Beautiful and durable, this stool is made by hand from natural suar wood and uses a trapezoid based design. This piece is solid, sturdy and can last many years. Perfect for any home, and also usable as a side table. Suar wood always varies in tone, colour and pattern. Wood is a living material that expands and contracts, causing cracks and knots. We take steps during transport and in our warehouse to dry and coat suar wooden items, but it may still hold moisture deep within that can seep out over time.Treating the product with a protective oil yearly is recommended, this will also revive the colour.
