Know before you buy
The stationary base is fixed in place, while the 360-degree swivel allows for full rotation in any direction. The memory swivel base offers the same rotation but includes a mechanism that automatically returns the seat to its original forward-facing position when not in use.
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches high. We recommend measuring from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 10 to 12 inches of legroom.
Yes, the seat is ergonomically scooped to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points. While it provides excellent support, those who prefer a softer feel may want to opt for one of our upholstered seat options.
Absolutely. You can choose from a variety of materials, including faux leather, microfiber, and genuine Ultraleather. We also offer optional nail head trim if you want to add a decorative, tailored finish to your stool.
Steam-bending allows the wood to be shaped into a gentle curve without compromising its structural integrity. This creates a backrest that contours naturally to your spine, providing significantly more comfort than a flat, straight-slat design.
Hardwoods like Hard Maple and Hickory are exceptionally dense and resistant to daily wear. If you prefer a distinct grain pattern, Quarter Sawn White Oak is also a very durable choice that resists warping and shrinking over time.
