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 option includes a mechanism that automatically returns the seat to its original forward-facing position after you stand up, keeping your space looking tidy.
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically 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 about 10 to 12 inches of legroom.
Stretcher covers serve both purposes. They add a refined aesthetic detail to the wood frame, but more importantly, they protect the footrest area from scuffs, scratches, and wear caused by shoes over time.
Yes, you can choose from wood, faux leather, microfiber, or premium fabric seats. You can also select specific tack sizes and colors to coordinate with other hardware or metallic accents in your kitchen or bar area.
With a seat width of 21 inches, we recommend allowing at least 26 to 30 inches of space from the center of one stool to the center of the next. This ensures guests have enough elbow room and can easily get in and out of their seats.
The backrest measures 21 inches from the seat, providing substantial support for the mid-to-upper back. This height is designed to offer a balance between ergonomic comfort and a sleek, unobtrusive profile.
