What a dumb policy. What could be gained from not disclosing a source? Seems like you'd want to help out a company that is making things for you to sell.
That's exactly why I thought. I just want to be sure I don't spend a bunch of money on some crappy stool.
Here's my conversation with them:
Hello *William
It is the policy not to disclose the source of our product. The product manager has this but will not release it. *Sorry about that. *

Thanks Calvin, can you tell me who youo get them from?* I've done some research and there are a lot of companies that brand and sell*stolls similar to these.* I'd love to get the same ones that you use as I am ipressed by the quality.* I'm sure they would appreciate the referal as well.* If you can't tell me just let me know and I'll try to figure it out.

Hello William,
We do not make these here, they are branded for us. *You can find sources on the internet for stool manufacturers offering logo branding. *

Comments: I have a strange request. I really like your 32 inch 360 swivel logoed stools. So much so that I'd like a few for my home workshop. What I'm wondering is if you manufacture them yourself or if you have someone make them for you and just brand them with your logo. I'd like to order some with my logo, but I want the same high quality stools like yours. If you do have someone else make them would you please let me know who makes them? Thanks, Will
