Wabi-sabi Jute Ottoman Footstool 45x45cm/18"x18" imported handmade

Choosing the right wood for your stool

Solid hardwood: Dense solid wood with a more rigid feel, dependable structure, and a grain that remains comparatively stable over time when kept in a suitable indoor environment.

Best use: Best for regular seating, hospitality settings, restaurants, cafés, and side tables that need a firmer, more stable feel. Confirm the listed load rating before commercial use.

How it feels over time: More rigid and consistent than softwood, while still showing natural grain and small variations from piece to piece.

Care: Keep indoors, wipe with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid prolonged moisture, direct heat, and harsh cleaners. Natural wood may shift subtly with seasonal humidity.

Important: These are handmade natural-wood pieces. Grain, colour, knots, edge shape, and small dimension differences are part of the character. For restaurant or commercial seating, use only where the supplier’s load rating and local safety requirements are confirmed.
