Think 兀 and 杌 got mixed up

Editor: Well, you have provided a reference for 杌凳, but nothing to support the deletion of 兀凳.

You can find examples of 兀凳 usage like the following:

清代晋作三足兀凳

輕輕地走進屋,在靠床的一張兀凳上坐下,...

Are these typos?

Consider this:
1) The following webpage lists *all* of the following as variants / synonyms:
【杌子】【兀子】、【杌凳】【兀凳】
http://www.jiaodui.com/bbs/simple/?t29603.html
2) Various dictionaries indicate that 杌凳 is also written as either 杌子 or 兀子.
E.g. 杌子 [...] 也稱為「兀子」、「杌凳」。

i.e. both 杌 and 兀 are used to write "wùzi", despite the fact that 兀 and 杌 have nothing in common semantically. (One might speculate that 兀 came to be used in 兀子 and 兀凳 because of its shape, which resembles that of a stool.)
Diff:
# - 兀凳 兀凳 [wu4 deng4] /Chinese-style low stool/
+ 杌凳 杌凳 [wu4 deng4] /Chinese-style low stool/
