What customers say
Customers are overwhelmingly positive about the Buxton stool's sophisticated design, noting its ability to elevate any kitchen or bar area. The quality of the materials, particularly the wood finish and upholstery, receives high marks for durability and substantial feel.

Know before you buy
The upholstery requires solvent-based cleaning, denoted by the 'S' cleaning code. This means you should use a mild, water-free dry cleaning solvent to spot clean any stains rather than water-based solutions.
This stool is designed for standard kitchen counters, which typically measure 36 inches in height. With a seat height tailored for this level, it provides a comfortable dining position that is lower than the taller bar stools intended for 42-inch high surfaces.
The paper rush adds a firm, textured aesthetic to the backrest. While it provides sturdy support, it is not cushioned, so it is best suited for casual dining or shorter periods of use rather than extended lounging.
The upholstery is a blend of 92% polyester and 8% flax/linen, specifically chosen for its high durability and resistance to wear. The polyester provides the strength needed for daily use, while the small amount of flax/linen adds a natural, sophisticated texture.
Yes, the mortise and tenon joinery is a hallmark of high-quality furniture construction. It creates a very strong, interlocking connection between the wood components, ensuring the stool remains stable and wobble-free over years of regular use.
