Set of 4 Stackable Metal Bar Stools in Black with Removable Backs, 30 Inch Seat

A set of four bar stools is bought for the times the house is full and stored for the rest of the year. Four fixed stools with backs take up roughly a square metre of floor whichever corner you push them into, which is why spare seating so often ends up in a garage.

The backrests are held by two screws each and lift off, turning the chairs into backless stools that nest inside one another. Protective pads between them stop the stack scratching itself, and a cut out handle in each seat means you carry them one handed.

With the backs on

Assembled, these read as classic industrial chairs: a curved tube back, a pressed seat and four splayed legs. At 46 in overall they are as tall as a dining chair pulled up to a bar.

Thirty inches, and the top it needs

The drawing pairs the 30 in seat with tables of 40 in to 43 in, which gives 10 in to 13 in of knee room. Under a 36 in kitchen counter it would be far too tall, so this is a bar stool rather than a counter stool.

Stacked, and what stops the marks

Metal on metal marks, so the maker fits pads where the stools touch when they nest. That detail is the difference between a stack you are happy to take apart and one that comes out of storage scratched.

Three details on the seat

The corners are rolled rather than cut, the seat has a slot in it to lift by, and the coating is smooth enough to wipe. On a stool you carry and stack, the handle is the one you notice first.

What we stand behind

• The 30 in seat height, the 46 in overall height, the 18 in by 17 in backrest, the 11 in footrest, the 20.5 in by 16.5 in base and the 330 lb capacity all come from this listing's own drawing, which also prints the 40 in to 43 in table range.
• The seat is bare coated metal with no padding. It wipes clean and takes weather on a covered patio, but it is firmer than any upholstered stool here.
• The maker does not publish a stack height or a maximum number of stools per stack.
• The record's colour field reads Gun and Black together. This page is the black version.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Do the backs really come off?

Yes. Two screws hold each backrest. With them removed the stools are backless and nest inside one another.

What table height suits them?

Forty to 43 in, printed on the drawing. A 30 in seat under a 42 in bar leaves 12 in of knee room.

Are the seats padded?

No. They are pressed coated metal, which is what lets them stack and what makes them easy to wipe.

Can they go outside?

They are photographed on a covered porch. The frame is coated metal, so dry them after rain and store them indoors over winter.
