Modern Bar Stools

Modern bar stools with backs, or backless

Most modern stools here have a back, from low curved velvet backs on gold legs to cane backs on oak frames and chrome cantilever frames in black vegan leather. Two pairs go backless for a cleaner line: a brown vegan leather saddle seat on wood legs and a clear acrylic seat on a chrome frame. Backless stools tuck fully under the overhang, while a back gives more support through a long meal.

Modern counter height bar stools and bar height picks

Counter stools here have a 24.8 to 26 inch seat for a 36 inch counter or island, including almond and navy boucle pairs with arms on a black and gold frame. Taller picks run from 27 to 31 inch seats, with most around 28 to 30.5 inches for a bar about 42 inches high. Stools with a listed rating hold 220 to 330 pounds.

Modern swivel bar stools and mid century modern bar stools

Modern swivel bar stools turn a full 360 degrees: cane-back counter pairs in beige or black vegan leather on a walnut-finish wood frame, a beige bar set on a walnut-tone iron frame, and black aluminum outdoor stools. For a mid century modern look, pair walnut tones and cane with black or cream seats. The gold-leg velvet and boucle pieces give a softer, dressier feel.

Modern outdoor bar stools and set sizes

Modern outdoor bar stools include black powder-coated aluminum swivels with Sunbrella cushions that resist fading and stains, and solid acacia sets of 4 with woven wicker backs in green or black. Indoor stools come in sets of 2, 3, 4 and 6, so a long island can match end to end.

Wipe vegan leather and acrylic with a damp cloth, vacuum boucle, velvet and linen, and blot spills right away.
