El Dorado II Maple Stetson Western Swivel Bar Stool with Flared Legs & Arms

The Darafeev El Dorado II is a Western swivel bar stool designed for anyone who wants something with more character than a standard kitchen stool.

Use it around a kitchen island, home bar, game room, or Western-themed entertaining space. With so many upholstery and finish combinations available, this is one of those Western bar stools that can lean distinctly cowboy or become considerably more understated depending on how you customize it.

A Stetson-Inspired Back Sets It Apart

The most distinctive feature is the optional Stetson treatment across the top of the upholstered back.

Choose a contrasting material for this upper section to emphasize the Western styling, like the textured treatment shown here or keep the upholstery closer in color for a quieter look.

That detail gives the El Dorado II the personality shoppers often look for in western style bar stools without making the entire stool feel overly themed.

For a ranch house, lodge, game room, home bar, or Western-inspired kitchen, it can easily take on the character of a sophisticated cowboy bar stool.

Upholstered Arms

The El Dorado II has padded, upholstered arms rather than exposed wood armrests.

That gives you a softer place to rest your arms and makes this design especially appealing if you’re comparing bar stools with arms for longer periods of sitting.

The supportive upholstered back and cushioned arms also place it firmly in the category of comfortable bar stools with backs and arms, rather than stools intended mainly for quick meals.

Available in Counter and Bar Height

Choose from two seat heights:

• 26″ counter height for most 36″ counters.
• 30″ bar height for most 40–42″ bars and pub tables.

The 26″ version is especially useful for shoppers searching for western counter height bar stools or counter stools with arms for a standard kitchen island.

Barstool Comforts’ Bar Stool Height Guide can also help you match your finished counter height to the right seat height before ordering.

Swivel Seating Makes Conversation Easier

The swivel mechanism lets you turn toward the counter, another person, or the rest of the room without dragging the entire stool across the floor.

Suspension Seating for Added Comfort

The El Dorado Stool also includes suspension seating beneath the cushion.

A suspended liner inside the wood seat frame has some give as you sit and shift your weight, rather than placing the upholstered cushion directly over a rigid surface.

Combined with high-resiliency foam, this helps create a softer sitting experience during dinners, conversations, card games, or long evenings around the bar.

Make It a Leather Western Bar Stool

Leather is a natural fit for this design.

Choose leather for the seat, back, and arms to emphasize the stool’s Western character, or combine two upholstery materials to make the Stetson treatment stand out even more.

For shoppers comparing leather bar stools with backs and arms, the El Dorado II gives you considerably more customization than a mass-produced leather stool.

Choose from a wide selection of upholstery, including top grain leather and rich aniline leather options, to give this Western bar stool an authentic leather look and feel.

A warm brown leather, darker maple finish, and traditional nailhead trim can push the design firmly into saloon bar stool territory, while lighter leather and quieter finishes can make it feel more transitional.

Nailhead Trim Adds Another Western Detail

Nailheads run along the upholstered edges of the stool and help define the seat, back, and arms.

They’re particularly effective on Western bar stools because they reference the detailing often seen on traditional leather furniture, saddlery, and ranch-inspired interiors.

Maple Wood Base with a Metal Footplate

The base is made from maple and features four slightly flared legs surrounding the swivel mechanism.

A solid metal footplate protects the wood footrest from shoe wear and gives your feet a durable place to rest.

That makes the El Dorado II a maple swivel bar stool with the warmth of a wood frame and added protection where everyday wear is most likely to happen.

Customize the Western Look

The El Dorado II gives you several ways to control how strongly the Western styling comes through.

• Choose the upholstery for the seat, back, and arms.
• Select a separate top-back material for the Stetson treatment.
• Choose the nailhead finish.
• Choose the maple wood finish.
• Choose the metal footplate finish.

A textured leather top with warm brown leather below can create a distinctive cowboy bar stool, while a tonal fabric combination can make the same frame work in a more traditional kitchen.

That flexibility is why this design works well for customers who like western style bar stools, but still want the stool to coordinate with the rest of their furniture.

More Than a Themed Bar Stool

What keeps the El Dorado II from feeling like novelty Western furniture is the amount of real seating comfort built into it.

You’re getting an upholstered swivel bar stool with a supportive back, padded arms, suspension seating, a footrest, and your choice of counter or bar height.

So while the styling can absolutely suit a ranch, lodge, Western home bar, or saloon-inspired room, it also works for anyone simply looking for distinctive bar stools with backs and arms that don’t look like everything else on the market.
