Product Insights
The Paperclip70 Counter Stool is a limited-edition revival of Amisco's own 1969 K700 stool, which appeared in the original Star Trek series. It features a fully welded steel frame that eliminates wobble and sharp edges, enabling a smooth powder coating resistant to chips and rust, and supports 300 lbs backed by a 10-year residential warranty. Available in eight colors, four exclusive to this model, the stool has a durable all-steel seat that trades cushion comfort for wipe-clean longevity. At $250 CAD, it costs less than Amisco's comparable Nathan stool. The metal leg ends can scratch floors, requiring floor protectors, and care requires mild soap and soft cloth. The compact 17-inch base fits under standard counters and the lightweight stool is portable yet stable.

Amisco brand quality and customization praised
I would suggest Amisco. You can find them online (i.e. Home Depot sells them: this is the Derek https://www.homedepot.com/p/Amisco-Derek-26-in-Light-Grey-Polyurethane-Dark-Brown-Metal-Swivel-Counter-Stool-41443-26-75EV/311790879#overlay). They have tons of styles and if you find a furniture store near you that carries the line, you can customize both the metal finish and fabric/faux leather seat. Downside to customizing is they're all made to order in Canada so expect 8-10 weeks. However - if they have them stocked online at HD or something thats even better! Quality is great: sturdy steel bases, comfy cushions and stylish. 10 year warranty and they do contract so their pieces are made to last. I have the Ethan and they are great.
