Set of 2 Bar Height Stools with Curved Backs and Faux Leather Seats in Oak, 29.5 Inch

Where the height belongs

Forty to 43 in tops, the range the maker gives. A 29.5 in seat under a 42 in pub table leaves 12.5 in of knee room, which is the comfortable band, and it is why these are photographed at a tall round table rather than a kitchen island.

The figures

Sixteen inches square at the seat, 29.5 in up, 42 in to the top of the back and a 20 in by 13.5 in footprint. The badge reads 330 lb, which is solid for a timber stool of this weight.

Where the strength is

The legs are tied with an H brace rather than a simple stretcher, and the footrest is part of that frame. On a stool this tall the brace is what stops the legs racking sideways when someone leans back.

The seat, close up

Faux leather over soft sponge, in a plain black that sits under the timber rather than competing with it. A coated cover at a bar is the practical choice, because a bar is where drinks get spilled.

What we stand behind

• The 16 in seat, the 29.5 in seat height, the 42 in overall height, the 10.5 in footrest, the 20 in by 13.5 in base and the 330 lb capacity all come from this listing's own drawing.
• The maker's copy names 40 in to 43 in tables, which matches the 29.5 in seat height and confirms this as a bar stool rather than a counter stool.
• The listing's title names the colour as oak. The item code carries a grey reference, and the photographs show a greyed oak finish, so both are described here.
• No net weight, carton size or assembly time is published.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is this counter height or bar height?

Bar height. A 29.5 in seat suits tops of 40 in to 43 in, which the maker states. For a 36 in kitchen counter you want a 24 in to 26 in seat.

Is the frame oak?

It is rubber wood in a greyed oak finish. The listing calls the colour oak; the timber underneath is rubber wood.

What holds the legs together?

An H shaped brace between the legs, with the footrest built into it at 10.5 in from the floor.

How do I clean the seat?

A damp cloth on the faux leather. Blot spills rather than scrubbing and wipe the timber with a barely damp cloth.
