Set of 2 Swivel Bar Stools with Floating Curved Backs in Black, 30 Inch Seat Height

Why the gap matters

Leaving daylight between the seat and the back makes a tall stool look lighter than it is. In a small kitchen four of these block far less of the view across the room than four solid backs would.

The figures

Fifteen and a half inches across the seat, 3 in of cushion, 30 in up and a ring at 12 in. The maker names 40 in to 43 in tables, which leaves 10 in to 13 in of knee room.

A small back, placed well

The rest is only 11.5 in wide and sits low behind you. On a bar stool that is enough to stop you tipping back without adding the bulk of a full chair back, which is the compromise this shape is making.

What holds it up

A welded frame, a support rod under the seat and threaded pads on the leg ends. The rod is the part that matters: it braces the swivel plate so the seat does not rock as it turns.

For bar tables of 40 in to 43 in.

On two steel arms above the seat.

On a plate under the seat.

Waterproof PU over 3 in of sponge.

A full circle around the legs.

The manufacturer's stated maximum load.

What we stand behind

• The 15.5 in seat, the 3 in cushion, the 30 in seat height, the 40.5 in overall height, the 12 in footrest ring, the 16 in by 18 in base and the 330 lb capacity all come from this listing's own drawing, which also prints the 40 in to 43 in bar height.
• The backrest is 11.5 in wide and floats above the seat on two arms. It is a rest to lean against rather than a full chair back.
• The ring sits 18 in below the seat, which is inside the drop published guidance recommends for a bar height stool.
• No swivel bearing type or cycle rating is published, and no net weight is given.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What table height suits them?

Forty to 43 in, on the maker's own drawing. A 30 in seat under a 42 in bar leaves 12 in of knee room.

Is the floating back comfortable?

It is 11.5 in wide and sits low behind you, so it stops you tipping back rather than supporting your shoulders. For a full back, choose a stool with a solid backrest.

Does the swivel lock?

No lock is described. The seat turns freely through a full circle.

How do I clean the seat?

A damp cloth on the PU, which the maker describes as waterproof and scratch resistant. Blot spills rather than scrubbing.
