Irish Country Stool

Irish Country Stool

You won't be at a loss for ways to use this sturdy, handsome stool. We've tried them successfully as a footrest, an end table, a pedestal for a decoy, and a most inviting place to sit next to the fireplace. Made of plantation-grown acacia wood, antique-stained deep brown. Stool: 17"H x 16"W x 12"D.

Functional, attractive, versatile, December 31, 2009
By: mbas

"My husband and I live in a small condo, and we don't have room for a dining room table and chairs. We are able to store our table so that we can entertain. But, we don't have the living space or storage space for chairs for the table. I had the idea that we could purchase small benches to use as the chairs and that these could double as benches and small tables around the condo when we don't need to entertain. We use the benches in our bathroom and as stools for putting on shoes. The Irish Country Stool was a perfect purchase for this reason (and the only thing that I found of its kind).

The stools are well-made and attractive. There is a slight quality control issue among stools that I could see in how the varnish is applied. Three of the four I bought were great, one was not so great (but the varnish issue, due to sloppy application, is underneath and not noticeable). So, I kept all four."

Perfect Fit, November 19, 2009
By: saguaro from Mesa AZ

"After purchasing a small settee, I needed a table/stool to accompany it. The Irish Country Stool was a perfect choice. It looks homey, is very sturdy and is used not only as a side table/foot stool but also as an extra seat."

Just perfect., March 24, 2009
By: ShirleyA

"It is placed in the small entryway by my back door to the garage. It looks like it has always belonged. Now I have a nice spot to put on my shoes, or to set things upon when needed.

The first one I received was damaged during shipment. Orvis promptly exchanged it, and the replacement arrived beautifully."

Exaxtly what I was looking for!, November 1, 2008
By: AKBear

"This Irish Country Stool is a perfect side table for my Ekornes leather recliner, for it's just the right height and rustic look that I've been looking for. The stool is a very quality product, which I first noticed on how it was packed/shipped. I purchased the stool as a resting place for my coffee and current novel, but it's also perfect for my laptop as well."

Sturdy Stool, October 10, 2007

Perfect!, October 4, 2007
By: Skygirl from Minnesota

"This stool is absolutely perfect! My husband and I are completely pleased with it. Not only does it work in a "rustic" setting, it also adds warmth to a more traditional home. I highly recommend this stool for anyone that wants a darling little "extra" in any room of the house. Enjoy!"

"Ordered one of these last December for our rustic family room. We really enjoy the look and functionality. SO another is being ordered today.
We've been looking for just such a little stool for a long time - so glad we finally found this one - or two!!"

"I recently ordered one of your Irish country stools. I LOVE it! And hopefully will order another soon. Ours is a log home and I have found that I can use this stool as a footrest if I so choose and simply by swivelling my chair around slightly the stool becomes a handy side table. The finish is gorgeous and goes beautifully with the rest of our rustic furnishings. I tried it in a bedroom in front of an antique dresser w/mirror. Goes perfectly there, as well. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR MAKING IT AVAILABLE! I've not seen anything like it anywhere else. "
