El Dorado II Maple Western Upholstered Swivel Bar Stool with Arms

The Darafeev El Dorado II brings the character of classic Western bar stools into a more comfortable, customizable design.

Customize it in leather and a warm wood finish for a traditional saloon bar stool or cowboy-inspired look. Choose a lighter fabric or quieter finish, and the same design can work in a transitional kitchen, home bar, game room, or lodge.

A Western Bar Stool Without Feeling Overly Themed

The El Dorado II has unmistakable Western influences, but you don’t have to create a full cowboy-themed room for it to make sense.

The curved upholstered back, flared maple legs, padded arms, and decorative nailhead trim give it enough character to stand apart from more conventional bar stools with backs and arms.

For ranch homes, lodge interiors, Western game rooms, and rustic home bars, it can easily take on the personality of a cowboy bar stool.

For a more understated space, simply choose a quieter upholstery and wood combination.

Make It a Leather Western Bar Stool

Leather works especially well with this design.

Darafeev offers premium leather upholstery choices, including top grain leather and rich aniline leather options, allowing you to bring out the natural character associated with traditional Western style bar stools.

A warm brown leather paired with a darker maple finish and contrasting nailheads creates the classic saloon-inspired look.

If you’re comparing leather bar stools with backs and arms, this design also gives you padded armrests and a fully upholstered back rather than exposed wood against your body.

Padded Arms for Added Comfort

One of the biggest differences between this stool and a simpler Western bar stool is the amount of upholstery surrounding you.

Both arms are padded and upholstered, giving you a softer place to rest your forearms during meals, drinks, conversations, or longer evenings around the bar.

That makes the El Dorado II a good fit for shoppers looking for comfortable bar stools with backs and arms, especially when the seating will be used for more than a quick breakfast.

Counter Height or Bar Height

Choose the height that matches your counter or bar:

• 26″ seat height — designed for most 36″ counters.
• 30″ seat height — designed for most 40–42″ bars and pub tables.

The 26″ version works particularly well for anyone searching for Western counter height bar stools or counter stools with arms for a standard kitchen island.

Before ordering, Barstool Comforts recommends checking your finished counter height and using our Bar Stool Height Guide to confirm the proper seat height.

Swivel Seating for Kitchens and Home Bars

The swivel function lets you turn toward the counter, another guest, or the rest of the room without constantly moving the entire stool.

That’s especially useful in open kitchens and entertainment areas where people naturally turn in several directions.

For shoppers comparing swivel bar stools with backs and arms or swivel counter stools with backs and arms, the El Dorado II provides the movement of a swivel stool with the support of a more substantial upholstered chair.

Suspension Seating Beneath the Cushion

Comfort isn’t coming from foam alone.

Like Darafeev’s other stools and chairs, the El Dorado II features suspension seating inside the seat frame. The suspended liner has some give as you sit and shift your weight, helping prevent the hard feel that can come from a cushion placed directly over a rigid surface.

Combined with high-resiliency foam, it creates a more forgiving seat for longer periods of sitting.

Nailhead Trim Adds Western Character

Nailhead trim can be added around the upholstered portions of the stool to emphasize its Western styling.

The decorative nailheads shown here make the design feel especially at home in ranch, saloon, lodge, and Old West-inspired interiors.

Maple Base with a Protective Metal Footplate

The four-leg base is made from maple, with gently flared legs that give the stool a sturdy, grounded appearance.

A solid metal footplate protects the wood footrest from repeated contact with shoes while giving you a comfortable place to rest your feet.

Choose from multiple wood and metal finishes to coordinate this maple swivel bar stool with your cabinetry, flooring, or other furniture.

Customize Your Own Western Bar Stool

The El Dorado II can look dramatically different depending on your selections.

A distressed-looking brown leather and darker wood can push the design toward a traditional saloon bar stool, while cream upholstery and a lighter maple finish can make the same frame feel far less rustic.

That’s one of the reasons we like this design at Barstool Comforts: you can keep the Western character you came for without being locked into one particular color palette.

Built for More Than the Look

The El Dorado II isn’t simply decorative Western furniture.

It’s an upholstered swivel bar stool with a supportive back, padded arms, suspension seating, a protected footrest, and your choice of counter or bar height.

For anyone looking at Western bar stools, western style bar stools, or a distinctive cowboy bar stool, this gives you the visual character of the style along with the comfort needed for everyday seating.
