I found a couple of old stools someone was giving away on CL today. No padding, pink (Bright Pink, no less), top was loose and the legs wobbly.
They were PERFECT!!! LOL. Wood glue, an old foam cushion and piece of upholstery fabric and I have a new stool to sit on for cutting. The one I 'fixed up' is still pink and the legs were a bit long...cut off 2 inches and at daaaaa.
