Industrial-inspired Stools

This style of stool is everywhere - from your favorite cocktail lounge to high-end furniture stores - except anywhere that sells affordable seating.

Ikea sells the "Dalfred" stool shown in the corner, but for some reason it's got a dinky foot-wide seat. Feels more like a stool for a plant than your butt.

Screw a $12 wood pine round from Home Depot to the current seat, stain it, and your breakfast bar looks hundreds of dollars more impressive.
