Gen Maple Low-Back Swivel Bar Stool

The Gen is a low-back swivel bar stool with a curved maple back that wraps gently around the seat.

Its lower profile gives you some back support while keeping the stool from visually dominating the counter or kitchen island.

A Lower Back for a Cleaner View

If you like the comfort of a stool with a back, but don’t want a tall chair back extending far above your counter, the Gen is a good middle ground.

The curved wood back sits relatively low while still giving you a defined place to lean. This makes it especially appealing for open kitchens where you want to keep sightlines across the island more open.

Swivel Seating for the Kitchen or Bar

The Gen is available as a swivel counter stool or swivel bar stool, making it easy to turn toward the counter, conversation, or the rest of the room.

Choose the seat height that works with your surface:

• 26″ counter height for most 36″ kitchen counters and islands
• 30″ bar height for most 40–42″ bars and pub tables

You can also select the swivel type when ordering.

Upholstered Suspension Seat

The rounded upholstered seat uses suspension seating, which allows the seat to give slightly as you sit rather than feeling like padding placed directly over a rigid surface.

High-resilient foam adds cushioning for everyday meals, morning coffee, entertaining, or longer stretches at the kitchen island.

Solid Maple Construction

The frame and curved back are made from maple wood, giving this wood swivel bar stool a warm, furniture-like appearance from every angle.

The circular footrest can also be ordered with an optional metal footplate to help protect the wood in one of the highest-contact areas of the stool.

Customize the Gen

Choose your wood finish, upholstery, seat height, swivel mechanism, and footplate finish to create a Gen stool that works with your room.

If you’re looking for a low-back counter stool with a swivel, this style gives you the convenience of a swivel seat and the warmth of exposed wood without the height of a traditional full-back bar stool.

Barstool Comforts can also send complimentary finish and upholstery samples so you can compare your selections at home before ordering.
