Oslo High Stool in Wood for Commercial Bars

This high stool positions customers at bar-top height, allowing staff to serve efficiently across a continuous worktop. The seat stands 780 mm from the floor, aligning with standard British bar and café counters. This elevation keeps the work surface clear for glassware, tills, and POS systems while keeping customers within easy reach of taps or coffee machines.

The stool features four splayed legs to distribute weight evenly. A solid wooden seat and backrest provide firm support, resisting sagging or flexing during extended use. Stretchers near the floor connect the legs, preventing wobble and handling side loads when customers shift or lean.

No assembly is needed; the stool arrives ready for use. Customers step onto the footrest or lower rung to sit. The backrest offers lumbar support, reducing fatigue during longer visits. When not in use, stools can be nested or stacked to save space behind the bar or in storage.

The frame and seat are crafted from wood, selected for its durability and natural grip. The surface remains smooth but not slippery when wet. The finish is standardised for commercial environments, resisting scratches and minor impacts from glassware or cutlery.

With no moving parts, the stool is a static seating unit. Its weight allows one person to lift and reposition it, though its size deters casual removal. The footprint of 300 mm by 360 mm fits standard British bar stool spacing, ensuring comfortable side-by-side seating without crowding. The fixed 780 mm seat height requires matching counter dimensions. Sold in multiples of eight, it ensures uniform seating across bars or cafés.

Cleaning involves wiping surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The finish requires no oiling or waxing. The stool is unsuitable for outdoor use or areas with standing water.
