Schoolhouse Bar Stool with Wood Seat

The Schoolhouse Bar Stool with Wood Seat is a simple, backless stool with the honest, utilitarian look of a workshop or lab stool. Four straight tubular steel legs, braced by footrest rails on all four sides, carry a square wood veneer seat, a compact form that tucks fully under a bar or counter when not in use.

Its plain geometry makes it an easy companion to almost any interior. In a brushed metal finish it reads industrial and pairs naturally with reclaimed wood and concrete; in a bright powder coat it becomes a playful accent along a cafe counter. The wood veneer seat adds warmth and a comfortable touch where guests sit.
