My Project

Our current chairs are bulky and take up too much space. These stools will stack neatly and can slide under the table. They also look very nice because they match each other and give a calming sense to the bright room. The sit spots for the carpet help us know where to sit when we move to calendar/reading corner, easel time, and also where to line up. We line up on dots anytime we need to leave the room, and when we get the new ones we will have a separate spot for when we line up to go home.
