The Belgium Stool with Upholstered Seat takes the clean, backless Belgium frame and tops it with a padded round seat. Four flat steel legs splay outward for stability, and low stretchers on every side double as footrests, giving the stool a crisp, utilitarian look softened by the cushioned top.
The upholstered seat makes it more comfortable for longer stays at the bar, and the frame can be powder coated in a wide range of colors to match or contrast the fabric. Its compact, backless shape tucks under bars and keeps sight lines open across the room. For a wood-seat version, see the Belgium Stool.
The steel frame is welded, not bolted. The stool is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and the foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and carries a 3-year frame structural warranty and a 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment. Each stool comes standard with heavy-duty nylon glides, suitable for most commercial floor types, including hardwood, tile, stone, concrete and carpet.
About 24" per seat is a comfortable target along a bar. See our bar vs. counter stool height guide and bar stool spacing guide.
