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 kitchen island looking tidy.
A 24-inch stool is typically best for standard kitchen counters measuring 36 inches high. If you have a taller bar-height surface of 42 inches, the 30-inch stool will provide the most comfortable seating position.
While the covers add a personalized aesthetic touch to the base, they also serve as a protective layer for the wood stretchers. They help prevent scuffs and wear from shoes resting on the footrests over time.
Hardwoods like Hard Maple and Hickory are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents, making them excellent choices for busy homes. If you prefer a softer look, Cherry and White Oak are also highly durable options that age beautifully with daily use.
Yes, the steam-bent slats are designed to follow the natural curve of your back, providing ergonomic support that is more comfortable than a flat backrest. This design helps maintain a relaxed posture during meals or extended conversations.
Absolutely. With ten different tack finishes ranging from Antique Pearl and Pewter to Shiny Black and Brass, you can easily coordinate the stool's accents with your cabinet pulls, lighting fixtures, or other metal finishes in your room.
