Industrial style trends do not seem to be budging a bit this year, and that's just fine by us. We dig the sturdy vintage vibe and interesting lines of many factory staples, but we have a particular fondness for draftsman stools. Perfect as extra seating at the table or cocktail/side tables, these humble stools are high on our wish list. Lucky for us, options abound.
This pricey $495 puppy from Urban Remains Chicago is a 1920's industrial stool from Toledo Metal Furniture Co.
Adjustable from 21" to 29" with a 15" diameter top, this one is from etsy seller, Urban Accent Home. $150
The Iron Swivel Stool from Worldstock and currently available from Overstock is made from reclaimed iron, and comes in your choice of nickel or burnt wax. Adjustable from 18.5" to 28." $149
Sundance's Modern Times Factory Stool has a 14-1/2" diameter seat, and adjusts 22" to 28"H. $195.
Wisteria's Cooper's Small Draftsman Stool is inspired by the iron draftsman stools of the early 1900s. It's small curved seat 14" in diameter is probably not suited for use as a table, but it's slender sculptural silhouette makes it a beautiful option for extra seating.
Crate & Barrel's beloved Turner bar stool is adjustable from 18"- 24" and a 13" diameter seat. $199.
Restoration Hardware's Vintage Barstool is modeled after the vintage classic. It has a 14" diameter seat and adjusts from 25"–29". $295
Another pricey beauty from Urban Remains. This 1930s factory stool has a generous wooden seat diameter of 20 1/2" and height adjusts from 28"-34". &350
We've also seen dozens of vintage options filter through ebay when we entered "industrial stool" into the search box. What other sources can you share?

love that clock in the first pic! anyone know where I can find something similar for not too much $$$?
Oh no. This comes about six months too late for me. I was looking for something adjustable to use as a piano stool without buying a piano stool (pricey) or a bench. I had seen a few of these online, but the ones I did see were out of my price range. The ones available from Overstock have a nicer look than the one I ended up buying though and it's roughly the same price. Mine leans a little on the office furniture end of things. Oh well.
I was just looking around my local used furniture shops and ebay for something like this. Was kind of shocked at how expensive these things are.
These are nice, but nothing compares to the toledo stools that have a back on them. The countoured plywood seat and back fits a normal adult so comfortably -- the backless variety have flat seats, so get to be pretty uncomfortable pretty quickly. I have 2 of the backless adjustable toledo stools, and 5 of the adjustable toledo stools with the seatbacks. They are really well made and worth every penny.
I really like the Lyon stools--pretty basic, pretty cheap (2 for $159).
