With this DIY kit, you can craft your own stool and storage box using high-quality Japanese Hinoki wood and wooden dowels. Hinoki is known for its natural fragrance, resistance to moisture, and beautiful grain, making it an ideal material for handmade furniture that combines functionality and aesthetics. This kit is also perfect for a hands-on workshop, where participants can enjoy building their own piece using traditional joinery. The use of wooden dowels allows for a clean finish without the need for nails or screws.

Product FAQs
Will the chair arrive fully assembled, or is assembly required?
The chairs are delivered fully assembled.
Can the seat height be adjusted?
Since they are made of solid wood, they do not have adjustable height mechanisms. However, if you would like the seat height customized, we can make adjustments before shipping. If you are unsure about your size, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Is there a table-and-chair set available for purchase?
We apologize, but table-and-chair sets are currently unavailable. That said, Okawa Furniture offers a wide variety of tables; please take a look at our Table Collection to find the perfect match for you.
Is natural wood used, and is the surface smooth?
All of our chairs are crafted from natural wood. Each piece is carefully hand-sanded by our artisans, resulting in a smooth surface and a beautifully refined finish.
