Ralph Stool

The Ralph Stool brings the classic bistro look of the Ralph Chair to bar height. A wide, gently curved panel back sits between square back posts, and the padded seat rests inside a European beech frame that is braced with stretchers and a set of foot rails at a comfortable height for the feet.

Shown in a dark walnut-toned stain with a deep red seat, the Ralph Stool has a warm, traditional character that suits pubs, grills and hotel bars. Choose from nine stains and a broad range of faux leathers, and pair it with the Ralph Chair with Upholstered Seat to carry the same look from the dining room to the bar.

Built for commercial use

The Ralph Stool is built in solid European beech with mortise-and-tenon joinery and very few 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 carries a 3-year frame structural warranty and a 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.
