Price History
Description
Store beneath a basin or next to a bath tub, Slatted stool is a place to sit, stack towels and keep slippers. Keep it out of the way but close at hand for those times when it’s just what you need. Available in many finishes to suit your bathroom style. Designed by Lincoln Rivers for Wireworks. Finished with a matt, water resistant lacquer. Silicone feet stop it slipping. All edges look crisp but are carefully hand sanded to make them soft to the touch. Made from sustainably harvested natural American white oak and oak veneers, selected for their warm colour, beautiful grain pattern and traditional hardwood durability.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Wireworks slatted stool in dark oak for its versatile design and understated elegance. It's perfect for adding a natural, warm touch to both modern and traditional interiors. It works particularly well as a bedside or occasional stool, or even as extra seating in a kitchen or dining space. Style it with textured cushions or layered rugs for a cosy feel, or leave it pared-back for a minimalist look. Its robust construction and simple lines mean it’s both practical and stylish, making it a great choice for homes that favour functional design with a touch of warmth.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
