American Chair Collection Ellison Mission Bar Stool

The 24-inch stool is designed for standard kitchen counters, which are typically 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, usually measuring 42 inches from the floor.

The optional fabric or leather seats include a 2-inch foam cushion, which provides significantly more padding for extended sitting. The solid wood seat offers a classic, firm feel that is easier to wipe clean and maintain.

Hardwoods like Hickory, Quarter Sawn White Oak, and Hard Maple are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents and scratches. These are excellent choices if you expect heavy daily use.

While the stool is structurally sound without it, a footrest provides extra comfort and support, especially for shorter individuals or when sitting for longer periods. It also helps protect the front legs from wear caused by shoes.

The finish packages allow you to control both the aesthetic and durability of the stool. Conversion varnish provides a protective, moisture-resistant seal, while distressing options add a worn, rustic character to the wood surface.

To ensure guests have enough elbow room, we recommend leaving at least 24 to 30 inches of space between the centers of each stool. This prevents the stools from feeling crowded when placed side-by-side at a counter.
