Lance Modern Swivel Bar Stool with Mid-High Back and Arms

The Lance brings the supportive feel of a dining chair to the kitchen island with an upholstered back, cushioned seat, and curved metal arms. Its swivel function makes it easy to turn toward the counter or conversation, while the open steel frame keeps the design looking clean and current.

It is a strong choice for anyone looking for bar stools with backs and arms that provide more structure than a low-back or armless stool.

Supportive Mid-High Back

The Lance’s upholstered mid-high back provides more support than a low-back stool without the height or visual presence of a high-back design. It gives you a comfortable place to lean while keeping the stool appropriately scaled for a kitchen island.

Both the seat and back are padded, making the Lance well suited to meals, morning coffee, homework, and longer conversations around the counter.

For shoppers comparing bar stools with backs and arms, the Lance offers chair-like support without looking as large as a fully upholstered bar chair.

Curved Metal Arms

The metal arms sweep gently from the back toward the front of the seat, giving your forearms a natural place to rest. They can also provide additional support while sitting down or standing up.

Because the Lance has full arms, check the height and width beneath your countertop before ordering. You will also want to allow more room between stools than you would for an armless design.

Among swivel bar stools with backs and arms, the Lance has a relatively open frame that keeps the arms from looking too bulky.

Cushioned for Everyday Comfort

The upholstered seat and tall padded back make the Lance one of the more chair-like stools in Amisco’s collection. 

Choose from fabric, performance fabric, or easy-to-clean vinyl based on how your kitchen is used.

At Barstool Comforts, you can request samples to compare color, texture, and cleanability before placing your order.

The Lance is a practical option for shoppers seeking comfortable bar stools with backs and arms, especially when back support is a priority.

Swivel Seating at the Kitchen Island

The swivel seat lets you turn toward the counter, face the adjoining room, or step away without dragging the entire stool across the floor.

Choose the swivel type that suits your space:

• 360-Degree Swivel: Turns freely in either direction and stays where you leave it.
• Memory-Return Swivel: Rotates up to 180 degrees and returns to its forward-facing position after you stand.

Modern Transitional Style

The Lance’s straight upholstered back and slim steel base give it a modern foundation, while the curved arms soften the overall shape. This makes it easy to place in modern, contemporary, and transitional kitchens.

It works especially well with:

• Quartz or stone countertops
• Shaker or flat-panel cabinetry
• Black, silver, or warm metallic hardware
• Upholstered dining chairs nearby
• Open-concept kitchens that need chair-like seating

A black or charcoal frame creates a stronger modern look. Warm metallic finishes and textured neutral upholstery move the Lance in a softer transitional direction.

Strong Steel Frame

The Lance sits on a durable steel base with tapered legs and a circular footrest. The open construction supports the upholstered seat without making the stool appear visually heavy.

The surrounding footrest also gives your feet a comfortable place to rest from different seated positions.

Counter or Bar Height

Choose the seat height that fits your surface:

• Counter Height: For standard kitchen islands and counters approximately 36–37 inches high.
• Bar Height: For counters and home bars approximately 40–42 inches high.

The counter-height model is a distinctive option for shoppers looking for swivel counter stools with backs and arms.

Customize the Lance

The Lance is a supportive, chair-like option for anyone looking for swivel counter stools with backs and arms, a cushioned mid-high back, and comfortable everyday seating.
