These short stools have been a staple in cafés throughout Paris for years. Besides providing a place to sit, they are great for women to place their purses, hold computer bags, or keep shopping bags off the ground. The stools take up very little sidewalk space and, when not in use, can easily be tucked away under the table. They also occupy less space than a chair, allowing more people to sit around a table. Each stool is constructed in the same solid manner as our bar and counter stools and provides the same comfort. All of our rattan furniture is intended for restaurant use. They are crafted to the same standards as those found in the streets of Paris, France, matching those makers' quality, workmanship, and materials.
