Drum Stool | Side Table

Drum Stool | Side Table | Online8 New Zealand

A barrel-form stool built from fir wood wrapped with rattan rope — roughly 60% timber to 40% rattan, which is what gives it both solidity and texture. The banded rope catches light around the curve of the drum, so it reads as a made object rather than a plain cylinder. At 445mm high it lands at a genuinely useful height: extra seating when people arrive, a nightstand, or a display plinth the rest of the time.

Why It Stands Apart

• Fir Wood and Rattan Rope: A timber core wrapped in banded rope — solid underneath, textured on the surface.
• Barrel Silhouette: A sculptural drum form with no corners to catch.
• Genuinely Multi-Purpose: Seat, side table, nightstand or plinth.
• Natural Tonal Variation: Timber and rattan weather and vary, so no two are quite identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it strong enough to sit on?
Yes. The fir wood core carries the load, with the rattan wrapped around it — it's built as a stool, not purely decorative.

Is 445mm a comfortable seat height?
It's a little lower than a dining chair, so it suits casual perching, a vanity, or use as a footstool rather than a long sit at a table.

Will the colour match the photograph?
Approximately. Fir and rattan are natural materials with their own tonal variation, so expect small differences between pieces.

How do I care for it?
Dust with a soft dry brush, which gets between the rope bands better than a cloth. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight and don't soak it — both dry out natural rattan.

How is it shipped?
