Know before you buy
The seat height is 21 1/4 inches. This makes it slightly taller than a standard dining chair, so it is best suited for use as an accent piece or in a vanity area.
The slung seat is designed for occasional use rather than long-term lounging. While it offers a comfortable, relaxed posture, it does not provide the firm, structured support of a traditional upholstered seat.
Dust the mahogany frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the Old English Sable finish. For the brass accents, use a gentle metal polish sparingly, ensuring you avoid contact with the wood to prevent staining.
The arm height is 25 1/4 inches. You should measure the clearance of your desk or table to ensure it can accommodate the height of the arm terminals before sliding the stool underneath.
Yes, weighing 28.66 lbs, the stool has a substantial feel and a sturdy 'X' base design. It is stable for standard use, though you may want to add felt pads to the base to protect your flooring.
