Know before you buy
The stool rotates 90 degrees in either direction from the center. Once you stand up, the memory return mechanism automatically rotates the seat back to its original forward-facing position, keeping your bar area looking tidy.
With a seat height of 31 inches, this stool is designed specifically for standard bar-height surfaces, which typically measure between 40 and 42 inches from the floor.
Top-grain leather is durable and develops a unique patina over time. To maintain it, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth and avoid placing it in direct sunlight to prevent fading or drying.
The armless design provides a sleek, minimalist profile that tucks easily under most bars. While it lacks armrests, the barrel back frame is contoured to provide substantial support for your back during extended seating.
The frame is built using corner-block and cleat construction, which are traditional woodworking techniques that reinforce the joints. This ensures the stool remains sturdy and wobble-free even with frequent daily use.
