Frankton Bar Stool

The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches high. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 9 to 12 inches of legroom.

The stationary base provides a firm, fixed position ideal for minimalist spaces or households with small children. The swivel base offers 360-degree rotation, making it easier to get in and out of the stool and facilitating conversation in open-concept kitchen areas.

For busy kitchens, faux leather is the most practical choice because it is moisture-resistant and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. If you prefer a softer feel, microfiber is also highly durable and generally easier to spot-clean than premium fabrics.

Different wood species have unique grain patterns and color absorption properties. For example, Red Oak features a prominent, open grain that shows texture, while Brown Maple has a smoother, tighter grain that takes stain very evenly, making it a popular choice for darker finishes.

No, the stretcher covers serve a functional purpose by protecting the wood footrest from scuffs and wear caused by shoes. They add a layer of durability to the stool, ensuring the finish remains intact even with daily use.

To ensure guests have enough elbow room, we recommend spacing the centers of your stools at least 26 to 30 inches apart. This allows for comfortable movement and prevents the stools from feeling crowded when placed side-by-side.
