I just finished making a Philadelphia back stool. I sent a picture to a friend and he asked why it is called a back stool.
In the Winterthur New England book they show several back stools, many have arms. It seems the term "back stool" refers to a chair with a back (duh) which has the back and seat upholstered. So even if it has arms (un-upholstered) it is still a back stool.
Seemed like a good question for the forum. Why "Back Stool"?
