Know before you buy
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard kitchen counters, which are typically 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, usually measuring 42 inches from the floor.
The stationary base is fixed in place, while the 360-degree swivel allows for full rotation. The memory swivel base rotates 360 degrees but includes a mechanism that automatically returns the seat to its original forward-facing position when not in use.
Yes, we offer a variety of performance-grade materials including Revolution fabrics, Easy Living, and genuine Ultraleather, all of which are selected for their durability and ease of cleaning. You can choose the material that best balances your aesthetic preferences with the demands of your household.
The saddle scoop seat is ergonomically contoured to follow the natural shape of the body, which helps distribute weight more evenly. This design provides significantly better support and comfort for extended periods of sitting compared to a traditional flat seat.
Absolutely. Because each stool is handcrafted to order, you can select from a wide range of wood species—such as Red Oak, Cherry, or Walnut—and pair them with a stain that complements your current decor. We recommend ordering wood samples if you are trying to match a specific finish in your home.
Stretcher covers are metal plates that attach to the footrest of the stool. They protect the wood from scuffs and wear caused by shoes, keeping the stool looking new for much longer.
