960 Maple Tufted Swivel Bar Stool with Back & Arms

The Darafeev 960 is an upholstered swivel bar stool with a padded seat, supportive back, wood armrests, and button-tufted detailing.

It’s a great fit for kitchens and home bars where the stools are used for more than a quick meal. If you’ve been comparing bar stools with backs and arms, the 960 gives you the support of a dining chair at counter or bar height.

Button Tufting Gives It More Personality

The upholstered back features subtle button tufting, adding just enough detail without making the stool overly formal.

For shoppers drawn to tufted bar stools, this design gives you the decorative look of tufting along with the comfort of a padded seat and supportive back.

Choose leather upholstery, and the 960 becomes an especially handsome option among leather tufted bar stools, with a richer, more tailored appearance.

Arms Make a Difference

The maple armrests give you somewhere natural to rest your arms during dinner, drinks, or a long conversation at the island.

That extra support is one of the reasons people specifically look for bar stools with arms rather than simpler stools. Combined with the padded back and seat, the 960 is also a strong choice for anyone searching for comfortable bar stools with backs and arms.

Swivel Instead of Moving the Whole Stool

The swivel seat makes it easier to turn toward the kitchen, face someone behind you, or get in and out without dragging the entire stool across the floor.

For open kitchens and entertaining spaces, swivel bar stools with backs and arms give you support while still allowing you to move naturally between the counter and the rest of the room.

Choose Counter or Bar Height

The 960 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 26″ version is a natural fit for shoppers searching for counter stools with arms.

If you want the same combination of swivel movement, a supportive back, and armrests at your kitchen island, the 960 also fits neatly into the category of swivel counter stools with backs and arms.

Suspension Seating Adds More Give

There’s more to the comfort of the 960 than the thickness of the cushion.

Darafeev uses suspension seating underneath the upholstered seat, giving it more flexibility than a cushion placed directly over a hard platform.

Here at Barstool Comforts, we like this type of construction for customers who plan to use their stools every day, especially longer stretches of sitting.

Maple Keeps the Wood Look Refined

The maple frame gives this maple swivel bar stool the warmth of real wood with a smoother, finer grain than oak.

Because maple’s grain is more understated, the wood finish tends to look cleaner and more even, allowing the tufting and upholstery to stand out.

Choose the finish that best coordinates with your cabinetry, flooring, or nearby furniture.

Make It Fabric, Vinyl, or Leather

The upholstery can dramatically change the personality of the stool.

Choose fabric for a softer kitchen look, vinyl for easy maintenance, or leather for something richer and more tailored.

For customers specifically looking at leather bar stools with backs and arms, the 960 can be customized in leather while keeping the button-tufted back that makes the design distinctive.

Customize

Unlike an off-the-shelf stool, the 960 lets you choose the seat height, upholstery, maple finish, metal footplate finish, and swivel style.

That makes this tufted bar stool with arms easy to take in very different directions, from light and casual to dark and traditional.

About Suspension Seating

The term suspension seat comes from the liner suspended between the wood frame. As the occupant moves up and down, the liner gives, preventing the body from constantly hitting against a hard surface such as those found in stock seats.
