We really liked the look of this stool with the nail heads, and we customized the stools to bar stool height by extending the length of the 2x2s to 27.5". We also bound the legs together before we started to put the stools together and sanded down the ends to make sure that they sat flush and wouldn't wobble...I would definitely recommend doing that because they are sturdy and don't wobble at all.
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
We painted the base with a black enamel paint. Then we added batting and foam for the cushion and wrapped the tops with a faux leather. We then trimmed everything with nail head pins.
