Brushed steel bar stools have a metal satin finish. It’s made by polishing the surface of the metal which creates a signature “brush scrubbed” look. It’s known for its pattern of fine lines that run parallel to the brushing direction. Commonly brushed metals include: stainless steel, aluminum, and nickel.
Brushed steel can have a dull or shiny finish. Most of our stools match or closely-match stainless steel appliances with a standard medium-shiny finish, like refrigerators, microwaves, and ovens.
It’s an iconic look with the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the famous DeLorean car from Back to the Future.
Brushed steel metal stools go great in contemporary or modern kitchens. It compliments most granite, Formica, or Corian countertops.
Even better, it doesn’t matter what color or pattern is on your countertop. Brushed steel will tie in with your decor and blend with your stainless steel appliances. It also doesn’t show as many fingerprints as stainless because of its buffed pattern.
It’s a top-of-the-line finish because it requires an extra polishing process. During this process, the metal is polished with a 120 to 180 grit belt or a wheel, then softened with an 80 to 120 grit compound or an abrasive belt or pad.

When choosing your finish, keep in mind that brushed steel is just as durable as any powder-coated paint finish.
