Know before you buy
The 18-inch height is designed for standard dining tables, the 24-inch stool is ideal for kitchen counters, and the 30-inch height is best suited for bar-height surfaces. We recommend measuring the distance from your floor to the underside of your table or counter to ensure there is enough legroom.
Mortise and tenon is a traditional woodworking technique that creates a mechanical lock between two pieces of wood. This method is exceptionally durable and prevents the stool from wobbling or loosening over time, ensuring it remains sturdy for generations.
The conversion varnish provides a hard, protective barrier that is significantly more durable than standard lacquers. It is specifically formulated to resist damage from common household spills, including alcohol, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic kitchen or bar areas.
The swivel is integrated as a standard feature and is designed for smooth, reliable operation without the need for regular maintenance. It allows for easy movement and accessibility, making it a practical choice for busy kitchen environments.
Yes, the Belmont barstool is fully customizable. You can select a solid wood seat for a classic, easy-to-clean look, or opt for fabric or leather upholstery if you prefer added comfort and texture.
The Meribeth top adds 11.5 inches to the base height of the stool. When calculating total height, simply add this measurement to your chosen seat height of 18, 24, or 30 inches.
