Spool is a compact drum of upholstery on four thin brass legs, wrapped in a chunky open basketweave so the seat reads as texture first and colour second.

Sized for a dressing table and built to carry real weight on legs that look far too slight for the job. Chalk or Ink.

Overview

A chair at a dressing table is almost always too big. It has a back you never lean on, arms that hit the drawers, and it stands there all day announcing itself.

This is the amount of furniture the job actually needs. It slides fully under the table and the room goes back to being a room.

Care

Vacuum the weave on a low setting. Blot spills, never rub them in.

What the number really tells you

The weight rating

That's the rated static capacity, and it's the reason we were willing to stock something this slight-looking — thin brass legs on a small seat usually mean a stool you sit on carefully.

Think of the rating as built-in confidence for normal sitting, rather than a guarantee against sitting down hard — a sudden drop puts many times your body weight through four small feet in an instant, so ease into it the way you would any stool this size.

Open, and that cuts both ways

The weave

The yarn is thick and loosely woven into a visible grid, which is why the surface has depth in low light instead of going flat like a smooth upholstery fabric would.

The trade is that an open weave has somewhere for things to go. Loose glitter, cat claws and anything sticky will all find the gaps. Chalk shows dust; Ink shows lint. Pick your problem.

A table that happens to be a seat

Its second job

The seat is flat and the height lands close to a mattress, so beside a bed it takes a book, a glass and a lamp cable without ever having been sold to you as a nightstand.

It is also the thing you carry to wherever someone needs an extra seat — light enough to move with one hand, and it does not look out of place when it stays.

It genuinely goes under

My last one stuck out by about ten centimetres and I caught my hip on it every single morning. This one disappears completely under the table. Small thing. Changed the room more than the stool cost.

Assembly is four screws

Legs came off, went on in about three minutes with the little key. Do them up properly and go round again after a fortnight. Mine loosened slightly and I only noticed because of a faint click.

Smaller than I pictured, correctly

The measurements are on the page so this is on me, but I still had a bigger thing in my head. It is a perch for one person, not somewhere two children will sit together. Read the numbers, they are accurate.

Frequently asked questions

Is it comfortable for long sittings?
It's comfortable enough for the fifteen minutes a dressing table asks for. For an hour at a desk, less so — there's no back, and the padding is closer to a cushion than a seat.
Are the legs solid brass?
They're metal with a brass finish rather than solid brass, and we'd rather say that plainly than let the photographs imply otherwise — warm and matte rather than mirror-bright.
Will it mark a wooden floor?
Each foot has a dark protective tip. Four small points still carry a lot of load, so lift it rather than drag it across boards.
What is the fabric made of?
A synthetic upholstery yarn. We do not have a verified fibre breakdown, so we describe what it does — chunky, matte, slightly slubby — rather than name something we cannot stand behind.
Can I stand on it to reach a shelf?
It's built as a seat, not a step — standing puts your whole weight onto one small area of a slim base, so grab a step stool for reaching shelves instead.
