Set of 2 Bar Height Swivel Stools with Ladder Back and Wrap Around Footrest, 30 Inch Seat

On a bar stool your feet never reach the ground, so the footrest is doing the job the floor does on every other chair. Put it too low and your legs hang, put it too high and your knees come up. Either way you shift about and give up on the stool after twenty minutes.

The drawing puts the seat at 30 in and the ring at 13.5 in, a gap of 16.5 in. Published guidance on footrests puts the comfortable drop for a bar height stool at roughly 17 in to 19 in below the seat, so this sits just inside that, and because it is a ring rather than a bar it is there at any angle you turn to.

Where a 30 inch seat belongs

Forty to 43 in tops. That is a home bar, a raised ledge on a two level island or a pub table. A 36 in kitchen counter is 6 in too low for this stool and the shorter 26 in version is the one for that.

Read the inset, not the title

The corner of the drawing carries the maker's own label: bar height, 40 in to 43 in. That is the clearest statement of what this stool is for anywhere on the listing, and it disagrees with the words in the listing title.

Turning at height

The seat turns a full circle on a plate under the pad. On a 44 in stool that plate carries more leverage than it does on a counter stool, so it is the joint worth looking at in the photographs before you buy.

The two details that matter

The top rail is curved rather than straight, so it meets your shoulders instead of cutting across them, and the footrest is a closed ring. Those are the two parts you touch on a stool this tall.

Bar height, fixed, not adjustable.

Sixteen and a half inches below the seat.

On a plate under the seat.

Shaped to meet your shoulders.

Faux leather over 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.

Tops between 40 in and 43 in.

The raised ledge, not the working side.

A ring footrest at the right drop.

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 bar height 40 in to 43 in.
• The listing's own title calls this a counter height stool and ends in 29. The drawing gives 30 in and labels it bar height, and the drawing is what we publish.
• One of the maker's photographs shows four of these stools. This listing sells a set of two.
• The 400 lb capacity is a static load figure. Industry guidance is that a load rating alone does not indicate the life or strength of a chair in use.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Will these work at a 36 inch counter?

No. A 30 in seat leaves 6 in of knee room there. The 26 in version of this same stool is the counter height one.

Is the seat 29 inches or 30 inches?

Thirty inches on the drawing. The 29 in the listing title is a range name rather than a measurement.

Why does one photograph show four stools?

The maker reuses photographs between the two pack and the four pack. This listing is a set of two.

Do the stools arrive assembled?

The legs, seat and back come to be bolted together. No assembly time is published, so we do not quote one.
