Bean Rustic Industrial Swivel Bar Stool with Wood Back and Cushioned Seat

The Bean has the same rustic industrial character as the wood-seat version, with an upholstered cushion for a softer place to sit. Its shaped wood back, exposed fasteners, and slender steel frame give it the look of a vintage workshop stool—just a little more comfortable for everyday use.

The rounded backrest resembles the shape of a coffee bean, which is where this distinctive stool gets its name.

Rustic Character with a Cushioned Seat

The upholstered seat softens the Bean’s wood-and-metal design and makes it more inviting for meals, conversation, and time spent around the kitchen island.

Its slim profile keeps it from looking bulky, while the wood back adds warmth and gentle support. This makes the Bean a practical choice for anyone looking for a rustic swivel bar stool that feels less rigid than an all-wood or all-metal design.

Wood and Metal Details

The visible fasteners on the wood back give the Bean an industrial edge, while the natural grain and curved shape keep it from feeling cold.

Its flared steel legs create an open profile, and the wraparound footrest gives you a comfortable place to rest your feet.

This wood and metal bar stool coordinates naturally with:

• Natural or painted cabinetry
• Exposed brick and stone
• Butcher-block countertops
• Matte black lighting and hardware
• Rustic, farmhouse, and industrial kitchens

Choose a distressed wood finish for more vintage character or a non-distressed finish for a cleaner appearance.

Supportive Wood Back

The shaped wood back provides a place to lean while keeping the stool visually light. Because the back is open beneath the wood panel, it does not block the view across the kitchen island.

For shoppers comparing swivel bar stools with backs, the Bean offers support without the heavier appearance of a fully upholstered back.

Choose Your Swivel

Select the swivel style that best suits your space:

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

Counter or Bar Height

The Bean is available in two seat heights:

• 25″ Counter Height: For counters approximately 36 inches high.
• 29″ Bar Height: For counters approximately 40–42 inches high.

The counter-height version is a comfortable option for anyone searching for rustic counter stools with a cushioned seat and supportive back.

Customize the Bean

At Barstool Comforts, you can personalize the Bean with your choice of:

• Fabric or vinyl upholstery
• Distressed or non-distressed wood finish
• Metal frame finish
• Counter or bar height
• 360-degree or memory-return swivel

Pair warm brown metal with distressed wood for a traditional rustic look. A pale wood back and light upholstery feel more farmhouse-inspired, while gray wood, dark vinyl, and silver metal give the stool a more contemporary direction.

The Bean is an inviting choice for anyone looking for a farmhouse swivel bar stool or rustic industrial bar stool with the added comfort of an upholstered seat.
