Know before you buy
The counter height stool is designed for standard 36-inch kitchen islands, while the bar height stool is intended for 42-inch high bars. We recommend measuring from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 9 to 12 inches of legroom for a comfortable fit.
The stool features a premium ball-bearing swivel mechanism designed for silent, fluid 360-degree rotation. It is engineered to move effortlessly without the grinding or squeaking often found in lower-quality swivel stools.
Yes, the seat is generously scooped to distribute weight evenly, and the 'waterfall' backrest features five steam-bent slats that follow the natural curve of your spine. These ergonomic design elements are specifically included to provide support during extended use.
Because these stools are handcrafted to order by Amish woodworkers, they typically arrive fully assembled or with minimal, straightforward attachment required for the seat base. Please check the specific packaging instructions included with your delivery to confirm.
To maintain the wood's luster, simply wipe the stool down with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can build up and dull the finish over time.
