Safari Trove Carved Borana Stool

While it is a functional seat, the Borana stool is designed more for short-term use, such as social gatherings or as a decorative accent, rather than long-term lounging. Its rigid, hand-carved hardwood surface is firm and lacks ergonomic contouring.

Because this piece features a natural, aged patina, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or polishes. Simply dust it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; if the wood appears dry over time, you can apply a light coat of high-quality beeswax or mineral oil to nourish the grain.

The three-legged design is inherently stable on flat, level surfaces. However, because each stool is hand-carved from a single block of wood, there may be slight variations in the leg length or base alignment, so we recommend using felt pads on the feet to protect your floors and ensure a level seat.

Yes. Since every stool is hand-carved from a unique block of dense hardwood, you should expect natural variations in grain pattern, color depth, and the specific hand-hewn marks left by the artisan. These irregularities are not defects but are hallmarks of the stool's authenticity and history.

Absolutely. Its sculptural form and sturdy construction make it an excellent choice for a side table, plant stand, or display pedestal. The flat, circular top provides a stable surface for books, drinks, or decorative objects.
