Stooled out?

Have you had it with this mania for stools, ceramic and otherwise? They're kind of all over the place right now which makes me think that we might have had enough, but, as of yet, there seems to be no stopping them. In the last day or so I've fairly tripped over stools in faceted glossy white and metallic, a pewter glazed tree stump (roots n' all), and Asian influenced fretwork. And now there's these ones, totally hitting that ethnic craft vibe, with an intricate chasework pattern wrapped all over the surface in v. on-trend copper and a perennially safe nickel. Big plus with this design is the fact that the top flips off to reveal storage beneath. Whadya say, could you do with a couple hanging about? Punched metal stools, Graham & Green.

I like that there are glasses on top of them in that picture.

I don't know why, but the ceramic stools and the ones you pictured above have always seemed too small to be seats to me. Maybe it's because I'm tall and they're quite short; but they never seemed appropriate seats for anybody but a child to me.

I do really like the looks of them - those metalic ones especially - but I think I'd use them as a side table rather than a stool.
