OS Wooden Lab Stool

maman

I am looking for an old wooden lab stool to put in my kitchen. I know I can buy them new but I wondered if anyone knows of somewhere old school furniture is sold that I could try?

There are lots of e commerce stores that sell a range of wooden furniture and I am sure with a specific Google query you could have a few options.

Try http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=buy+school+furniture%2C+wooden&btnG=Search&meta=

Have you tried somewhere like http://www.woodetccorp.com/?

I want an old wooden lab stool for my kitchen. I know there are Educational suppliers where I can buy a new one but I would prefer a used one. Anyone know of a company that sells off old school furniture?

Thanks for that,Ormus, I'll save that site in case I can't get an old one. I'm wanting a 'distressed' look!

i dont know anyone who sells old school furniture per say. but i have seen desks and stools etc for sale at auctions and on ebay, every so often.

Try contacting local schools?

Ours sends out a letter now & again with chairs or desks etc for sale that are being replaced. They only ask for a nominal amount but prefer them to go somewhere useful than to just chuck them in a skip.

We got a couple of lab stools 2 years ago which we use in DH's workshop in the shed.

I'm sure that a lot of schools have stuff like that in storage and would be happy to let you have it for a small donation.

Worth a try?
