Kaytie,

I got my stools from Houtz & Barwick.  www.houtzandbarwick.com  800-775-0337

 

They are the kind you describe, and you can order them in 16 inch or 19 inch height.  I got the 19-inch seat height because it is easier for people to get up and down.  This was the only place I could find them in the taller height. 

 

They have aluminum frames that support something like 300lbs each, so they are very sturdy.

 

I believe you have to order them in batches of 12.  They come out to about $12.00 each plain, if I remember correctly. We had our logo screened on ours, which cost a little more.   You can also order a cart to hold the stools.  I don’t remember how much those were because we didn’t order one.

Colleagues:

Can anyone suggest a source for reasonably priced, camp-stool style seating for museum galleries?  I'm seeking flexible stools (as opposed to hard wood) that can fold up and be stored on some sort of moveable rack/storage system.

I would appreciate any off-list responses/suggestions you might have.

Many thanks!
