Not all Tolix’s are Created Equal

Posted on March 26, 2013 by Stools and Chairs

We have recently sold out of our Silver and White Replica Xavier Pauchard Tolix Chairs. While this was definitely overwhelming for a company that is still very young, our team had anticipated the demand (although not this quickly!). When we first brought in the Tolix line, we visited as many shops we could. Researched every single possible online store that delivers. The result? We came up with the highest quality furniture including the Tolix Chair, at the lowest price possible, beating all other competitors, with a great chair under $69. A few other online furniture companies came close, but on further inspection we realised how they got their prices lower.

Have a look at a comparison photo, out of courtesy to our competitors, I won’t be revealing who it is, but no prizes for guessing the quality that is synonymous with Stools & Chairs.

Black on Black is the new Black

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Stools and Chairs

Has anyone noticed that the colour Black is making a strong return? While strong contrast colours and standout feature pieces are still very popular, we here at Stools & Chairs are seeing a strong comeback with the colour black. We’re not sure if it’s the upcoming Winter, or a resurgence of minimalist luxury themes in interior design. But we sure love the look of Black on Black as seen in our Replica Hans Wegner Matte Black Wishbone Chair. Only $169, that’s the cheapest we’ve seen in Australia!

Why our bedsides rock!

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Stools and Chairs

So a few days ago we released our new Bedside Tables. You can see the post here. We are extremely proud of our product as we believe it is the best quality and best priced bedsides in the market.. Lets take another look at our Union Jack Bedside. Not the detail in the scallop (bottom edging) of our bedside (left) against a leading online furniture retailer in Australia. Not to mention their price is over $200 more than ours.

Also our bedsides table come with a a solid oak table top which is superior to some other examples we’ve seen on the market. Our competitors example above also comes with a rougher unfinished top.

We here at Stools & Chairs really do believe that quality furniture need not come at an inflated price. We really stand by all our products and this is backed by our 365 day warranty on all our stools, chairs and tables. Browse today, click here!

Chairs maketh thy Restaurant

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Stools and Chairs

Who doesn’t love a beautifully decorated cafe or restaurant. A warm welcoming feeling as you walk in to a place that feels like home before you even tasted the food. The feature walls, the grand and intricate details of the tables, and of course the chairs and stools that we spend a couple hours in savouring our meals. I love seeing a well decorated restaurant, it makes me feel so much more relaxed when eating. Please don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of great hole in the wall’s and simple places that have great food, but I believe to have a great and comfortable dining experience, the decor is just as important.

Below are some of my favourite examples of beautiful stools and chairs in restaurants I’ve been to in the last few months.

Braza Restaurant, Darling Harbour, Sydney

The restaurant has continued their South American cuisine through the decor, with colourfully painted walls and dividing shutters. The tables matches their food with a rustic feel to it, and paired with the Provincial Crossback Chairs, look great!

Wat Da Pho, South Melbourne, Melbourne

A friend of mine sent me a message about this fun new Pho place in Melbourne that opened up a few months ago. You can just see the cheeky yellow and white tolix stools that are sticking out from underneath the tables.

Remember, you can find all the Stools and Chairs found in the restaurants a place in your home at our website here. Remember, we offer the lowest prices for online furniture in Australia guaranteed.

The Block showcases our products!

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Stools and Chairs

We here at Stools & Chairs love The Block. We tune every night to see how all the contestants are furnishing their newly renovated houses. Needless to say, there are some stools and chairs that prove so popular and blend seamlessly into any style of household that they pop up season after season.

The Xavier Pauchard Tolix stool is an item that has been used time and time again and we can see why! Our 65cm Silver Tolix stool is currently out of stock and will return in a few weeks. Until then you will be able to find the rest of our range here. See how Josh and Jenna used it in their kitchen.

The Bentwood Chair which I covered below is also used by Dan and Dani in their attic makeover. They’ve opted for the brightly coloured yellow option which looks great in a minimalist style attic with clean lines and colours. What do you think? What is your favourite colour?

Bentwoods. The Bad and the Good

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Stools and Chairs

The original Bentwood chair was designed by German-Austrian cabinet maker Michael Thonet (often mispronounced Tho-Nay, the name should be pronounced Tone-et). The Bentwood chair is an elegant and simple design which is made through revolutionary steam bending technology that Thonet mastered. The curved backrest and support is made by heating the timber to 100 degrees Celsius, pressing them into curved cast iron moulds, and then drying them at 70 degrees for a further 20 hours. This results in a very strong, but light piece of timber left for the chair.

Below are some photos of other “Bentwood” Chairs. The first one has been made in China. Some Chinese manufacturers have been manufacturing copies of the Bentwood chair by bending a thicker plywood instead of the traditional steam and mould method. This results in a quicker production time, but other elements of the chair are compromised. The thick nature of the timber takes away its elegant style, and a less than ideal O-ring support for the legs is used.

The image on the right is another example of a cheaply made replica. Even though the bentwood looks slightly more genuine, the leg support still shows the inferior O-ring used, and thicker legs.

Stools & Chairs’ replica of Thonet’s Bentwood Chair is guaranteed to be true to the original. It was been manufactured in Europe with all the same methods that was originally used and this is reflected in the finished product. Our Bentwoods are lightweight, elegant and strong. Get yours now for under $175 each, guaranteed to be the cheapest in Australia for the quality, with a 12 month warranty.
