Wooden Barnett Bar Stool

FAQ

What counter or bar height does the Barnett suit?
The 77cm seat height suits kitchen islands at 90 to 95cm (upper counter-height context) or bar counters at 105 to 110cm (lower bar-height context). For surfaces below 88cm or above 110cm, the proportions become awkward and a different seat height is the better fit.

Is the wood grain identical on every Barnett?
No. Each stool is hand-crafted from solid wood, which shows natural grain variation, knot patterns, and colour shading between pieces. The base form and dimensions stay consistent, but the individual character of each unit is distinct. This is part of how hand-crafted wooden furniture presents.

Does it have a backrest or footrest?
The Barnett is a backless stool. Confirm specific footrest configuration with the Sotran team at the time of order, since stool design varies between manufacturer batches.

How comfortable is it for extended sitting?
Backless stools are designed for casual or shorter-duration sitting (meals, drinks, kitchen conversations) rather than extended sustained use. For working from a counter or sitting for several hours at a time, a stool with a backrest may suit better.

Can I use it outdoors or on a covered patio?
No, the stool is designed for indoor use only. Solid wood handles weather to some extent, but the indoor finish and the long-term durability of the piece are not weather-rated for sustained outdoor placement.

What's the warranty?
The stool is covered by Sotran's 3-year warranty on solid wood furniture. Hand-crafted variation in the timber grain and natural character marks are not warranty defects, since they are part of how solid wood pieces present.
