These two stools are crafted from solid and manufactured wood and come in either natural or walnut. They do have a swivel feature - however, they are not height adjustable. Their curved design is smooth and on-trend without being ultra-modern.

We recommend pairing these stools with an all-white or black kitchen island for a contrasting look. As they have a contemporary and sleek design, a marble countertop would also look great with these stools. Despite their stunning design, these stools may not be the best option if you have back issues due to their extreme low back. 

Choose from cream, black, or gray with this stool – although note that all three have a black base. The natural wood variation contrasts with plush faux leather for a chic and elegant look. The frame is made of steel for durability.
