Edwin Metal Swivel Bar Stool with Ladder Back

The Edwin has a classic ladder back, cushioned seat, and slender steel frame that fits comfortably around a kitchen island.

Its tall open back provides support without creating the heavy appearance of a solid or fully upholstered backrest.

Classic Ladder Back Design

Horizontal metal slats form the Edwin’s tall ladder back, giving the stool a familiar design that works in traditional, transitional, farmhouse, and casual kitchens.

The open spaces between the slats keep the back from appearing too solid. They also allow light to pass through, which helps a row of stools feel less imposing around the island.

For anyone searching for a ladder back counter stool, the Edwin offers a more streamlined alternative to a heavy wood design.

Support Without the Bulk

The tall back gives you a supportive place to lean, while its open construction keeps the overall profile relatively narrow.

This makes the Edwin a useful option for shoppers comparing narrow counter stools with backs, especially when several seats need to fit along the same kitchen island.

It also works well for anyone looking for narrow bar stools for kitchen island seating without giving up back support.

Cushioned Seat

The upholstered seat provides a softer sitting surface than an all-metal stool. Choose from fabric, performance fabric, or easy-to-clean vinyl based on how your kitchen is used.

A neutral covering keeps the ladder back as the main design feature, while a pattern or deeper color gives the seat more presence.

Swivel Seating for Everyday Use

The swivel seat allows you to turn naturally between the countertop and the rest of the room.

As a swivel counter stool with back support, the Edwin gives you easy movement while maintaining the look of a classic kitchen stool.

Choose the swivel style that suits your space:

• 360-Degree Swivel: Turns freely in either direction and remains where you leave it.
• Memory-Return Swivel: Rotates up to 180 degrees and returns to its forward-facing position after you stand.

Strong Steel Frame

The Edwin is a metal bar stool with back support, built on a durable steel frame with slightly flared legs and a square footrest.

The slim base keeps the stool from looking bulky, while the footrest gives you a comfortable place to rest your feet. Choose a dark finish for a more traditional appearance, a muted green or warm neutral for farmhouse character, or a lighter metal finish for a more updated look.

Choose Counter or Bar Height

The Edwin is available in two seat 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.

Customize the Edwin

The Edwin is a practical choice for anyone looking for a ladder back stool with a cushioned seat, supportive open back, and slim profile that fits neatly around the kitchen island.
