Mid-Century Bar Stools

Mid century bar stools borrow the clean lines of 1950s and 60s design: bentwood frames, tapered legs, walnut tones and low curved backs. They bring warmth to a modern kitchen island. Choose from backless swivel pairs, cane-back stools, vegan leather bentwood seats and linen counter stools.

Mid century modern bar stools in walnut and wood

Mid century modern bar stools lean on wood tones. Most here pair a walnut finish with a contrasting seat: black or beige vegan leather, sage green or cream linen, or woven cane. The backless swivel stools stand on solid wood bentwood legs with a metal footrest, and the curved-back counter stools set a linen seat on black metal or walnut-grain legs.

Mid century counter height bar stools

Mid century counter height bar stools make up most of the range, with seats about 26 inches high for a standard 36 inch island or peninsula, the height most kitchens are built to. The backless bar stools sit at 30 inches for a 40 to 42 inch bar. The bentwood vegan leather stools adjust on a gas lift, so set them to your counter before you sit.

Mid century swivel bar stools and backs

Mid century swivel bar stools turn a full 360 degrees, and nearly every stool here swivels. Backless pairs tuck fully under the counter and suit a narrow kitchen. Cane-back and bentwood stools give support for longer meals, and the rattan-back vegan leather pair adds texture. Weight ratings run from 300 to 350 pounds per stool where stated.

Mid century style bar stools for the room

Mid century style bar stools look best when the wood tone echoes something nearby: a walnut dining table, open shelves or a wood floor. Beige, cream and black seats stay neutral, while blue, green and camel add a period accent. Allow about 24 inches of counter per stool. Wipe vegan leather with a damp cloth, vacuum linen and fabric seats, and dust cane with a soft brush.

Frequently asked questions

How tall are counter height bar stools?
Counter height bar stools have a seat about 24 to 27 inches high, made for a 36 inch counter or island. Most mid century counter stools here sit at about 26 inches, including the backless swivel pairs, the cane-back stools and the curved-back linen stools. Leave 10 to 12 inches between the seat and the underside of the counter.
How tall are bar height stools?
Bar height stools have a seat about 28 to 33 inches high, sized for a bar 40 to 42 inches tall. The backless mid century swivel bar stools sit at 30 inches, which fits a standard bar. The walnut bentwood stools adjust on a gas lift, so you can set them for a counter or a bar.
What is the difference between bar stools and counter stools?
The difference between bar stools and counter stools is seat height. Counter stools sit about 26 inches high for a 36 inch counter, and bar stools sit about 30 inches high for a 40 to 42 inch bar. The backless mid century swivel stools come in both heights, in black, gray, blue and beige.
What height bar stools do you need for a 36 inch counter?
A 36 inch counter needs stools with a seat about 24 to 27 inches high. The 26 inch mid century counter stools fit directly, including the backless swivel pairs and the walnut cane-back sets. Skip the 30 inch backless bar stools for a 36 inch counter, since they leave too little leg room.
How do you measure for bar stools?
Measure for bar stools from the floor to the underside of the counter, then subtract 10 to 12 inches for the seat height. Next, measure the counter length and allow about 24 inches per stool. Backless mid century stools can sit a little closer together, since they tuck fully under the counter edge.
How do you clean a mid century bar stool?
Clean a mid century bar stool by its seat and frame. Wipe vegan leather with a damp cloth and dry it, vacuum linen and fabric seats and blot spills quickly, and dust woven cane with a soft brush. Wipe walnut-finish wood with a dry or barely damp cloth, and avoid soaking the bentwood.
