Owen Traditional Swivel Bar Stool with Ladder Back

The Owen brings classic ladder-back styling to the kitchen island with a cushioned seat, durable steel frame, and convenient swivel movement.

This traditional bar stool works especially well in kitchens where you want something familiar, comfortable, and easy to coordinate with changing décor.

Classic Ladder Back

The Owen’s horizontal slats create the timeless look associated with a ladder back bar stool. The open design adds definition to the back while allowing light to pass through, helping a row of stools feel less bulky around the island.

That open back also has a practical benefit: it gives you room to brush crumbs off the seat instead of letting them collect where the seat and back meet. It makes everyday cleanup around the kitchen island a little easier.

Cushioned for Everyday Seating

The upholstered seat provides a softer place to sit than an all-metal or wood stool. Its simple shape looks tailored without appearing overly formal.

Choose from fabric, performance fabric, or easy-to-clean vinyl according to the way your kitchen is used. A textured neutral keeps the design classic, while a stripe, pattern, or deeper shade adds more personality.

Swivel Movement

The swivel seat allows you to turn toward the counter, face the adjoining room, or get up without repeatedly dragging the stool across the floor.

Choose the swivel style that works best for your kitchen:

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

Traditional Style Without the Heaviness

The Owen belongs among traditional-style bar stools, but its open back and slim steel frame give it a lighter appearance than a solid wood chair.

It works naturally with:

• Shaker or raised-panel cabinetry
• Traditional and transitional kitchens
• Wood, quartz, or stone countertops
• Bronze, black, or brushed-metal hardware
• Country-inspired and casually classic interiors

Dark brown, bronze, or black finishes bring out its traditional character. Silver, soft white, taupe, or another lighter finish gives the Owen a more updated transitional look.

Durable Metal Frame

The Owen is one of those metal counter stools with backs that provides substantial structure without looking bulky.

Its tapered legs and circular footrest give the frame a balanced appearance while offering a comfortable place for your feet.

The welded steel construction also creates a more solid foundation than lightweight stools assembled primarily with screws.

Seating for the Kitchen Island

For shoppers comparing stools for a kitchen island with backs, the Owen offers more support than a backless stool while keeping the view through the back relatively open.

Its armless design also makes it easier to arrange several stools side by side and approach the seat from either direction.

Choose Your Height

Select the height that fits your surface:

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

Customize the Owen

The Owen is a dependable swivel bar stool for anyone looking for a cushioned seat, supportive ladder back, strong steel frame, and traditional styling that still feels at home in an updated kitchen.
