That's where I got my two. Some of the guys were complaining about the quality of the refurb finish. Mine came out fine though. :)

Tempted to buy more. There's something really lovely about them.

I caved in and ended up buying a blue one and it's ace. I doubt it's brand new but it's a very good refurb.

This is why I went with purple fabric on my stools, to match the cabinet artwork nicely. :awe:

Wow that came out really nice!

I came so close to buying velvet stools, but in the end I went with the faux leather (should arrive soon too).

Thanks to this awesome thread I also refurbed two stools. I can't use them because the cat loves the new textile and hardly ever moves, but it's nice to have the job done. :lolno:

I used stellar stainless steel cleaner, get it from a cook /kitchen dept. I got this from the home ware dept of tkmaxx it's for polishing up kitchen pans etc and it's bloody brilliant stuff.

If I ask really nice and do some caressing he lets me sit on the lower stool (the one without 3 pounds of cats hair on it). Works for me. :)

Looks like I paid £2 from the price sticker, but dunno if it's something they have in stock on a regular basis.
