Handcrafted Walnut Stool

The Milk Stool is a modern, heirloom-quality interpretation of the iconic farmer’s milk stool. Traditionally carried into the field for milking cows or enjoying a quiet moment of rest, this three-leg design has been reimagined by KHEM Studios with refined craftsmanship, sculptural simplicity, and enduring functionality.

Handmade in New York from solid, furniture-grade, kiln-dried American hardwoods sourced throughout the Northeast, each Milk Stool is built using mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joinery — techniques known for exceptional strength and long-term stability. This combination of traditional construction and modern form results in a versatile, durable seating piece suitable for dining tables, kitchens, workspaces, reading corners, or small-space living.

The stool’s balanced three-leg silhouette and gently contoured seat create a comfortable dining-height perch. Lightweight, adaptable, and visually striking, the Milk Stool functions beautifully as everyday seating or as an accent piece within the home. Finished with our food-safe oil and wax blend, the hardwood develops a warm patina over time, making each stool even more beautiful with use.
