Discarded piano stools are excellent for
kitchen use, as they can be made any
height to suit the table or sink, and have
an advantage over office chairs which are
often used for the kitchen in that they
may be upholstered, and are therefore
much softer and more comfortable. They
should be covered on top with white
kitchen oilcloth or tan linene, which
washes nicely.

We may look back but fifty years to
