Description
This black rattan bar stool pairs a handwoven rattan core seat with slim black metal legs. The seat curves up at the back into a low backrest, woven in rows of parallel strands with open gaps between them. Rattan comes from climbing palms, and its core is the inner cane left once the outer skin has been stripped away, pliable enough to be woven by hand. It measures 45cm wide, 50cm deep and 90cm tall overall, with the seat 70cm from the floor.
Whether yours is going to a breakfast bar, kitchen island or home bar, seat height is the figure we would check first. Measure from the floor to the underside of your worktop or bar top and compare it with the 70cm seat height, leaving enough room between the two for your legs. The back tops out at 90cm, so if you want the stool to slide fully under the counter when not in use, check the space beneath it as well. At 45cm wide, it is also worth measuring the length of your counter to see how many will fit side by side with elbow room to spare. The low back gives you something to lean against, and rails near the bottom of the legs give your feet somewhere to rest.
The four legs splay slightly outwards, braced by crossed struts just below the seat, and each finishes in a small round foot. No assembly is required. Seat and legs are both black, which gives the stool a crisp outline against pale worktops and timber, and it suits contemporary and rustic interiors alike. It is sold as a single stool, so order as many as your counter needs; in a row along an island, the open weave keeps several from looking heavy.

Frequently Asked
How do I know if it will fit at my kitchen island or breakfast bar?
Check the seat height, which is 70cm from the floor. Measure from the floor to the underside of your worktop or bar top, then make sure the gap between that and the seat leaves comfortable room for your legs.
Is 90cm the seat height?
No. 90cm is the overall height, measured to the top of the back. The seat is lower, at 70cm from the floor, and that is the figure to compare with your counter.
What is it made from?
The seat is handwoven from rattan core and the legs are black metal, with the stool 60% rattan and 40% iron overall. Rattan core is the inner cane of rattan, a climbing palm, once the outer skin has been stripped away.
Does it have a back and a footrest?
Yes to both. The woven seat curves up at the rear into a low back you can lean against, and rails near the bottom of the legs give your feet somewhere to rest.
Does it need assembling?
No assembly is required, so there are no parts to fit together and it is ready to use once unpacked.
Is it sold singly or as a pair?
It is sold as a single bar stool. At 45cm wide, measure the length of your counter to work out how many you need with elbow room between them.
