Mini old wooden stool

This guy is very stocky and definitely once had some green colour. 
These mini stools take us back to the Former French Concession in Shanghai. On every street corner or lane house compound entrance we'd see people sat, having a chat or eating lunch. The stools were so small I always wondered why they used them. One day I saw a guy put his in a bag with his lunch box and then on the back of his bike and it made sense.  In your home they'd make a lovely plant stand or kids stool or kicthen stool even.
