Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A metal barstool with a black vinyl seat. The seat of the stool is constructed of two (2) seat sections that attach together. The top section of the seat is an approximately 1-1/2 inch thick piece of foam covered by black vinyl. The lower section of the seat is an approximately 3-1/8 inch piece of plywood wrapped in black vinyl and secured with glue and rivets. The stool has four (4) metal legs, each leg flaring out slightly at the bottom. The legs attach together to form a frame, and this frame is affixed to the underside of the seat with five (5) bolts, so that the seat does not swivel. Two (2) metal circles attach horizontally to the stool legs, serving as foot rests, one circle at 1 foot up from the ground, and the second circle at 18-1/2 inches up from the ground.
