Art/Literary - Furniture / Household Appliances / Detective thriller, Danish to English
Danish term or phrase: krostol
I'm translating a detective thriller, Danish to English.
A description of furniture includes a "krostol", which would appear to be a "pub chair", but I don't really think that's correct.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

agree  Christine Andersen: Windsor chairs cover a wide variety of designs, and some certainly come close. you could say solid or sturdy Windsor chairs - I would not call the lighter types 'krostole'.

Det er næsten som familiefotos, der sammen med gulvtæppet og krostolene giver fornemmelsen af, at man befinder sig i en smagløst indrettet dagligstue eller nogens hjem.
