How many different sizes of garden stools are available?

Chinese round garden stools were made in a range of sizes, for use both indoors and out. Used as a form of casual seating as early as the Song dynasty (920-1279), these drum-form stools were common in Chinese aristocratic homes and were made with a variety of materials and decorative designs.
