Set of 2 Walnut Swivel Counter Stools with Curved Low Back, 24.5 Inch Seat Height, 350 lb

Cheap swivel stools run on a plastic bush. After a winter of daily use it dries out, and turning to reach the kettle becomes a squeak everyone in the room hears.

The seat here turns on a steel swivel plate bolted across the frame, which the manufacturer describes as smooth and noise free. The photograph shows the plate itself, so you can see what you are buying.

Narrow tables too

The seat is 15 in wide and 16.5 in deep, so a pair fits along a narrow console bar without the backs clashing. The stool is 31 in overall, which keeps the backs below most bar tops.

The measurements

Twenty four and a half inches to the seat against a 35 in to 39 in counter. Two footrest heights at 5.5 in and 6.5 in, and 350 lb printed as the capacity of each chair.

What turns and what does not

Only the seat moves. The legs, the footrest rails and the pads stay put, which is why the stool does not creep across the floor when somebody spins round on it.

For counters of 35 in to 39 in.

What we stand behind

• The 24.5 in seat height, the 31 in overall height, the footrest heights and the 350 lb figure come from this listing's own drawing.
• The title says 24.5 inch and the drawing agrees.
• The same supplier text is used for the black and white versions of this stool, where the phrase walnut finish does not apply. Here it does.
• The 350 lb rating is the manufacturer's stated maximum load, from a rig test.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What counter height suits 24.5 inches?

The drawing marks 35 in to 39 in. Under a 36 in counter you get 11.5 in of knee room.

Is the seat solid timber?

It is a shaped bent wood shell, curved through the seat and up into the back, on solid rubber wood legs.

Why two footrest rails?

At 5.5 in and 6.5 in they give shorter and taller people somewhere different to put a foot. Most stools offer one height.

Will it mark my floor?

Each leg ends in an adjustable footpad rather than bare timber, so the wood never touches the floor.
