Know before you buy
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches high. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter or bar to ensure you have at least 10 to 12 inches of legroom.
The standard swivel allows for a full 360-degree rotation in either direction. The memory swivel feature includes a return mechanism that automatically rotates the seat back to its original forward-facing position when not in use, keeping your kitchen or bar area looking tidy.
Yes, you can choose from various upholstery options, including Crypton fabrics. These are specifically engineered to be moisture-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to clean, making them an excellent choice for high-traffic households.
Floor glides are highly recommended to prevent scratches on your flooring. Choose felt glides if you have hardwood or tile floors to allow for smooth, quiet movement, or nylon glides if you have carpeted surfaces.
Because these stools are crafted from 100% solid hardwood, they are naturally heavier and more stable than mass-produced alternatives. This weight provides a sturdy, grounded feel that prevents tipping and ensures long-term durability.
The crescent backrest is ergonomically shaped to provide lumbar support while maintaining a low profile. Combined with the deeply scooped solid wood seat, it is designed to balance minimalist aesthetics with functional comfort for casual dining or conversation.
