Know before you buy
The 24" stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36" high. The 30" stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually around 42" high. Measure the distance from your floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 10 inches of legroom.
The stationary model offers a fixed position, which is ideal if you prefer a clean, minimalist look or want to prevent the stool from rotating. The swivel model provides 360-degree rotation, making it easier to get in and out of the seat, especially in tighter kitchen or bar areas.
All available hardwoods—Oak, Maple, Cherry, Hickory, and Walnut—are selected for their strength and longevity. While they all offer excellent durability, they differ in grain pattern and hardness; for example, Hickory is exceptionally dense and shock-resistant, while Maple offers a smooth, uniform grain.
Stains interact differently with each wood species due to their unique natural colors and grain densities. We recommend viewing samples of your chosen stain on your specific wood type to see how the finish highlights the natural character of the grain.
These stools are built using traditional joinery techniques that prioritize structural integrity over speed. Each piece is handcrafted in the U.S. using solid hardwoods rather than veneers or particle board, ensuring a sturdier build designed to last for generations.
