Know before you buy

The stool arrives partially assembled, but you will need to attach the legs and backrest. All necessary hardware is included, and the process typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Yes, the integrated footrest is finished in antique brass and is designed to provide sturdy support. It also serves to protect the wood frame from scuffs caused by shoes.
Yes, the stool comes with protective furniture glides on the base. These are designed to prevent scratching or marring on hardwood, tile, and laminate surfaces.
The seat height is 30.5 inches. This is a standard bar height, which is typically best paired with bar counters that measure between 40 and 42 inches from the floor to the top of the surface.
