Smith Upholstered Stool

The Smith Upholstered Stool pairs an upholstered back and seat with the Smith family's warm wood frame. A cushioned back panel with rounded corners is carried on slim metal uprights, the padded seat sits below, and four tapered wood legs are joined by a metal footrest. Metal comes in black or brushed brass.

It offers more comfort than the wood-back Smith stool while keeping a light, open look along the bar. A saturated fabric makes it a lively accent at a cafe counter, and leather gives it a classic finish in a steakhouse or hotel bar. Pair it with the Smith Upholstered Side Chair and the Smith Upholstered Stool with Arms for a coordinated room.

Built for commercial use

The Smith Upholstered Stool is built with mortise-and-tenon joinery and very few bolted connections, the way almost all of our wood seating is made. 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. It also comes standard with a stainless steel foot rest cover, available as an option in brushed brass or black brass.
