Why this high bar stool earns its place
There's a particular look that works at a bar — something with a bit more character than a plain stacking stool, without tipping into fussy — and the Hanoi delivers it well. The soft oak finish on the rubber wood frame has a warm, classic tone, and it's paired with a Shetland Forest patterned fabric seatpad that gives the chair genuine visual interest rather than a flat block of colour. Standing 1175mm high, 410mm wide and 440mm deep, it's built to bar height rather than dining height, so it's the right pick for a bar run or a run of high tables rather than a standard dining setting.
The frame is rubber wood throughout, a material chosen specifically for its durability in demanding commercial environments — it's built to handle the day-to-day knocks of a busy bar area rather than occasional home use. At 10kg it has a solid, planted feel once it's in position, which matters for a stool that's going to get pulled in and out repeatedly through a shift.
It arrives fully assembled, which is worth knowing before it lands — there's no flat-pack build required, it's ready to put straight into service. It's also backed by a 1-year warranty, with a further 1-year extended warranty on top, giving genuine cover if anything needs attention once it's in daily use.
