Set of 2 Slat Back Swivel Bar Stools in Espresso, 30 Inch Seat Height

This listing's title gives 29 inches and misspells the word inches. Its drawing marks the seat at 30 in. The little diagram in the corner of that drawing is headed counter height but shows a 40 in to 43 in table, which is a bar height. Three sources, three different stories.

We publish 30 in, because that is the number the maker actually measured, and we describe this as a bar stool, because a 40 in to 43 in table is a bar whatever the label above it says. If your top is a 35 in to 39 in counter, the 24 in version of this stool is the one to order.

What was measured

Forty three inches to the top of the back, 30 in to the seat, a ring at 11.5 in and a 19.5 in spread at the feet. Those are the figures to plan around, whatever the title says.

Where a 30 inch seat goes

Under a top of 40 in to 43 in, which leaves 10 in to 13 in of knee room. A standard 36 in kitchen counter would leave 6 in, which is not enough to get your legs under.

The ring, at the right drop

Eleven and a half inches from the floor is 18.5 in below the seat. Published footrest guidance puts the comfortable drop for a bar stool at roughly 17 in to 19 in, so this one lands inside it.

The seat

A 16 in round PVC pad over soft sponge on a timber frame. At bar height the seat gets more use and more spills than at a counter, which is why a coated cover is the sensible choice here.

For tops of 40 in to 43 in.

Eighteen and a half inches below the seat.

On a plate under the seat.

Seven slats under a curved crest rail.

PVC leather over soft sponge.

The manufacturer's stated maximum load.

A ring at the right drop below the seat.

What we stand behind

• The 30 in seat height, the 43 in overall height, the 16 in seat, the 11.5 in footrest ring, the 19.5 in base and the 330 lb capacity all come from this listing's own drawing, which also prints the 40 in to 43 in table range.
• The listing title gives 29 inches and misspells the word inches. The web address carried the same misspelling and has been corrected.
• The diagram in the corner of the drawing is labelled counter height but shows a 40 in to 43 in table, which is a bar height. The measurement is what we publish.
• No swivel bearing type or cycle rating is published.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is the seat 29 or 30 inches?

Thirty inches on the maker's own drawing. The 29 appears only in the listing title, which also misspells the word inches.

Will they fit a kitchen counter?

No. A 30 in seat leaves 6 in of knee room under a 36 in counter. The 24 in version of this stool is the counter height one.

Why does the drawing say counter height?

The label above the small diagram is wrong: the table it shows is 40 in to 43 in, which is a bar height.

How do I clean the seat?

A damp cloth on the PVC and a barely damp one on the timber, dried afterwards.
