Features

Meet the Mercer—a contract-grade bar stool with its priorities straight. The tall upholstered back and generously cushioned seat bring comfort to the table, while the clean-lined wood frame keeps the look tailored and versatile.

Ready for the Dinner Rush

This contract-grade upholstered wood bar stool pairs a tall, supportive back with a generously cushioned seat, giving guests a comfortable place to settle in—not just perch until the check arrives.

Its clean-lined frame and simple rectangular back give Mercer a transitional look that works across a wide range of interiors.

It feels refined without being fussy, making it an easy fit for restaurants, hotels, country clubs, cafés, kitchen islands, and home bars.

A Built-In Handhold That Pulls Its Weight

A discreet handhold is integrated into the back, making the Mercer bar stool easier to pull away from the counter, reposition, or move when the room needs a quick reset.

It stays neatly tucked into the design, so you get the convenience without disrupting the clean upholstered look.

Upholstery That Works for the Room

Choose from a wide selection of fabrics and easy-care vinyls to create the right look for your space. Performance upholstery is especially useful in active dining areas, where spills, frequent use, and the occasional runaway appetizer are all part of the job.

Go neutral for a tailored, understated look, or use color and pattern to give Mercer a little more personality.

A Fixed Seat with Fewer Complications

Mercer is a non-swivel bar stool, so the seat stays securely in place. That means fewer moving parts, less maintenance, and no stools left facing sideways after every guest gets up.

The fixed design also helps maintain a neat, orderly appearance along restaurant bars, counters, and kitchen islands.

Made for Busy Spaces

Contract-grade construction gives Mercer the durability needed for commercial environments, while its comfortable proportions make it just as appealing at home.

A metal footrest protector adds reinforcement to one of the hardest-working parts of the stool, helping guard the footrest against shoes and everyday wear.

From breakfast service to last call, Mercer is designed to stay comfortable, look polished, and handle a full schedule.

Made of Lightweight Aluminum

This design is made of lightweight aluminum, allowing you to easily alter its appearance. Choose between a powder-coated metal finish or a wood-grain style, offering the flexibility to match any decor.

Advanced Wood-Grain Technology

Using advanced technology and a 3-step heat transfer process, our wood-grain option authentically mimics the look and feel of real wood.

Benefits to this:

  • Durability — Aluminum is highly resistant to weathering, rust, and corrosion, making it more durable than wood, especially in high-traffic or outdoor environments.
  • Lightweight — Aluminum is much lighter than wood, making it easier to handle, transport, and install.
  • Eco-Friendly — Aluminum is recyclable, which can be a more sustainable choice compared to some types of wood that may contribute to deforestation.
  • Consistent Appearance — The 3-step heat transfer process ensures a uniform wood-like appearance, avoiding the natural imperfections and variations found in real wood. This consistency can be important for maintaining a cohesive look.
  • Fire Resistance — Aluminum is non-combustible and offers better fire resistance than wood, adding an extra layer of safety in commercial applications.

Molded Foam Cushions

Durable High-Density Foam

Our high-density molded foam cushions provide superior durability, resisting sagging and shrinking unlike standard foam. Soft to the touch, these cushions reliably spring back to their original shape after each use.

Enhanced Protection and Longevity

The molded foam completely encases the sides of the wood panel inside the seat, preventing direct contact between the material and the wood. This design ensures a safe touch and extends the lifespan of your upholstery by preventing wood splintering, which is a common cause of frayed or torn material.

Standard and Optional Upgrades

Standard on all IH Seating chairs, this specially formulated emission-free, highly resilient urethane foam offers exceptional comfort and meets the flammability requirements of CAL #117. An optional upgrade is available to meet CAL #133 standards.
