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. Specifications Materials 60% Fir Wood, 40% Rattan Dimensions 36.1 (W) x 36.1 (D) x 44.5 (H) cm For other rattan pieces, see the Drum Rattan Side Table with Glass Top and the Colonial X Stool. For other seat-and-surface crossovers, the Water Hyacinth Stool. 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?
