock all the time - best to ring them.
If you are in the Calderdale area there are a couple of other places you could try - Picture House Antiques in Todmorden and Cottage Antiques.

Cox and Cox have some. I was going to get the weathered oak stools but have gone for some retro tractor stools instead.

[FuckyNell]

I can vouch for these

[Selks]

Ooh yes, these Cox and Cox ones are lovely, if you can stretch to £150 each.

[amazonianwoman]

Love the weathered ones from Cox and Cox but they are too high for our standard height island.

What do you think of these ebay school stools?

[amazonianwoman]

Slightly different and will need to check the height?

Will have a look at the John Lewis ones instore this week.

Thanks again!

[Selks]

Prefer the second to the first of those two, Amazon. Not bad though - could look good.

[Selks]

Sorry other way round - prefer the first to the second.

[IAlwaysThought]

I love the second batch of the school stools. They are really nice.

We shortened the legs on the cox and cox ones...

[spotty26]

And... If you google weathered oak stools some retailers do them for a lot cheaper than Cox and Cox. But on their 20% off days they work about the same. Cox and Cox's service is very good too. I ordered mine at 2pm on a Monday and they arrived at 10am Tuesday!

[amazonianwoman]

Thanks, good idea re shortening them! The ebay stools are too short anyway. Off to google as you suggested
