Why this high bar stool earns its place
The Wessex high stool brings character and durability to commercial bar and counter settings. Crafted from solid rubber wood in a weathered oak finish, each stool has the warmth of timber without the fussiness — it fits vintage-styled venues and contemporary spaces equally well. The frame is built around heavy-duty mortice-and-tenon joints, the gold standard for load-bearing wooden furniture, so these stools absorb the knocks and slides of a working bar without creaking or coming loose.
The seat is generous and deeply padded, upholstered in Bison Tan vinyl in a rich midnight blue — the padding genuinely cushions, and the vinyl wipes clean in seconds, a real win in hospitality where spilled drinks and scuffs are daily life. At 760 mm high, these are true bar-height stools that tuck under a standard 900 mm counter, making them ideal for breakfast bars, pub seating, and high-pass kitchen counters. Each stool weighs 8 kg and comes fully assembled, so they're ready to use straight from the box.
Fire safety is built in: both stools conform to CRIB 5 regulations, meeting the standards required for commercial hospitality use. The wood finish and vinyl upholstery are chosen specifically for busy environments, shedding the stresses of a pub or restaurant without requiring specialist care. With a 1-year warranty backing the build quality, you're buying known durability.
