Know before you buy
The standard 360-degree swivel allows for full rotation in any direction. The memory swivel is designed to automatically return the seat to its original forward-facing position once you stand up, keeping your kitchen or bar area looking tidy.
A 24-inch stool is typically ideal for standard kitchen counters measuring 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is better suited for bar-height surfaces, which are usually around 42 inches high.
While all options are high-quality hardwoods, they vary in grain pattern and hardness. For example, Hard Maple and Hickory are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents, while woods like Brown Maple offer a smoother, more uniform grain that takes stains very evenly.
Yes, the Sheldon Bar Stool offers personalizable seat upholstery options. You can select from a variety of materials to ensure the stool complements your existing interior design and comfort requirements.
Stretcher covers are metal plates that attach to the footrest area of the stool. They protect the wood finish from wear and tear caused by shoes, making them a practical choice for high-traffic areas.
As a handcrafted Amish piece, these stools are typically shipped with care to ensure stability. Please check your specific order details upon checkout, as some components may require minor assembly depending on the shipping method selected.
