OK.. at first glance you may think this off the wall, but here goes.. especially for whoever wanted a stool like the one at the Dr's office. Call your local hospital and see what they do with "old" hospital furniture that they are replacing. Several hospitals I have worked at have an area for furniture items they are replacing, and will take "bids" on them.. You'd be amazed what you can get and what a reasonable price. I'm still trying for a bedside (or overbed) table.. those are soooooooo handy!
