“Here I am writing this ode,
Not someone - a stool.
I suggest you hurry -
To build a monument..."
This simple piece of furniture is one of mankind's first inventions, invented 5,000 years ago. Did you know that in ancient times a stool was used as a throne? And at the French court, special guests were given “stool rights,” that is, they had the opportunity to sit down when all the other subjects of the king stood.
Evolution affected the stool in a unique way: first a block of wood, then wooden structures with legs-hooves made of elephant tusks, camp “chairs” and, finally, a “miracle” of designer imagination - a round seat on plywood legs. You will almost never see such models at IKEA - its assortment is more refined and rich, and is definitely useful in the household.
Stephen
The Stefan chair is considered the simplest and most universal model. It is made from solid pine, spruce and birch. The surface of the product is coated with thick furniture varnish in black or brown. Its price is 1700 rubles.
What is the multifunctionality of an IKEA stool?
MARIUS
The IKEA MARIUS stool is a clear confirmation of this. It seems to have the simplest shape - round, but its shiny steel legs and rich-colored propylene seat will decorate any kitchen. The “airiness” of the structure is added by holes drilled around the circumference of the seat.
The good news is that even a person who is economical in all respects can afford the MARIUS model.
The stools are designed in such a way that they are easily stacked and stored in a corner or closet.
ROSKOG
Its “relative” ROSKOG has shaped curved legs and a footrest, which makes the sitting process comfortable. The designers rightly assumed that ROSKOG for a creative kitchen has no right to be faded and nondescript, which is why its colors are white, denim, and azure gray.
FROSTA
But the elegant FROSTA from IKEA is just the thing for creative people. It is made of birch veneer and coated with transparent varnish, that is, it looks like an ordinary wooden stool. But craftsmen “transform” its seat into a cute face of an animal, or a girl/boy, or paint it in different shades with intricate patterns.
A colorful round pillow or a hand-knitted stool will turn a banal object into a handmade stool.
IKEA fireplace woodpile made from a stool? Yes, this is possible if you stack several pieces on top of each other with their legs up. And by fastening them together and placing them with their legs down, you get decorative shelves: on one there is a lamp, on the other there is a Yellow Pages catalog and a telephone.
BEKVEM
So, make way for the Stool! Let this work of carpentry surprise you with its versatility and serve as... a staircase. Don't believe that a stepladder and an IKEA stool are the same thing? Then take a look at the company catalog on the page where BEKVEM is listed. This design has been popular among business people for several years, who pay great attention to details.
BEKVEM is 3 in 1: a chair, a table, and a stepladder.
Of course, it is far from a full-fledged folding ladder, but how convenient it is: it has a step, and a recess for easy carrying, and it can fit at a table to put a cup.
However, why talk so much about the advantages of IKEA products when it is better to see everything with your own eyes. We guarantee that you will choose something for your home or garden - good luck!
Coutsby
Coutsby is made in dark and light colors. The structure is made of solid pine. The surface is covered with veneer. This coating protects the chair frame from mechanical stress. The cost of the model varies from 2,000 rubles to 2,500 rubles.
Henriksdal
The Henriksdal model is considered the best option for a kitchen chair from IKEA. It can be used to decorate a living room, children's room and hallway. The design of the product combines a harmonious balance of comfort and aesthetic appearance.
Oak legs combined with a polyurethane seat make the product elegant. The manufacturer offers seven options for designing a seat made of natural material or artificial leather.
Odvar
The Odvar model is considered a compact option. The upholstery is made of soft polyurethane filler, the surface of which is covered with leatherette or thick fabric. The photo of Ikea chairs shows the best options for furniture paraphernalia.
Several recommendations for choosing
Dimensions. If the whole family of more than four people gathers around the table every day, then it is best to purchase a large table. Accordingly, there should be enough stools for everyone, which is very problematic for kitchens that do not have a very large dining area. In this case, the best option would be folding stools (or stacking chairs) from Ikea. They will save useful kitchen space with the same number of seats.
Wood veneer stool
Form. As a rule, chairs should come with a table - however, if you select items yourself, it may turn out that the shape of the chairs will not match the shape of the table. Therefore, it is advisable to take into account the design of the table and the overall interior of the kitchen.
Quantity. Since the seats at the table are distributed in increments of 0.5 m, it is advisable to select chairs in such a way that there are enough seats for all family members in a free seating position.
