Know before you buy
The 24-inch counter height is designed for standard 36-inch kitchen counters, while the 30-inch bar height is intended for 42-inch high bar tops. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 9 to 12 inches of legroom for comfort.
Yes, the optional swivel mechanism is integrated into the solid hardwood construction to ensure smooth rotation and long-term stability. It is a great choice if you prefer easier access to and from your kitchen island or bar.
The solid wood seat offers a classic, easy-to-clean surface that highlights the natural grain of your chosen hardwood. Upholstered options, available in fabric or leather, provide additional cushioning and comfort for longer periods of sitting.
Absolutely. You can select rustic wood species like Rustic Cherry or Rustic Hickory, which feature natural character marks like knots and mineral streaks. Additionally, you can add distressing to the finish to give the stool an authentic, antique appearance.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the stool down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and spills. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can build up and damage the wood's protective clear coat over time.
Yes, the stools come with glides on the bottom of the legs to protect your flooring. You can specify the type of glide during the customization process to ensure they are best suited for your specific floor surface, such as hardwood, tile, or carpet.
