Product Insights
This counter chair balances mid-century construction with modern engineering: a moulded wood shell (layered veneers, comparable to Eames and Saarinen chairs) supports 300 lb despite weighing only 15 lb. Splayed legs widen the base to 20–22 in for stability, with a steel swivel bearing that lowers the center of gravity to improve balance. Semi-firm 1.8 lbs/ft³ foam cushions the 16–16.25 in seat depth, and the swivel mechanism is user-serviceable with a universal $15–30 part. Care requires only a damp cloth for faux leather and periodic dusting and polish for walnut veneer, avoiding moisture and sunlight.
Verified claims
- Splayed legs
- The exact base footprint is not specified; the splayed legs are estimated to widen the base to roughly 20–22 in. No anti-tip features are listed.
- Swivel mechanism
- The central swivel bearing adds concentrated mass directly beneath the seat, lowering the center of gravity and improving stability.
- Assembly requirement
- Assembly is required, and smooth swivel rotation depends on correctly tightening the swivel-plate bolts during setup.
- Repairability
- Wobbly swivel can be replaced with a $15–30 universal part.
- Foam density
- The cushion is semi-firm polyester foam; the manufacturer does not specify exact density, but semi-firm foam typically corresponds to about 1.8 lbs/ft³.
- Faux leather care
- Clean faux leather with a soft damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasives.
- Walnut veneer care
- Dust walnut veneer with a soft dry cloth and periodically use furniture polish; avoid sunlight and moisture.
- Structural care
- The moulded wood shell resists wobble, and the 15 lb weight makes the stool easy to reposition.
- Seat depth
- Usable seat depth estimated at 16–16.25 inches
- Strength
- Moulded-wood shell supports 300 lb and resists flexing and joint loosening.
- Weight
- Exceptionally light 15 lb stool holds 300 lb — efficient engineering.
- Leg design
- Legs splay outward at an estimated 5–10°, a hallmark of mid-century moulded-shell stools.
- Construction
- Moulded wood shell uses layered veneers, the same structural principle as classic Eames and Saarinen chairs.
- Overall footprint
- The stool's overall footprint is 18 in wide by 19 in deep.
