Hi all,

These two stools are on sale in France as Aalto 64 from the 80s, but they look different from all 70-current model I have seen.
I have photos of early model 64 (30'-40') who look different than the current model with straighter legs similar to the one in the picture.
The two screws per leg are particularly odd to me as I only have seen L type legs fixed with three.
Obviously because of the lacquer impossible to see if the legs are solid wood.

What do you think?

Of the leg bend?

The most surefire way
of telling an Aalto stool from a fake is by looking at the setup of the screws. There is supposed to be three of them and set in the order as seen in the image below.
