About Accent Stools & Tree Stump Side Tables
Accent Stools
An accent stool is the most useful small piece in a room because it changes job without changing position: seat when people come over, side table the rest of the time, plant stand in a corner. Solid wood is what lets it take all three.
Tree Stump Stools
A tree stump stool is cut across the trunk, so the top shows the growth rings and the edge keeps the natural outline. Fine radial cracks running from the centre are the wood drying and settling, not a fault. They stabilise and do not spread.
Using a Wood Stool as a Side Table
As a side table, height is what matters: level with or slightly below the sofa arm, usually 45-55 cm. The top is small, so it holds a drink and a book rather than a lamp. The accent stool guide covers placing them.
Live Edge and Teak
Live edge means the natural outer profile of the trunk is left rather than squared off. Teak holds its own oil, so these need little upkeep indoors. Larger pieces from the same material are in live edge and teak root furniture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a wooden stool be used as a side table?
Yes, that is the common use. Aim for a height level with or just below the sofa arm, roughly 45-55 cm. The top is small, so it suits a drink, a book or a small plant rather than a lamp.
Why does my tree stump stool have cracks?
Fine cracks running out from the centre are normal in a solid cross-section as the wood dries and the rings shrink at different rates. They stabilise after the first year and do not affect strength.
Are these stools all the same size?
No. Each is cut from a single piece of teak or teak root, so height, diameter and outline vary. The product page gives approximate dimensions and a range rather than an exact figure.
How do you care for a teak stool?
Dust it and wipe spills. Teak carries its own oil and needs little else indoors. If the surface looks dry and pale after a few years, a thin coat of teak oil restores it.
Can these be used outdoors?
They are finished for indoor use. Teak survives outdoors but will grey and the surface will roughen. If you want one on a covered balcony, expect the colour to change.
