Set of 2 Backless Gas Lift Bar Stools in Black Fabric with D Shaped Footrest, 23.5 to 32 Inch

A circular footrest is the same shape all the way round, so there is no natural place to put your feet. People end up with one heel hooked on a curve, which is why legs go numb on a tall stool long before the conversation is over.

This one uses a D: a straight bar across the front of the ring, at the point your heels reach for. Both feet land on a flat edge at the same height, which is the difference between resting your legs and balancing them.

Fabric, not leather look

Almost every column stool at this price uses a coated cover. This one uses a woven fabric, which breathes rather than sticking to you in a warm kitchen and takes the light softly instead of shining.

The measurements

Twenty three and a half inches wound down, 32 in wound up, and a footrest that travels 7 in to 15.5 in with it. The drawing gives the fitting table range as 34 in to 42 in, which starts lower than most stools here.

The three parts

The D bar, the weighted base with its rubber ring, and an SGS certified cartridge. SGS certification means a third party laboratory tested the rod, though no cylinder class or cycle count is published alongside it.

Eight and a half inches apart

The maker photographs the same pair at both ends of the range. At 23.5 in the seat suits a low counter; at 32 in it reaches a 42 in bar, and the lever under the seat moves between them in one motion.

Eight and a half inches of gas lift travel.

A flat bar across the front.

Woven, over high density sponge.

On the same column as the lift.

Fifteen inches with a rubber ring.

The manufacturer's stated maximum load.

What we stand behind

• The 14 in seat, the 23.5 in to 32 in seat travel, the 7 in to 15.5 in footrest, the 15 in base and the 330 lb capacity all come from this listing's own drawing, which also prints the 34 in to 42 in table range.
• The cover is a woven fabric rather than a coated one. It breathes, but it also absorbs a spill, so blot rather than wipe.
• The maker describes the gas rod as SGS certified. That means a laboratory tested it; no cylinder class or cycle count is published.
• No rub count or cleaning code is published for the fabric.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What is a D shaped footrest?

A ring with a straight bar across the front. Both heels land on the flat edge at the same height instead of hunting for a point on a curve.

What tops do they suit?

Thirty four to 42 in on the drawing, which starts lower than most adjustable stools and covers a low counter through to a bar.

How do I clean a fabric seat?

Vacuum the weave and blot spills with a barely damp cloth. Do not soak it, and avoid solvents since no cleaning code is published.

Does the footrest move with the seat?

Yes. It travels 7 in to 15.5 in as the column rises.
