Bean Rustic Industrial Swivel Bar Stool with Wood Seat and Back

The Bean has the easygoing character of a well-loved vintage stool, updated with a swivel seat and plenty of custom options. Its shaped wood seat and rounded wood back sit on a slender steel frame, giving it a rustic industrial look that feels warm rather than heavy.

The slightly playful backrest resembles the shape of a coffee bean, which is where the stool gets its name.

Rustic Wood and Metal Details

Visible fasteners on the back add to the Bean’s workshop-inspired character, while the wood grain gives every finish more warmth and personality. The flared steel legs keep the profile light, and the wraparound footrest gives you a comfortable place to rest your feet.

This wood and metal bar stool works especially well with:

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

Choose a distressed wood finish to bring out more vintage character, or select a non-distressed finish for a cleaner appearance.

A Swivel Bar Stool with a Supportive Wood Back

The shaped wood back gives you a place to lean without making the stool feel bulky. Its curved edges soften the look and make the Bean more inviting than a typical all-metal industrial stool.

For anyone searching for swivel bar stools with backs, the Bean offers support while keeping the design open and visually light.

Choose Your Swivel

Select the swivel action that works best for your kitchen:

• 360-Degree Swivel: Turns freely in either direction and remains where you leave it.
• Memory-Return Swivel: Rotates up to 180 degrees and returns the seat to its original 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 distinctive option for shoppers comparing rustic counter stools with wood seats and backs.

Make It Rustic, Farmhouse, or More Modern

Your finish choices can change the entire direction of the Bean.

Pair a warm brown metal frame with distressed wood for a classic rustic bar stool. A white frame with pale wood creates a lighter farmhouse look, while silver metal and gray wood give it a more contemporary edge.

You can select:

• Metal frame finish
• Distressed or non-distressed wood
• Wood color
• Counter or bar height
• 360-degree or memory-return swivel

The Bean is a strong choice for anyone looking for a farmhouse swivel bar stool or an industrial swivel bar stool that still brings warmth and natural wood into the room.
