Liam Stool

The Liam Stool is a fully upholstered stool on a slim steel frame. A softly shaped upholstered shell forms the seat and back in one continuous piece, and a slender metal pull bar runs across the top of the back, a practical detail that makes the stool easy to move and adds a refined accent. Four thin steel legs with a footrest keep the base light and modern.

The upholstered shell gives guests real comfort at the bar or counter, and the minimal frame lets the upholstery color lead. Shown in a light fabric on a black frame, the Liam can lean soft and contemporary or go bold with velvet or leather. It is available at bar and counter heights.

Built for commercial use

The Liam has a welded steel frame rather than bolted connections. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and is backed by 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.
