Q & A
This stackable stool was designed by Alvar Aalto during the years of 1932-33. Aalto developed the bent L-shaped leg to achieve his ultimate design aesthetic which mixed art and nature with technology. This unique bending technology became the basis of Stool 60 and was later patented. Both the seat and legs are comprised of solid birch veneer accented with white laminate on the seat's surface.
Represented in the collections of: Museum of Modern Art (NY), Busch-Reisinger Museum (MA), Vitra Design Museum (Germany)

I am sure I will really like it, BUT-----

I was disappointed that I had to put it together. Probably simple for most, but with arthritic hands, difficult for me. I still have to find someone with a power screwdriver to make sure the screws are sufficiently tight. Looks good, though, and I am sure I will enjoy having and using it.
