Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Cheapest way to buy nice stools?

I took Bill Deg's advice and went shopping tonight for (ahem) "stool samples". :) Alise and I went to Ikea. We checked out the $5 stools. They're surprisingly strong, but quite small. Then we looked at $15 ones. They're larger, but they were wobbly (and I made sure they weren't just loosely assembled). Finally we found a $22 one that's more of a chair than a stool -- it's stable, adjustable height, and comfortable, but apparently it's only available in blue and red. Also it's plastic -- it looks like a Lego. :) For that price we're better off getting the sturdier ones that I linked earlier (http://tinyurl.com/ja93zrf).
