Set of 2 Swivel Counter Stools with Fiddle Back and Faux Leather Seat, 26 Inch Seat Height

Counter height, not bar height

The drawing pairs this stool with counters of 35 in to 39 in. Under a 36 in top the 26 in seat leaves 10 in of knee room, which is the tighter end of comfortable, so measure before you order if your counter is at the low end.

The figures on the frame

Twenty six inches to the seat, 39 in overall, 16 in across the pad and a 19 in spread at the feet. The badge reads 400 lb, which is high for a timber stool and comes from the leg splay as much as the timber.

What turns, and on what

The swivel is a steel cross plate bolted between the seat and the leg frame rather than a pin. That is the part that decides whether a wooden swivel stool still turns quietly after two years, and it is worth seeing it before you buy.

Inside the round pad

Four layers: faux leather on top, elastic foam, an MDF board to hold the disc flat and a non woven backing. The board is what keeps a round seat from dishing at the front edge where people put their weight.

For counters of 35 in to 39 in.

On a steel cross plate base.

Three splats curved through the middle.

Faux leather over elastic foam.

What we stand behind

• The 26 in seat height, the 39 in overall height, the 16 in seat, the 9 in footrest, the 19 in base and the 400 lb figure all come from this listing's own drawing.
• The listing's own title ends in 24, but the drawing marks the seat at 26 in. Twenty six inches is the figure we publish, because that is what the maker measured.
• The 400 lb capacity is a static load figure. Industry guidance is that a load rating on its own does not tell you how long a chair will last, only what it held in one test.
• No swivel bearing type or cycle rating is published for the cross plate.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is the seat 24 inches or 26 inches?

The maker's drawing marks 26 in. The 24 in the listing title is the range name rather than a measurement, so plan around 26 in.

What counter height suits it?

Thirty five to 39 in. At 36 in you get 10 in of knee room, at 38 in about 12 in.

Does the swivel lock?

No lock is described. The seat turns freely through a full circle on its steel cross plate.

How do I clean the seat?

A damp cloth on the faux leather, blotting rather than scrubbing. Keep it out of direct sun, which is what cracks a coated surface over time.
