{"product_id":"rattan-core-stool-44cm","title":"Rattan Core Stool - 44cm","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Rattan Core Stool is a round, open drum of upright rods with a woven circular seat on top. You can see straight through its sides, so it gives you somewhere to sit without the visual weight of a solid stool. One thing the name does not tell you: it is 60% rattan and 40% iron, not rattan alone. Rattan itself is a climbing palm with solid stems, unlike hollow bamboo, and it is strong for its weight and pliable enough to be bent and woven. The stool measures 46 to 47cm across, stands 44 to 45cm high and comes in Natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBring it out as a spare seat when guests arrive, then let it stand beside a sofa or at the end of a bed as a decorative accent the rest of the week. By the front door it makes a handy perch for pulling on boots. The open sides help a small sitting room or bedroom corner feel less crowded, and the round shape has no corners to catch a shin in a tight hallway. Measure the space you have in mind and work to the larger figures, 47cm across and 45cm high, so it slips in without being wedged. In Natural, it sits happily with white and cream walls, soft cushions, woven baskets and plenty of green plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach stool is handwoven. The upright rods are tied at intervals by woven bands and curve over at the rim into the round top, so the seat has a rounded edge rather than a sharp one. Small feet under the base lift the bottom ring just clear of the floor. It is made in the Philippines and arrives fully assembled, ready to use straight out of the box. We like it with a trailing plant alongside, which makes the corner look finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60% rattan, 40% iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound open-sided drum with a woven top, in Natural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandwoven, no assembly required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46 to 47cm across x 44 to 45cm high\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne stool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhilippines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it for sitting on, or just for decoration?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth.
