Maris Stool

The Maris Stool is a bar and counter stool from our Al Fresco line, built on a powder-coated cast aluminum frame with woven rope detailing. A low, curved back rail wrapped in rope arcs around the seat and turns into short arms, so guests get support without the stool looking heavy at the bar. The open frame, straight legs and perimeter footrest keep the lines clean and architectural.

An upholstered seat cushion, with optional quick dry foam, sits within the frame for comfortable outdoor service. The light, crisp combination shown here suits coastal and rooftop bars, while darker frame finishes give it a sharper, more urban look. It is available in both bar and counter heights, so you can run it along an outdoor bar and a counter-height dining ledge on the same project.

Built for commercial use

Our metal frames are welded rather than bolted, and the Maris is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards. The foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. As part of our Al Fresco line it is UV-resistant for year-round outdoor use. It ships fully assembled and is covered by our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment.
