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 is designed to rotate 360 degrees and automatically return the seat to its original forward-facing position when not in use, keeping your bar area looking tidy.
A 24-inch stool is typically ideal for standard kitchen counters, which are usually 36 inches high. For taller bar-height surfaces, which are generally 42 inches high, the 30-inch stool provides the most comfortable seating clearance.
Yes, the stool is available in a variety of performance materials including faux leather, microfiber, and genuine Ultraleather, all of which are selected for their durability and ease of cleaning. If you prefer a natural look, the solid wood seat option is finished to withstand regular wear and is easy to wipe down.
Yes, you can choose between three distinct edge profiles: the classic Mission edge, a soft Roundover, or a sleek Bevel. The Mission edge is the standard choice, but the Roundover and Bevel options can provide a slightly different aesthetic and tactile feel.
Stretcher covers are metal plates that attach to the footrest of the stool. They protect the wood finish from scuffs and scratches caused by shoes, helping the stool maintain its appearance over years of heavy use.
The saddle scoop seat is contoured to follow the natural shape of the body, which helps distribute weight more evenly than a flat seat. This ergonomic design provides better support for longer periods of sitting, making it a practical choice for kitchen islands.
