A backrest can make a noticeable difference to how a bar stool feels, particularly when the seat is used for more than a quick coffee.
Our Bar Stools with Back collection brings together supportive seating chosen for comfort, proportion and the way it performs in everyday use.
Across the range you’ll find hand-finished leather, natural timber, upholstered seats and metal frames, from streamlined designs with a subtle backrest to more substantial stools that provide greater support. Explore our Leather Bar Stools, Wooden Bar Stools and Upholstered Bar Stools to compare materials and finishes.
Seat height matters just as much as back support. For standard kitchen islands and breakfast bars, our Kitchen Counter Stools are selected for lower worktops. For taller counters and bar tables, browse our Bar Height Stools.
If keeping the space visually open is more important, our Backless Bar Stools offer a lower-profile alternative that can tuck neatly beneath a counter.
Whether the stool is destined for a kitchen, entertaining space or hospitality setting, the principle is the same: the backrest, seat height and proportions should work together so the stool feels comfortable rather than simply looking the part.
