Know before you buy
The counter height stool measures 25 inches from the floor to the seat, making it ideal for standard 36-inch kitchen islands. The bar height stool stands at 30 inches, which is designed to fit comfortably against a 42-inch high bar or pub table.
Hand-forged iron is exceptionally durable and designed for long-term use. Because each piece is crafted to order, the frame offers superior structural integrity compared to mass-produced metal furniture.
Yes, the premium leather selected for these stools is chosen for its resilience and ability to age gracefully. Regular dusting and occasional conditioning will keep the leather supple and protected from everyday wear.
The backless silhouette is specifically designed for compact spaces. Because there is no backrest, the stool can be pushed completely under most standard overhangs, helping to keep your walkways clear.
The frame features the subtle, tactile imprints of the blacksmith’s hammer, which gives it a storied, artisanal character. While it is not perfectly smooth like machine-milled steel, it is finished to be safe and comfortable for daily contact.
