Rep Power: 10 | Care To Sit On A Giant Champagne Cork?
Care To Sit On A Giant Champagne Cork? Luxist, CA - Feb 19, 2008 
The folks at Wine Spectator's Unfiltered column didn't love it but I think the champagne cork and cage set from Michael Chiarello's home furnishings company Napa Style is kind of kicky. Then again I'm a fan of small things made large. The cork stool in bright orange is not made of cork but of polyethylene and the stool is made of chromed steel. The fun part is that the two pieces can function as one unit or a separate stool and a table. It costs $448 for the set.

Rep Power: 10 | I kind of like it, but wouldn't buy it.
There was a restaurant/bar I use to go to and they had small stools that looked like martini olives. I thought that was fun, but again, I wouldn't have them in my house. Great for the restaurant, though.

Rep Power: 10 | Really, I'd have no where to put it. Wouldn't go with my decor!

Rep Power: 1 | It doesn't look tall enough to even sit on comfortably...I am 5'10...just wouldn't work. The idea is cool...but that woman looks all hunched over.
Oh, and the cork shouldn't be orange.

Rep Power: 10 | I am only 5'2" so it would work for me, but I don't really need anything like that. It would be nice if you had a bar.

Rep Power: 2 | Looks like more something I would put at a bistro table on the patio, but the cork is ugly, looks more like it is orange colored mushroom than a cork. I need a chair or stool with a back. No backless for me unless it is a dress on a woman.

Rep Power: 10 | It looks too low to even use at a bar. I'm 5'2" as well..brings back memories of sitting at the kiddies table.
