Love the concept but maybe a little less frill for a wider market. Buyer can always dress them up to suit personal taste. So in this case basic dressings for sales. The pictures give rise to other imagination. I say AWESOME concept. and Faraeha makes a point you could sell them as a set.. The black and white is my favorite here. WTG and good luck..Keep us posted.
I love your samples. I think, however, that these are quite juvenile. Maybe a bit more grown up and rustic would suit a larger market. Why not offer both?!
I think there is a market for stools from spools but these are just to fufu, frilly, gaudy. Tone it down maybe make the tops of the seats a bit higher/more taylored, maybe feet on them, cubbies under them..etc. There are soooo many options! You really did a cute job on these but I just don't see a market. Sorry : (
Thanks everyone. I have a 7 year old little girl who uses her stool for everything, especially when coloring or drawing. So I had pictured kids using them. So that is why they are a bit busy and frilly. I have more "grown up" ones in the making.
@Renee there is a market for everything i think kids would love these stools, i see all kinds of ideas ,football themed baseball,animals, just have fun .... how do you plan to sell them if i may ask? xx
Top 2. Fabric fabulous, bows and whistles awful! Unless it's child sized, this should have black or charcoal pillar too. Just let the classy fabric speak for itself>
OK...I see frilly...I also see denim which isn't really frilly...I personally love them all...frilliness included!! I would decide what age you are targeting and go for it. There are people who like the industrial look...try something to fit that market...then there are people with Victorian, country, rustic, teens, Americana, on and on...you have the whole decorating world to choose from...go for it!!
All the business sites that I have looked at have said to look for the best market for what you are doing and then aim for that! Do some from each suggestion and see what goes best and then aim for that market! These are really sweet for a little girls room.

you are on your way, girl. Just broaden your horizon a bit!
@Renee there is a market for everything i think kids would love these stools, i see all kinds of ideas ,football themed baseball,animals, just have fun .... how do you plan to sell them if i may ask? xx
Anyway I can. We have done sports themes and I have a race car one I'm working on too.
YES. Good luck!!!
Yes i do, and you should look for the other size spools as well tables and stools I would like a spool stool set in my yard!
CUTE--I could also see 3 or 4 together as an ottoman.

Thanks for your input. These are for children, as they only sit about 14-15" high.
Renee you should take these to Affair of the Heart. People would for sure love them for their kids rooms! Fantastic!
to frilly tone it done some and they will sell better
They are frilly because, I think they are a perfect size for children to use.

Thank you. These are only about 14-15 inches high, so I think they are best suited for children to use. I am working on some boy themes to add.
These are great! So cute!
they are darling
