A low back makes a metal stool far more comfortable and also makes it impossible to stack. Four of them in a corner take up a lot of room in a flat or a small bar.

The backrest is detachable. Take it off and the seats nest into a column; put it back on and you have a stool with something to lean against. The record calls it a design for stacked demand.

Where 30 inches sits

Thirty inches to the seat and 37 in to the top of the back. That is bar height, best under a top of about 40 in to 42 in, which leaves 10 in to 12 in of knee room.

Backs on or off

With the backs fitted they will not nest. Take them off and the seats stack straight into each other, which is the whole reason the back is bolted rather than welded.

Four details

Rounded edges rather than cut steel, screws rather than rivets, an X brace under the seat and rubber pads on the feet. The seat also carries a slot that the maker says helps it ventilate.

What we stand behind

• The 30 in seat height, the 37 in overall height, the 12 in square seat, the 330 lb figure and the 12 lb net weight come from both the specification list and the drawing, which agree.
• The product title calls these counter height barstools. A 30 in seat is bar height, best under a top of about 40 in to 42 in, and this page corrects it.
• The record describes the stools as suitable for a patio in one line while listing them as metal with a painted surface. No weather or rust rating is published, so we would keep them inside.
• No maximum stack height is published.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Counter height or bar height?

Bar. The seat is 30 in, which suits a top of about 40 in to 42 in. A 36 in counter needs a 24 in to 26 in seat.

Do the backs really come off?

Yes. The manufacturer calls it a detachable backrest for stacked demand, and the photographs show the stools stacked with the backs removed.

Can I use them outdoors?

One line of the record mentions a patio, but no weather or rust rating is published for the painted steel. We would keep them under cover.

How heavy is one stool?

Twelve pounds, which is light enough to carry two at a time.
