Dara Maple Flexback Upholstered Swivel Bar Stool with Back

The Darafeev Dara is an upholstered swivel bar stool with back support that gives you a softer, more comfortable place to sit without the visual weight of a large traditional stool.

For shoppers looking at bar stools with backs, the Dara has a clean silhouette that works easily with both casual and more finished interiors.

Flexback Gives the Back a Little Movement

Darafeev’s Flexback allows approximately 1 to 1½ inches of movement when you lean into the back.

It’s a subtle amount of give, but it keeps the stool from feeling rigid during meals, conversation, or a longer evening at the counter.

Combined with the padded upholstery, it gives this swivel bar stool with back a more relaxed sitting feel.

Suspension Seating Under the Cushion

The Dara also includes Darafeev’s suspension seating underneath the padded seat.
Instead of the cushion sitting directly over a hard platform, the suspension provides additional give as you sit and shift your weight.

That makes this padded swivel bar stool especially appealing when your stools are used for more than a quick breakfast.

Swivel Toward the Kitchen or the Room

The swivel seat makes it easy to turn toward the kitchen, face someone behind you, or get in and out without constantly moving the whole stool.

That flexibility is one of the reasons swivel bar stools with backs work so well in open kitchens where people naturally turn between the counter and the rest of the room.

Choose the Right Height

The Dara 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 works naturally as a counter height swivel stool with back, while the 30″ version gives you a bar height swivel stool for taller surfaces.

Not sure which height you need? Use the Bar Stool Height Guide from Barstool Comforts to match your counter or bar height with the right seat height. As a general rule, allow about 10–12 inches between the top of the seat and the top of the counter.

Maple Keeps the Wood Look Understated

The base is made from maple, which has a finer and smoother grain than oak.

That gives this maple swivel bar stool a cleaner wood appearance and allows the upholstered back and seat to become more of the visual focus.

Choose from a range of maple finishes to coordinate the stool with cabinetry, flooring, or nearby furniture.

Choose Fabric, Vinyl, or Leather

The upholstery can completely change the personality of the Dara.

Choose a textured fabric for a softer kitchen look, vinyl for easier maintenance, or leather for a richer leather swivel bar stool.

A light neutral can make the stool feel relaxed and airy, while darker leather and a deeper maple finish can give it a more tailored home-bar look.’

Customize the Details

Choose the seat height, upholstery, maple finish, metal footplate finish, and swivel type to suit your space.

Because the design itself is fairly clean, the Dara responds especially well to customization. The same upholstered bar stool with back can look casual, traditional, or more contemporary depending on the materials you choose.
