660 Oak Upholstered Swivel Bar Stool with Back & Arms

The Darafeev 660 is an upholstered swivel bar stool with a back and arms, giving you more support than a typical counter stool while still letting you turn easily at the kitchen island or home bar.

With a padded seat, upholstered back, wood armrests, suspension seating, and your choice of finishes and upholstery, it has much more of a dining-chair feel than a basic bar stool.

If you’re looking for comfortable bar stools with backs and arms, this is the kind of design that makes sense for everyday meals, entertaining, and longer evenings at the counter.

Arms Make a Bigger Difference Than You Might Think

The wood armrests give you somewhere natural to rest your arms instead of leaving them hanging at your sides.

That extra support is especially nice when you’re sitting for dinner or spending an hour or two talking around the kitchen island.

For customers specifically shopping for bar stools with arms, the 660 feels substantial without looking bulky.

A Padded Seat and Upholstered Back

Both the seat and back are upholstered, giving the 660 a softer, more chair-like feel.

Choose fabric for a relaxed look or leather for a richer, more tailored version. If you’ve been searching for leather bar stools with backs and arms, this model can be customized to give you exactly that look.

At Barstool Comforts, we especially like this style for customers who want their stools to feel closer to comfortable dining chairs than occasional seating.

Suspension Seating Adds More Give

Comfort isn’t only about how thick the cushion looks.

The 660 uses suspension seating beneath the cushion, which provides more give than sitting over a hard platform. As you shift in the seat, the suspension system moves with you, making the stool more comfortable for longer periods of sitting.

It’s one of the details that separates this stool from simpler mass-produced seating.

Swivel Instead of Moving the Whole Stool

The swivel seat lets you turn toward someone in the room, face another part of the kitchen, or get in and out more easily without dragging the stool across the floor.

That makes the 660 especially appealing if you’re comparing swivel bar stools with backs and arms for a kitchen island or entertaining area.

You can also select the swivel style that works best for how you plan to use the stool.

Choose Counter or Bar Height

The 660 is available in two seat heights:

• 26″ counter height pairs well with standard 36″ kitchen counters and islands.
• 30″ bar height works well with 40″ to 42″ bar-height counters and home bars.

The counter-height version is a particularly nice choice for shoppers looking for counter stools with arms or swivel counter stools with backs and arms.

Oak with More Visible Grain

The oak frame gives the 660 plenty of natural character.

Oak tends to have a more noticeable grain pattern, so you’ll see more texture and variation through the finish than you would with a finer-grained wood. That makes each stool feel a little less generic and gives darker and medium wood finishes more depth.

Choose the wood finish that works with your cabinetry, flooring, or nearby furniture.

Make It Fabric, Vinyl, or Leather

You aren’t limited to the upholstery shown in the photo.

Customize the seat and back in a fabric, vinyl, or leather that fits your room, then coordinate it with the oak finish and metal footplate.

A neutral fabric can keep the stool casual and easy to live with, while leather can give it the look of a more high-end bar stool with arms.

Why Choose a Bar Stool with Arms?

For a kitchen island where people sit frequently, arms can make the stool feel considerably more like a real chair.

You still get the height and swivel function of a bar stool, but with somewhere to rest your arms, a padded back behind you, and a more enclosed, supportive seat.

That combination is what makes the 660 a good fit for customers who put comfort first.
