The You Stool with Wood Seat is a lean, backless bar, counter and dining stool that pairs a slim welded steel frame with a gently dished wood veneer seat. Four straight, slightly splayed legs rise to a soft saddle-shaped seat with rounded corners, and a pair of square stretchers runs low between the legs, giving guests a footrest without adding visual weight. The result is light, airy and modern, a stool that lets a bar front or kitchen-style counter take center stage.
The frame is offered in black or white powder coat, polished stainless steel or brushed brass, so the same silhouette can read crisp and graphic in black, clean and bright in white, or warm and refined in brass against the natural wood seat. Its compact footprint makes it a smart choice for tight counter runs, coffee bars and hotel lobby bars where you want plenty of seats without a heavy look.
The steel frame is welded rather than bolted, so there are no connections to loosen with daily use. The You Stool with Wood Seat is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards. It ships fully assembled from the factory and is covered by our 3-year frame structural warranty and 1-year finish warranty from shipment. Each stool comes standard with heavy-duty nylon glides, suitable for most commercial floor types, including hardwood, tile, stone, concrete and carpet.
