New Year Stools and Benches Add Style to Homes
Miniature wheeled stools and compact benches surge in 1955 home decor. They offer extra seating without crowding space and come in varying sizes, shapes, and prices from under 10 dollars to over 350 for leather benches. Many stools nest to form sofa-length seating and some have removable cushions. Benches range from single seats to two-seaters but lack backrests and sit lower, making them less comfortable for long use.
