Perhaps its because they look wonderful mixed with any decor.<br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453252365534712850" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S63YIkZBVBI/AAAAAAAAEhs/8LWkaVXgRPA/s400/tolix.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /><span style="font-size:78%;">(Alimesh)<br /></span>One of my favorite items are the industrial stools from Tolix. What appeals to me most is their small size, wonderful lines and how I can tuck them under the center island to create a clear walking path.<br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453252373186884162" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S63YJA5cMkI/AAAAAAAAEh0/dg5WG0jGwhc/s400/tolixstool-pic2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" /> <span style="font-size:78%;">(Apartment Therapy)</span><br />Tolix is a French company that makes extraordinary metal furniture. I wanted a change in the kitchen, but budgets being as they are I really couldn't justify the price when I had perfectly fine wood stools.<br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453252362162873842" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S63YIX1HJfI/AAAAAAAAEhk/HhsF6x9CxYU/s400/Tolix+-+Sundance.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 287px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 283px; CURSOR: hand" /> The Tolix stools are available through <a href="http://www.antiquaireonline.com/">Melissa Edelman Antiquaire</a>, a Chicago-area dealer who represents the full line of Tolix or above from <a href="http://www.sundancecatalog.com/PRODUCT/41733.html">Sundance </a>catalogue. But at $245. plus shipping per stool I had to pass. So imagine how thrilled I was when I found a copy at Overstock.com. The "Tabouret" stools are very close to the wonderful original Tolix stools and at 2 for $99.00, I thought they would be worth a try.<br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453252378988355746" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tSGOcFKOoqI/S63YJWgnoKI/AAAAAAAAEh8/w86_Kynw01M/s400/tolix-tabouret+overstock.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /> <span style="font-size:78%;">(overstock.com)</span><br /><div align="center">I have had them for several months and I am very impressed with the quality. The are wonderfully versatile and since I purchased them, they have been moving all over the house. They have been in the Butler's pantry, the basement playroom and even as our primary kitchen center island stools. Here is the link to them at <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Tabouret-30-inch-Metal-Barstools-Set-of-2/3879161/product.html">Overstock.com</a>. When I first found them they were out of stock but I signed up for a notification and when they were back in stock I purchased them.</div><div align="center">.</div>Tomorrow I'll show you our center island with the current wood stools and then the Tabouret stools and you can help me decide which we should use in kitchen.<br /><div align="left">.<br /></div>Enjoy your Saturday!! </div>
