What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Hawthorn Bar Stool for its exceptional craftsmanship and solid wood construction. The stool feels substantial and well built, reflecting the high standards of Amish furniture making. Many owners appreciate the timeless design that fits seamlessly into various kitchen styles.

Know before you buy
The 24" stool is designed for standard kitchen counters, which are typically 36" high. The 30" stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, usually measuring 42" high. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 9 to 12 inches of legroom.
The stationary base is fixed and provides maximum stability. The 360-degree swivel allows for full rotation in any direction, while the memory swivel is designed to automatically return the seat to its original forward-facing position after you stand up, keeping your kitchen looking tidy.
Yes, we offer a range of performance materials including faux leather and microfiber, which are specifically chosen for their ease of cleaning and resistance to wear. If you have young children or pets, these synthetic options are generally more forgiving than genuine leather or premium fabrics.
The one-piece steam-bent stretcher is a hallmark of high-quality woodworking that adds significant structural integrity to the stool. By using a single piece of wood bent under heat and moisture rather than multiple joined pieces, the stool gains superior strength and a cleaner, more refined aesthetic.
Yes, you can select from a wide variety of hardwoods like Cherry, Walnut, or Quarter Sawn White Oak and pair them with your choice of stain. Because each wood species takes stain differently, we recommend considering the natural grain patterns of your chosen wood to ensure the final finish matches your existing furniture.
The optional stretcher cover is a metal plate that attaches to the footrest area of the stool. It protects the wood finish from scuffs and scratches caused by shoes, helping the stool maintain its appearance over years of daily use.
