Dotted Stools
A great addition to entertaining space, these tropical bar stools have a modern aesthetic. Its frame is crafted from wicker rattan finished in a wood hue. Woven plastic surrounds the seat with matching ties around the legs.
Designer Advice:
A great choice for coastal style kitchens and modern farmhouse interiors. The gray and white color combination would look perfect when used with a white island. These stools are available in 37 colorways, so you have tons of options to choose from. We recommend getting one that has the same palette as your island for a coordinated look.

Braided Rope Stools
Eclectic with neutral tones, these tropical counter stools add a unique touch to a space. These backless stools have an alluring weaved pattern of gray-washed fibers for the seats. It rests on a solid acacia frame.
Designer Advice:
The tropical rustic look of these pieces would be perfect for pairing with islands and bars that have weathered or distressed finishes. Complete the composition with a pair of clear ball droplights above to balance the visual weight. Below, you can opt to add a rectangular area rug, especially in dry areas. Choose geometric abstract patterns to complement the braided design.

Wood Slab Stool
Island style bar stools with a unique contemporary chic appeal. The stool’s mango wood saddle seat is the focal point of the composition. The light finish contrasts the powder-coated iron frame in a dark shade.
Designer Advice:
The simple yet appealing character of these stools would make them the right choice for modern, contemporary, and industrial style interiors. These would look great with white and pastel islands for that rustic farmhouse look. If you want a moodier vibe, these stools also pair well with black bars for a warmer touch. Matches perfectly with Edison-style bulbs.

Sand & Stable™
A set of tropical style bar stools perfect for kitchens or entertaining space. It features an organic wicker rattan seat with a sleek powder-coated black iron frame. Its two-tone design adds a contemporary appeal.
Designer Advice:
We can see these being used in a roofed patio paired with a round solid wood slab table with a live edge. Or if you want to use it in the breakfast nook, we recommend matching it with an all-black round table. Or use it to furnish a table with a glass top on a black metal base.

Chic and unique, these stools are perfect for transitional spaces with resort appeal especially the ones with off white and gray fabrics. The green model is ideal for moody yet glam spaces, paired with a black island. Meanwhile, the rose and gold units would look charming in a modern cottage interior.
