Liova Striped Kids Stool - Beige

This is a small kids stool in painted MDF, finished in a soft beige with a striped lower shelf that gives it its character. It is 39cm long, 28cm wide and 30cm tall, which puts the seat at a child's height and keeps the whole piece compact enough to tuck against a wall. The side panels widen towards the floor and each is cut with an arch at the base, so the stool stands on four feet rather than flat slabs. The top is plain and smooth; the stripes sit on the shelf underneath, where they catch the eye from across the room.

In a children's room it works as a seat in its own right: somewhere to sit while pulling on shoes, looking through a picture book or playing at a low table. The shelf underneath is a handy spot for a few books, a basket of small toys or a folded blanket, keeping them off the floor and within easy reach of small hands. It suits a playroom or the corner of a nursery just as well, and in a hallway it gives children their own place to sit by the door. Because the beige is quiet, the stool sits happily beside wooden furniture and pale walls without competing with them.

The stool is made from MDF with a painted finish. MDF is a dense, even board with no grain to show through, which is why it takes paint so smoothly and why the stripes keep such clean edges. The ends of the shelf pass through the side panels and show on the outside as short pegs. It weighs 4.1KG, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. To style it, set it against a wall with a couple of favourite books on the shelf, or pair it with a low table so it has a job to do every day.
