What customers say
Customers consistently praise the exceptional craftsmanship and solid wood construction of the Somerset Bar Stool. The design strikes a perfect balance between traditional charm and modern simplicity. Many reviewers highlight the impressive durability and the comfort provided by the contoured seat.

Know before you buy
The stationary base is fixed in place, while the 360-degree swivel allows for full rotation. The memory swivel option includes a mechanism that automatically returns the seat to its original forward-facing position after you stand up, keeping your bar area looking tidy.
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36 inches tall. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches tall. Measure the distance from the floor to the underside of your counter or bar to ensure proper leg clearance.
For high-traffic areas, consider the Revolution or Ultraleather options, as these are engineered for durability and are generally easier to clean than standard fabric. If you prefer a classic look, the wood seat is the most resilient and easiest to wipe down, though it offers less cushioning than upholstered versions.
Yes, wood species vary significantly in texture and grain. For example, Red Oak and Hickory feature prominent, bold grain patterns, while Brown Maple and Cherry offer a much smoother, more uniform appearance. We recommend considering the overall aesthetic of your space—bold grains make a statement, while tighter grains provide a more refined, subtle look.
The Somerset Bar Stool is handcrafted in the USA and typically arrives fully assembled. Because it is built with durable, traditional construction methods, you can expect a sturdy, ready-to-use piece right out of the box.
