Kolvern Gelso Swivel Counter Stool

A swivel counter stool in antique-black rubberwood with a beige polyester seat, 42.32 inches high. Sold as one stool.

The carton holds one stool, not two. It is listed at 42.32 inches high, 19.29 inches wide, and 21.65 inches deep, so tape that rectangle against your counter overhang before you order.

• A double-X lattice back

  The chair back is cut into two stacked X shapes between a pair of vertical posts, capped with a top rail that curves slightly for the shoulders. It reads as a classic dining-chair silhouette carried up onto a tall stool, rather than a plain slatted back.

• Distressed black wood finish

  The frame is finished in a worn black that lets streaks of the natural wood grain show through, so no two stools look perfectly identical. Four legs run straight down at a slight taper and meet a square stretcher near the floor that doubles as a footrest.

• Assembly required, one person

  This stool arrives with the back, seat and legs needing to be joined at home; the maker suggests one person can handle it. You will need your own screwdriver, since it is not included with the hardware in the box. Avoid power tools so you do not overtighten and split the wood.

• Clean with a soft cloth

  Wipe the wood frame down with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth to keep the finish even; skip soaking it, since standing water can cloud the distressed black stain. Blot the fabric seat instead of scrubbing if something spills, and let it air dry before anyone sits back down.

• Cushioned seat that swivels

  The seat is a padded cushion, not a hard wood plank, upholstered in woven fabric for a bit of give. It swivels a full turn on its base so you can angle toward the counter or turn to talk, and the built-in footrest gives your feet a place to land instead of hanging free.

• Rubberwood frame, polyester seat

  The frame combines solid and manufactured rubberwood, not a softer particleboard, under that black distressed finish. The seat cushion is upholstered in polyester fabric rather than any leather or vinyl, woven with enough texture to hide light everyday wear.

• Counter height, not bar

  This is a counter-height stool, not a bar stool, so it belongs at a standard kitchen counter or island rather than a taller bar-height ledge. Seat height measures 25.78 inches off the floor, and the stool stands 42.32 inches overall, so check your counter before ordering.

• Weight capacity is 250 pounds

  Weight capacity on this stool is listed at 250 pounds. That number is lower than some bar stools carry, so it is worth knowing before this becomes the everyday seat for a heavier household member. The stool itself is light, at 27.06 pounds, so one person can reposition it easily.

• One stool, no warranty

  You get one counter stool, fully finished, not a pair or a set. It arrives with most of the frame built, the seat and legs ready to attach, and the hardware included in the box, though you supply your own screwdriver. This stool carries no manufacturer's warranty.
