reply by Hans Baarslag - Fri Oct 31 (2003) stool with storage space Stool with storage space will may be misunderstood by english people. I think you mean chair with storage space.Is it possible to fold the chair when empty?Or is it possible to lock the storage space? Hans reply by Reinder / Demotech - Fri Oct 31 (2003) Re: stool with storage space >Is it possible to fold the chair? Yes, when a producer takes a number of stools to a vendor, one connection between the three vertical panels is left undone. In this way the stools can be stored flat, take little space during transport and are better protected against damage. After delivery the vendor has to make the last connection. After participating in the producing of these stools in The Gambia, I took stools in a flat package with me on the plane back home. At our workshop in Maastricht you can enjoy them. People there gave them a beautiful coloring!
