Why this high bar stool earns its place
The Hanoi is a deep-seat bar chair built for commercial spaces, and the deep seat is the detail worth noting first — this isn't a perch stool, it's designed to actually hold someone comfortably at height. The back is chic and rounded rather than a plain upright bar, and the whole thing is finished in a dark walnut tone that reads as considered rather than budget.
The seat is padded and faux leather, giving the feel of genuine leather while offering an easy-wipe surface — the manufacturer is specific that it's built for wipeable maintenance, which matters at a bar where spills happen mid-service. It also carries a CRIB 5 fire-retardant rating, the standard that matters when a venue needs its seating signed off as compliant for public use rather than just good-looking.
At 1175mm high on a 410 × 440mm footprint and weighing 10kg, it's a genuinely tall stool built for bar and high-counter height rather than a standard dining table, and at 10kg it has real heft — a stool that stays put rather than sliding around underfoot. It arrives fully assembled, so there's no build time between delivery and getting it into service.
