Martin Stool

The Martin Stool brings the decorative back of our Martin Chair up to bar height. It is built on a European beech frame, with four inward-curving arcs between the rear posts that meet to frame a diamond-shaped opening. Tall straight legs are tied together with stretchers at two levels, including a front footrest for guests settling in at the bar.

Choose a solid wood seat for an easy-clean, traditional look, or an upholstered seat in faux leather or COM for more comfort through a long evening. The beech takes a choice of stains, from natural and maple to mahogany and ebony, so it can match existing millwork. It coordinates with the Martin Chair for a consistent look from the dining room to the bar.

Built for commercial use

The Martin Stool is built with mortise-and-tenon joinery and very few bolted connections.

It ships fully assembled from the factory and is covered by our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment.
