Gage Stool with Upholstered Seat

The Gage Stool with Upholstered Seat adds comfort to one of our lightest-looking backless stools. A thin upholstered cushion sits on the contoured wood veneer seat, leaving a crisp edge of wood visible underneath, and the slender steel rod frame drops to sled-style runners with a single footrest bar. The layered seat gives the minimalist form a more finished, tailored look.

The cushion makes it a better fit for full-service bars and high-top dining where guests stay a while, while the compact, backless frame still tucks fully under the top. Choose stainless steel or powder coated steel for the frame and mix wood and upholstery colors to suit the room. It comes in bar and counter heights.

• Slender steel rod frame with sled-style runners and footrest bar
• Stainless steel or powder coated steel frame

Built for commercial use

The steel frame is welded, not bolted, so it stays tight and quiet through years of bar service. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards. The foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and is backed by our 3-year frame structural warranty and 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.
