Know before you buy
Danish cord is a durable, three-ply paper material that is tightly woven to create a firm yet slightly flexible seat. It provides a supportive feel that contours slightly to your weight, making it comfortable for resting your feet or occasional extra seating.
Keep the wood base clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. For the Danish cord, use a vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust; avoid using liquid cleaners or water, as moisture can damage the paper fibers.
While it is designed primarily as a footstool, its sturdy solid oak base and flat woven top make it stable enough to hold a tray, a stack of books, or a small decorative object.
Natural Danish cord may darken slightly as it ages, especially if exposed to direct sunlight. This is a normal characteristic of the natural material and contributes to the piece's unique, lived-in aesthetic.
Yes, the footstool arrives fully assembled and ready for use. Because it is handcrafted in a small workshop, you can expect a finished piece that is sturdy and built to last.
