Know before you buy
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36 inches tall. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches tall. Measure the distance from the floor to the underside of your counter or bar to ensure you have at least 10 to 12 inches of legroom.
The stationary base offers a traditional, stable feel and is ideal if you prefer your seating to remain fixed in place. The swivel base provides 360-degree rotation, making it easier to get in and out of the stool, especially in tighter kitchen or bar layouts.
The choice depends on your desired durability and aesthetic. Oak and Hickory are exceptionally hard and feature prominent grain patterns, while Maple offers a smooth, uniform texture. Cherry and Walnut are prized for their rich, warm tones and ability to age beautifully over time.
Yes, because these stools are handcrafted from solid hardwoods, they are built to withstand daily use. The ladder-back design is structurally robust, and the premium finishes are applied to protect the wood from moisture and wear.
Yes, the stool is available in a wide range of stain finishes. We recommend reviewing the finish samples on your specific wood choice, as the natural characteristics of hardwoods like Walnut or Cherry can influence how the final stain appears.
