Post by: bent98 on August 25, 2008, 10:00:35 pm

Custom slip covers for bar stool. $50 ea. + shipping minimum (2) per order.

I will need to see logo or graphic file first before accepting order.

Many local kitchen dining room stores have them or online. I just sell covers that go over them.

Now that's a nice idea.  What process do you use to get the design in/on there?  I ask in order to get a feel for the future durability.

Since its custom and a small qty, (lower then 100) Image is printed digitally on a special substrate. It has a plastic cover over it. Should be pretty darn good as far as wear and tear.

If the minimum order qty is 2 is that $50 for a set of 2? Or $100 for a set of 2?

Sorry for confusion. 2 covers @ $50 ea. So $100 +shipping.

...that is about twice as much as I'd be willing to part with for such an item.  If/when you can get the process down to the $25.00/per range I'd be interested for sure.

I'm with Frizzle. It would be cool if you came up with a graphic with more or less universal appeal to this community (that mame one in your pic would qualify I'd guess) and have a bunch made so as to reduce the price. Maybe you and Santoro could work out a deal to sell them on his site - perhaps he could give them exposure to a bigger audience, thus increasing the number of units you could sell, thus allowing you to get them made in larger quantities, thus reducing the per-unit price. ;D Maybe you could even have a design contest for the artwork like Santoro does with his tokens. ;D

My wife just picked up 3 barstools just like that, so it would be cool to get something like this for them, but there's no way I'd spring for 3 of these @ 150 plus shipping.

Was there any progress of the possibility of reducing the price or maybe offering a set of 2 @ $50?

I would definitely buy a set if the latter was the case?

I completely agree with the above! I would love to have matching tokens to my bartop stools! ;D

I can not. Since the lack of demand/price I decided not to pursue this offering any further.
