Know before you buy
The 24-inch height is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36 inches tall. The 30-inch height is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches tall. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have adequate legroom.
The stationary base is fixed in place. The 360-degree swivel allows for full rotation, while the memory swivel base includes a mechanism that automatically returns the seat to its original forward-facing position after use, keeping your space looking tidy.
Yes, the available materials range from wood and faux leather to performance fabrics like Revolution and genuine Ultraleather. For high-traffic areas or homes with children and pets, we recommend choosing the performance fabrics or genuine leather for their superior stain resistance and longevity.
Absolutely. You can select from a wide variety of hardwoods, including Red Oak, Cherry, Walnut, and several rustic options. Since each wood species takes stain differently, we recommend viewing samples to ensure the grain and finish complement your current decor.
Stretcher covers are metal accents that wrap around the footrest area of the chair. Beyond adding a decorative touch, they protect the wood finish from scuffs and wear caused by shoes, helping the chair maintain its appearance over time.
As a handcrafted piece, the chair is built to order by Amish artisans. Depending on the shipping method, some minor assembly may be required, though most components are pre-fitted to ensure structural integrity.
