El Dorado Maple Western Swivel Bar Stool with Cross-Braced Base & Arms

Western Style with a Cross-Braced Base

The El Dorado brings a distinctive Western furniture look to the kitchen, home bar, game room, or lodge-style space.

Its cross-braced maple base is what immediately sets this design apart. The exposed X-style supports give it the character of a saloon bar stool or traditional ranch seating, while the upholstered back, padded arms, and nailhead trim give it a more finished furniture look.

For anyone searching for western bar stools that feel substantial rather than themed, this is a strong direction.

A Comfortable Swivel Bar Stool with Arms

The El Dorado is a fully upholstered swivel bar stool with arms, giving you support through the back, seat, and armrests.

The swivel makes it easier to turn toward the counter, conversation, or room around you, while the arms create a more chair-like seating experience.

That makes it especially appealing for customers looking for bar stools with backs and arms or Western seating that will be used for longer periods of time.

Suspension Seating for Added Comfort

Inside the upholstered seat is Darafeev’s suspension seating system.

Rather than relying on foam over a completely rigid seat platform, the internal suspension has some give as you sit and shift your weight. Combined with high-resiliency foam, it gives the stool a softer, more supportive feel.

This is one of the details that separates this stool from the simpler cowboy bar stool styles that are primarily designed around appearance.

Counter Height or Bar Height

Choose the seat height that works with your counter or bar.

• 26″ counter height is designed for most 36″ kitchen counters, making this a good option for customers searching for western counter height bar stools.
• 30″ bar height works with most 40–42″ bars and pub tables.

Before ordering, check our bar stool height guide and measure from the floor to the top of your finished counter. In most cases, you want roughly 10–12″ between the seat and the underside of the counter for comfortable legroom.

Make the Western Look Your Own

You can take this stool in several directions depending on the upholstery and finish you choose.

A distressed-looking brown upholstery with darker maple creates the strongest western style bar stool look. A lighter wood finish and neutral upholstery can make the same cross-braced design feel more relaxed and transitional.

You can also choose from nailhead options to change the character of the stool.

For customers who want genuine leather, Darafeev offers leather selections including top-grain leather and Rich Aniline Plus leather options.
