HELLO 8M STOOL :)

Picked up at the factory
I actually wanted the Wineberry colour but it doesn't available in ripple finish, because I wanted to cover some of the scratches, Cheery Red ripple is the only colour available in red that have the texture I wanted so I had no choice. But it came out kind of good still :)

Applied felt pads to protect the stool and the floor, it might be also prevent from slipping

Ideas of using the stool as part of keeping things

Small bag

Student - bag and books

Magazines and newspapers

The product name is 8M, 8 has the same pronunciation as letter A, AM means morning, the time that most people have coffee before going to work, or prepare for a day.
The stool has a shape as number 8, so the name 8M was born, it can also mean 8 in the morning.
