This one is built from solid wood in the honest, unadorned manner of rural French joinery: a two-plank rectangular top with a hand-cut oval carry hole, four turned legs on one side and a pair of shaped bracket legs on the other, braced by a double dowel stretcher. The whole piece has been painted white at some point in its life, giving it a clean, washed look that works equally well in a farmhouse kitchen, a bathroom or a child's bedroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white paint has aged beautifully into a softly distressed surface, with areas of natural warm wood showing through where use and time have worn away the finish. The bracket legs have a gentle curved silhouette that keeps the piece from feeling purely utilitarian, and the sturdy double stretcher speaks to the solid construction beneath. It sits flat and firm. As a small side table, a plant stand, a bedside perch for a book and a glass, or simply a rustic accent piece, it carries that unhurried, lived-in quality that French farmhouse objects do so naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. The white paint shows visible peeling and loss across the top surface, with natural wood exposed around the carry hole and in scattered patches -- all part of an honest, well-worn patina. Light wear to the base of the legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 13.3 in wide x 7.9 in deep x 7.1 in high (33.7 x 20 x 18 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59017291366744,"sku":"FMF-P4VY5YUR","price":149.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/06c97aa36b0b144bc8f435623d047dc6.jpg?v=1793688068","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-wooden-step-stool-white-distressed-03112610","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
