Connor Backless Swivel Bar Stool with Solid Wood Seat

The Connor pairs a round solid wood seat with a sturdy steel frame and an easy-turning swivel. Its backless shape tucks neatly beneath the kitchen island, helping keep walkways open and the countertop fully visible.

The wood seat gives this version a warmer, more rustic appearance than the upholstered Connor, while the simple metal base adds an industrial edge.

A Backless Stool That Tucks Away

The Connor takes up less visual space than a stool with a tall back. Push it beneath the island when it is not being used, and the kitchen immediately feels more open and orderly.

It works especially well in:

• Smaller kitchens and apartments
• Open-concept rooms
• Islands near busy walkways
• Breakfast bars with limited floor space
• Kitchens where several stools need to fit along one counter

For shoppers comparing backless bar stools, the Connor offers full-height seating without making the island feel crowded.

Solid Wood Seat

The round wood seat is firm, durable, and easy to wipe clean after meals or everyday kitchen use. Natural differences in grain and color give each seat its own character.

Choose a distressed wood finish for more rustic personality or a non-distressed finish for a smoother, cleaner appearance.

At Barstool Comforts, the Connor can be ordered in a wide range of wood and metal finishes, so the final look can lean rustic industrial, farmhouse, or contemporary.

Swivel Seating for Everyday Convenience

The seat rotates, allowing you to turn toward the counter, face the adjoining room, or get up without dragging the entire stool across the floor.

Among backless swivel bar stools, the Connor has a straightforward shape that is easy to place around a kitchen island. The round seat also makes it approachable from any direction.

Rustic Industrial Character

The natural wood seat and open metal frame give the Connor a simple rustic industrial look.

Pair warm or distressed wood with a black or dark brown base for a more traditional industrial appearance. A light wood seat with white metal feels more farmhouse-inspired, while gray wood and silver metal create a more modern direction.

It coordinates naturally with:

• Wood or painted cabinetry
• Stone and quartz countertops
• Exposed brick
• Black metal lighting
• Butcher-block kitchen islands
• Strong Steel Frame

The Connor sits on a durable steel frame with tapered legs and a circular footrest. The open construction keeps the stool visually light, while the footrest gives you a comfortable place to rest your feet.

The surrounding metal ring also adds structure and helps protect the lower frame during everyday use.

Choose the Right Seat Height

The Connor is offered in three heights:

• Counter Height: For kitchen islands and counters approximately 36–37 inches high.
• Bar Height: For counters and home bars approximately 40–42 inches high.
• Spectator Height: For taller counters approximately 46–48 inches high.

The counter-height model is a practical option for anyone looking for backless counter stools or backless counter height stools that can slide beneath a standard kitchen island.

Customize the Connor

Warm wood and dark metal give this backless counter stool more rustic character. Pale finishes keep it light and casual, while contrasting colors make the round wood seat stand out.

The Connor is an easy choice for anyone looking for a backless swivel stool with a solid wood seat, a clean profile, and plenty of custom finish options.
