Rustic Bar Stools

Rustic bar stools and counter stools pull up to a kitchen island, home bar or game room counter with lodge character. These Fireside Lodge stools are handcrafted in the USA in reclaimed barnwood from 1800s tobacco barns, northern white cedar and bark-on hickory log. Choose backless cedar slab and round stools, stools with backs and arms, swivel stools, Barnwood Artisan, Colonial and Saddle designs, and upholstered Hickory Log stools.

How to Choose a Rustic Bar Stool

Counter height or bar height

Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter. Counters around 36 inches take counter stools with a seat about 24 inches high. Bars around 42 inches take bar stools with a seat about 30 inches high. Many styles come in both heights.

Backless, back or arms

Backless stools tuck fully under the counter. Stools with a back or arms are more comfortable for longer meals, and swivel stools make it easy to turn toward the room.

Upholstery

Many Barnwood and Hickory stools are upholstered, with standard, upgrade or premium fabric or leather options.
