Niro Stool

The Niro Stool carries the soft, sculpted shell of the Niro Chair up to bar and counter height. A curved upholstered back wraps around into the seat for a cradling, lounge-like sit, and the shell rests on four solid wood legs joined by stretchers. The front footrest is fitted with a brushed stainless cover, or brushed brass if you prefer a warmer accent, which protects the wood where shoes land most.

Available in both bar and counter heights, the Niro Stool lets you carry one look from the bar top to a kitchen-style counter or chef's table. Upholster it in leather, faux leather, fabric or COM, and choose from a range of solid woods and stains. It pairs naturally with the Niro Chair in the dining room for a cohesive steakhouse or lobby lounge scheme.

Built for commercial use

The solid wood frame uses mortise-and-tenon joinery with very few bolted connections, so it stays tight through years of service and develops the patina of heirloom furniture over time. The Niro Stool 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 and carries our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment. 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.
