Rockcress Dark Gray Barstool, Set of 2

While the steel legs are finished with a smooth matte coating, we always recommend proactive floor protection for hard surfaces. Adding adhesive felt pads or silicone caps to the feet of these stools is a hallmark of good furniture maintenance. This simple step prevents scratches and allows the stools to glide quietly across your flooring.

The low-back design is a strategic choice for maintaining clear sightlines in open-concept homes or compact urban apartments. Because the backrest remains relatively flush with the bar surface, it creates a minimalist, uncluttered aesthetic that makes the room feel larger. This contemporary silhouette offers essential lumbar support without the visual bulk of a full-back chair.

Leatherette is an exceptionally practical and high-performing material for busy dining environments. It provides the sophisticated, vintage look of real leather but with superior resistance to spills and stains. Based on our expertise with high-traffic furniture, we recommend simply wiping the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap; the non-porous nature of the material ensures that liquids are not absorbed, making cleanup effortless.

This stool has a seat height of 29.5 inches, classifying it as a bar-height stool. It is designed specifically for bars or pub tables that stand between 40 and 42 inches tall. For a standard 36-inch kitchen island, we typically recommend a counter-height stool (24–27 inch seat height) to maintain the ideal 10–12 inch gap for comfortable legroom.

This stool achieves its contemporary look through a combination of industrial materials and tailored craftsmanship. The contrast between the dark gray vintage leatherette and the minimalist matte black steel frame is accented by professional baseball stitching on the square seat. These specific details provide a high-end, custom-upholstered appearance that anchors a modern dining space.

These stools are constructed with a solid round matte black steel frame, a material chosen for its exceptional strength and slight natural flexibility. This ensures the frame is both durable and resistant to the warping that can occur with lesser materials. The straight-leg design provides a stable, wobble-free base that can withstand frequent daily use in a modern home.
