Description
The Enya bar stool sets a quilted back and an upholstered seat, both in light grey chenille, on slim black metal legs, with the seat at 68cm. Chenille takes its name from the French word for caterpillar: the yarn has short fibres standing out all round a twisted core, which is what gives the cloth its soft pile. The back is quilted in a stitched grid, so the light grey has some texture to it. Overall it measures 46cm wide, 57cm deep and 97cm high.
It is made for a breakfast bar or kitchen island. The 97cm in the name is the height to the top of the back, so the figure to check against your counter is the 68cm seat. We suggest measuring from the floor to the underside of your worktop or breakfast bar and taking 68cm away: what is left is your legroom, and that gap, rather than the counter height on its own, is what decides whether you sit comfortably. The 46cm width tells you how many will fit along a counter, allowing a little elbow room between each, and the 57cm depth is worth checking against any walkway behind the stools. As a neutral, light grey works beside white, wood or painted kitchen units without competing with them.
Steel makes up half the composition, with plywood at 30% and chenille and foam at 10% each. A curved footrest runs between the front legs, which matters on a seat this tall: resting your feet on it takes weight off the backs of your thighs instead of leaving your legs to hang. Partial assembly is required, and the stool is sold singly, so order the number your counter needs. The black legs pick up black taps, handles or pendant lights if your kitchen already has them.

Frequently Asked
Is 97cm the seat height?
No. 97cm is the overall height, measured to the top of the quilted back. The seat sits at 68cm, and that is the figure to compare with your counter.
Will it suit my breakfast bar or kitchen island?
Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter and take away 68cm. What remains is your legroom, which matters more than the counter height itself. For spacing, each stool is 46cm wide, so allow that plus a little elbow room per seat.
Does it have a footrest?
Yes. A curved footrest runs between the front legs, so on a seat this high your feet have somewhere to rest rather than hanging.
What is it made of?
The composition is steel 50%, plywood 30%, chenille 10% and foam 10%. The seat and the quilted back are upholstered in light grey chenille, and the legs are black metal.
Does it come assembled?
Not fully. Partial assembly is required, so there is some putting together to do before the stool is ready to use.
Is it sold as a single stool or a pair?
It is sold as a single stool, so order one for each place at your counter. The furniture and accessories shown with it in the room photograph are styling props and are not included.
