Bowery Stool

The Bowery Stool brings the supper-club look of our Bowery Chair up to bar and counter height. It has the same curved, fully upholstered back band and the same solid wood arms that sweep down into the front legs, so guests get the comfort of a real dining chair while they sit at the bar. The open back keeps a long run of stools from feeling heavy.

Each stool is built from American walnut, American white oak, North American ash or European beech and upholstered in leather, faux leather, fabric or your own material. A metal foot rest, in brushed stainless steel as standard or brushed brass as an upgrade, protects the front stretcher from wear and adds a warm detail at the bar. In real leather, the Bowery breaks in over time and develops the rich patina of heirloom furniture.

Design details

• Curved barrel-style back band, fully upholstered front and back so the stool looks finished from behind as guests walk past
• Solid wood arms that flow into the front legs and make it easy to get on and off the stool
• Wide 22.5" x 20.5" upholstered seat, roomy enough for a full meal at the bar
• Brushed stainless steel foot rest standard, with brushed brass available
• Offered in bar height and counter height, with matching dining chairs for a consistent look across the room

Built for commercial use

The Bowery Stool is made for the heavy daily use of hotel and restaurant bars. The solid hardwood frame is joined with mortise-and-tenon construction and very few bolted connections, so it stays tight through years of service. It is tested to 400 lbs and to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. Each stool ships fully assembled from our factory and is covered by a 3-year frame warranty. Each stool comes standard with heavy-duty nail-on nylon glides, suitable for most commercial floor types, including hardwood, tile, stone, concrete and carpet. It also comes standard with a stainless steel foot rest cover, available as an option in brushed brass or black brass.
