This is a raw flatpack kit yielding 2 sturdy ponOcto stools. What you get is the raw CNC cut. Which means that you will have to - cut the pieces loose by cutting through the tabs - sand off burr and edges (one pass with 100 grit, then finish with 200) Assembly: - choose the nicest side of the seat and put that face down on the floor - insert 3 legs into the seat (3, NOT 4!) - slot in the ring (again, notice the nicest face) - insert last leg - stand stool upright - with a rubber mallet (or a hammer, but using a piece of wood as buffer), knock the ring in place by hitting close to the legs - work gradually and avoid hitting too hard (work on a hard surface, like a concrete floor) - insert the 4 little keyhole pegs into the holes in the seat and knock them in place Paint or seal the stool for longevity.

Classic Octo Stool - scale model

This is a scale model of the iconic Octo Stool. The Octo Stool is a snapfit plywood design, requiring glue nor screws. It is an exercise in waste-reduction. The pieces of the stool fit almost perfectly in a square, and 8 squares fit perfectly in a standard sheet of plywood. Read Octo's story here: http://madeonjupiter.com/category/designs/octo-stool/
