Why this high bar stool earns its place
This is the stool most venues end up buying without much deliberation, and it's easy to see why. The turned rubber wood legs give it a proper pub-furniture silhouette rather than a flat-pack one, the red diamond-quilted fabric seat adds a bit of character to a bar run, and the metal foot rest is exactly where your regulars' heels expect it to be. It's the kind of stool that looks equally at home in a cosy country pub or a busier café counter.
Underneath the character, the construction is doing the real work. The frame is built with mortice and tenon joints rather than dowels or brackets, and every one of those joints is glued and screwed on top — the traditional way of making sure a bar stool survives being leant back on, dragged across a tiled floor and generally treated worse than any other seat in the room. Rubber wood is a dense, close-grained hardwood, so it takes that daily knock-about without the frame working loose the way softer timbers do.
Each stool stands 770mm high and 345mm wide, and comes in at 6.21kg — light enough to lift onto a table for the evening mop-round, solid enough not to feel flimsy at bar height. Because it's sold as a pack of two, you get a matching pair straight away, which matters more than people expect when stools are lined up side by side along a bar.
