Tesshire II Charcoal Swivel Barstool, Set of 2

Absolutely. The mid-century modern aesthetic is highly valued in urban living for its clean lines and visual lightness. Because this stool features a low-back design and a bent wood frame, it has a smaller visual footprint than a traditional full-back chair. This allows sightlines to remain open, helping a narrow kitchen or small apartment feel more spacious while still providing the luxury of fixed-height, swivel seating.

Customer assembly is required for this set of two. The process typically involves attaching the upholstered seat and the swivel mechanism to the 4-leg base and securing the bent wood backrest. All necessary hardware is included in the package. To ensure long-term stability and proper alignment of the swivel mechanism, we recommend following the included instructions closely and occasionally checking the tension of the bolts after regular use.

Each stool in this set of two has a width of 22 inches. To ensure guests have enough elbow room and can use the swivel feature comfortably, we recommend a "center-to-center" distance of approximately 28 to 30 inches between each stool. For this set, you should plan for at least 60 inches (5 feet) of bar space to ensure the area feels balanced rather than overcrowded.

With a seat height of 30.5 inches, this is a bar-height stool specifically engineered for surfaces that are roughly 40 to 42 inches high, such as a home bar or an elevated pub table. For a standard kitchen island, which is usually 36 inches high, we typically recommend a shorter counter-height stool (24–26 inches) to ensure you have the ideal 10 to 12 inches of legroom for a comfortable sitting experience.

This stool is designed to balance mid-century style with ergonomic support. The 360-degree swivel mechanism allows for easy social interaction and movement without physical strain, while the padded, tufted square seat provides deep cushioning. The low-back design features a stylish bent wood backing that offers foundational lumbar support while maintaining a sleek, modern profile that doesn't overwhelm your space.

These stools are constructed with a stable 4-leg base. To protect delicate flooring like hardwood or laminate, especially in high-activity areas, we recommend applying high-quality felt pads or silicone glides to the bottom of each leg. This simple addition prevents surface scratches and reduces noise when the stools are moved or when the swivel mechanism is in use.

Yes, the polyurethane (faux leather) upholstery is an exceptionally practical choice for high-traffic households. Unlike genuine leather or porous fabrics, this material is non-absorbent and highly resistant to spills and stains—most messes can be quickly wiped away with a damp cloth. Based on our material expertise, faux leather is particularly well-suited for families because it resists trapped odors and pet hair, making it one of our most durable and low-maintenance seating options.
