This stool height is hard to find yet perfectly sized for standard height countertops. The 26" makes it easy to lounge, eat at the counter and get in and out of the seat. Each piece is made by hand paying special attention to the rounded curves, threading and metal nailheads. The seat fabric is a blend of canvas and linen material that results in soft comfort and durability. The feel of the seat can't be understated; the experience is so relaxing. This design marries traditional detail with contemporary design in its tufted upholstery work and antiqued brass nailheads while the soft lines give this barstool a contemporary feel.
