Set of 2 Bar Height Swivel Stools with Fiddle Back and Faux Leather Seat, 30 Inch Seat

The listing this page is built from is titled as a counter height stool. Its own drawing marks the seat at 30 in and labels the fitting table height 40 in to 43 in, which is a bar. A 30 in seat under a 36 in kitchen counter leaves 6 in of knee room and is unusable.

We publish the drawing figure, 30 in, and describe this as a bar stool, because that is what the maker measured. If your top is a 35 in to 39 in counter, the shorter version of this same stool with a 26 in seat is the one to order.

Thirty inches, and what it needs

At 30 in the seat wants a top of 40 in to 43 in, which gives 10 in to 13 in of knee room. That is a home bar, a raised island ledge or a pub table, not a standard 36 in kitchen counter.

The maker's own numbers

Forty four inches overall, 30 in to the seat and a ring at 13.5 in. The inset in the corner of the drawing reads bar height 40 in to 43 in in the maker's own words, which is the clearest statement on the listing.

The base it turns on

A steel cross plate sits between the seat and the leg frame. On a tall stool that plate also spreads the load, because a 30 in seat puts more leverage on the joint every time someone swings round.

Rubber wood, and why it is used

Rubber wood is the timber left after a plantation tree stops producing latex. It is dense enough for furniture, takes a dark stain evenly and is the reason a stool at this price is solid timber rather than veneer over board.

Bar height, fixed, not adjustable.

Lifted to match the taller seat.

On a steel cross plate base.

Three splats curved through the middle.

Faux leather over elastic foam.

The manufacturer's stated maximum load.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Forty to 43 in tops.

The second tier of a two level island.

Tall round tops where people turn to talk.

What we stand behind

• The 30 in seat height, the 44 in overall height, the 13.5 in footrest, the 19 in base and the 400 lb figure all come from this listing's own drawing, which also prints the 40 in to 43 in table range.
• The listing's own title calls this a counter height stool and ends in 29. Both are wrong against the drawing: the seat is 30 in and the maker's inset says bar height. We publish the drawing.
• The 400 lb capacity is a static load figure. Industry guidance is that a load rating on its own does not indicate how long a chair will last.
• 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.

Will this fit a 36 inch kitchen counter?

No. A 30 in seat leaves 6 in of knee room under a 36 in counter. Choose the 26 in version of this stool for a counter.

Is the seat 29 inches or 30 inches?

The drawing marks 30 in. The 29 in the listing title is the range name, not a measurement.

Why is the footrest higher on this one?

Because the seat is. The ring sits 16.5 in below the seat, which is where your feet want it on a stool this tall.

How do I clean the seat?

A damp cloth on the faux leather. Blot spills rather than scrubbing and keep the stool out of direct sun.
