Vintage Elm Stool - Reclaimed Elm

Vintage Elm Stool - Reclaimed Elm | Online8 New Zealand

Roughly 80 years in the making — this small reclaimed elm stool carries decades of real history in its grain, colour shifts and old marks. A compact 300mm-square piece standing 500mm high in a natural finish, it works as accent seating, a side table, a bathroom stool or a plant stand. Because the elm is genuinely salvaged, natural variation is expected, so each stool is genuinely different from the next.

Why It Stands Apart

• Reclaimed Timber (~80 years old): Salvaged elm with a previous life, bringing grain and character marks new wood cannot reproduce.
• Natural Finish: Left untinted so the elm's own colour variation and heavy grain read clearly.
• Genuinely Versatile at 500mm: An occasional seat, a side table, a bathroom stool or a plant stand as the room requires.
• Compact 300mm Footprint: Small enough to slot beside a bath, at the end of a bed or into a corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old is the timber?
Around 80 years old. The elm is genuinely reclaimed, so natural variation in grain, colour and old marks is expected — and it is what makes each stool unique.

Will it work as a counter or bar stool?
No. At 500mm it sits close to dining chair height, well below a kitchen bench. It is designed as an accent and occasional stool rather than counter seating.

Will it look exactly like the photographs?
No, and that is the nature of reclaimed timber. Grain, colour and old nail marks differ from one stool to the next.

How should it be cared for?
Dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe spills promptly. If you use it as a side table, put coasters down, as a natural finish will mark.
