Industrial Metal Machining Stool by Adjustrite
Originally manufactured by the American Seating Company, these stools were designed to provide a sturdy and adjustable seating option for industrial workers in factories and workshops.
The design of the Adjustrite stool is notable for its simple yet effective mechanism, which allows the user to easily adjust the height of the seat to accommodate different tasks and work surfaces. This was achieved through the use of a threaded rod and a series of washers, which could be loosened or tightened to raise or lower the seat as needed. This stool has a harder time adjusting but is completely functional as a standard stool.
Over time, the Adjustrite stool became a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including home workshops, art studios, and music rooms. The stools were particularly prized by musicians, who appreciated their sturdy construction and adjustable height, which made them ideal for playing instruments for extended periods of time.
Today, vintage Adjustrite metal stools are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate their functional design, industrial aesthetic, and historical significance. Many of these stools have been restored and repurposed for use in contemporary homes and workspaces, where they continue to provide a durable and versatile seating option that is both practical and stylish.
