I am looking for suppliers (and prices) of wooden birth stools similar
to the one showed at http://www.birthwithsol.com/birthstool.html.  The
suppliers must be able to ship to Norway.

I think this piece of equipment is commonly used in Germany, but I
don't have the faintest idea what this thing is called in German
(geburtsschammel?).  Please, don't suggest any ugly metal stools such
as the one shown at

Dear blazius,

Here is a German master cabinet maker who makes and sells wooden birth stools:
http://steiger-lankes.de/20hgbh_a.htm

The customer can choose among various kinds of wood and even request
combinations of various woods. Is that what you are looking for?

I suggest that you contact the company and inquire if they would
deliver to Norway. If they agree, you can let me know and I will make
this an answer:

Steiger & Lankes
Schreinerei für Möbel und Innenausbau
Niederried 23
82069 Hohenschäftlarn
Germany

Hi!  I've written this company and am awaiting their reply.  Are you
aware of any other suppliers?  In my own research, I've now been able
to dig out http://www.febromed.de/ (producer of lots of odd birthing
devices...).

I have got a reply from Steiger & Lankes, they are willing to ship to
Norway (but at a very high cost - ?470!).  I'll accept your
information as part of a $10 answer if you locate at least one more
supplier (of course, one that I haven't listed already).  If you're
not able to find any others (for $10), please tell me.
