[ISLMA-Share] Buoy Chair

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

?We have them in our teen area, and I have mixed feelings about them. The teens love to sit on them, but they're also lightweight and mostly hollow, so I hear a lot of noise every day from them being kicked, knocked over, picked up and then dropped, knocked into walls, etc. Some teens also can't resist the temptation to try laying or standing on them and others like to try to leapfrog over the bouys, so I have to keep an eye on them for that reason. Overall, the teens really like them, but I would be hesitant to place them in the library anywhere that isn't under pretty close supervision. I would also avoid getting the white exterior, since I've found that they can get scuffed up from shoes pretty quickly.


Hope that helps!?

So I am visiting a school today in Ohio... anyone have chairs like this http://store.steelcase.com/seating/lounge/buoy  What do you think?  I am not a fan of the price, but they are pretty cool to sit in.
