Locating/purchasing simple fold up stools

[dennis osipiak]

I did my search..4pages later I'm ready for help. I want to find and purchase

some relatively inexpensive folding or collapsible short seats/stools for some

variety in posing larger Bridal parties and or families for weddings outdoors.

Years ago lots of discount stores ( a dissappearing breed) carried simple canvas

or metal foldup stools that were about 30-36 inches tall. I've googled outdoor

equipment suppliers, lawn furniture searches, and the traditional walmart,

target, Sears etc with no luck. Any ideas/links? Sturdy enough to be safe, light

enough to collapse and carry a few easily.

Thanks

Dennis

Not sure if they are online or not, but Wal-Mart sure has a great selection in the store

(Oklahoma). I"ve seen the regular metal folding chair, same with cusion, and a cool folding

metal stool with very short back. I think that was only $16 or so. I've seen some more

"modern" styled folding stools there too. I am sure Target has similar, but you sometimes

have to just go into the stores to find them.

You're in CT, so I'm sure you've heard of Expect Discounts...They had a sale about this time last year selling off what I'm sure was a surplus lot of this circular folding stools that you used to see every wedding photog toting around. I got the flyer on a Friday went to go buy a few on Sunday, and they were already sold out.

 

Let me know if you find any.

I've used a portable piano bench which works fairly well and is comfortable enough that the old folks will sit and not complain :{)

 

Don't know about the 30-36" tall, that's pretty high up. These are

normal sitting height and adjustable to a degree (3 settings) for $19.99

 

Take a look at Radio Shack (yep said RS, strange world huh?)

Just looked at my own link again ...

and there's one for $9.95 (which is the same as the Yamaha one without the BIG name)..

Such a deal!!!

Here's what I found googling. The top middle black one is one that I have--I have them in two heights and got them at Target, which doesn't have them anymore. Wish I'd bought more at the time.

I saw one at the Walmart store for about $9 in solid black and black with a wooden top.

I have 2 that are exactly like the one that Nadine described and shows in her link, I purchased an all black one at Wal-mart, the other is identical except it has a blue seat cushion, I purchased that one at our local Dollar General store for $6.99.

No, but I have seen other wedding photographers that do. I use them for outdoor portraits.
