  • 1.  Stools for Gallery Use

    Posted 02-19-2016 01:06 PM

    Hello everyone, 

    We are in the market for gallery stools. I've seen some museums have rolling cart systems where all the stools hang on a the cart for easy transportation to the galleries then storage. 

    Where should I be looking for gallery friendly stools?

    Thanks!

    Paul, I just saw these last weekend at the Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, Ohio - so you might contact them for a vendor -

    We have stools from this company and love them. Each rolling rack has 20 stools and are easy to move around. They lock in place as well. We've had them a few years and they've held up really well. We've added more racks over time and added children's stools as well. Please feel free to contact me at chigginbotham@chrysler.org if I can answer any questions about them. They are really a great product.

    I agree with Ms. Higginbotham. The stools from Lectus Produktion are excellent. They are pricey, but they last for a long time, so it is an investment. I know some museums that ordered these stools over a decade ago and they are still good as new! Additionally, these stools are easy for people to carry around and can also be used as a walking cane when folded.
