Wesley Modern Upholstered Swivel Bar Stool with Wood Back

The Wesley combines clean modern lines with the comfort of a padded seat and back. Its slender steel frame keeps the design streamlined, while the wood accent on the back introduces warmth and a distinctive mixed-material look.

Shown here in black, this modern swivel bar stool can be customized in a wide range of upholstery, wood, and metal finishes to suit your kitchen.

Comfortable Mid-Back Support

The upholstered mid-back provides a supportive place to lean without rising too far above the kitchen island. It offers more comfort than a low-back or backless design while maintaining an open view across the counter.

For shoppers comparing modern counter stools with backs, the Wesley strikes a comfortable balance between support and a clean, uncluttered profile.

Its padded seat and back give it the more substantial, chair-like feel people often look for in comfortable bar chairs, but without the bulk of a fully upholstered frame.

Wood Back Detail

A wood panel on the back adds contrast to the upholstered front and steel base. It is a subtle detail, but it makes the Wesley feel warmer and more interesting than a stool made entirely from metal and fabric.

Coordinate the wood with your cabinetry or flooring, or choose a contrasting finish that draws attention to the back when the stools are lined up along the island.

Open Back for Easier Cleanup

The opening between the seat and back keeps the stool from appearing too heavy. It also makes everyday cleanup easier, since crumbs can be brushed through the opening rather than becoming trapped where the seat and back meet.

The space also provides a convenient place to grip the stool when pulling it away from the counter.

Smooth Swivel Movement

The swivel seat makes it easy to turn toward the counter, face the adjoining room, or step away without repeatedly dragging the stool across the floor.

This added flexibility makes the Wesley a practical swivel bar stool with a back for open kitchens where dining, cooking, and conversation happen in the same space.

Cushioned for Everyday Comfort

The Wesley’s generously padded seat and upholstered back make it more inviting than a stool with hard wood or exposed metal seating.

As a padded swivel bar stool, it is comfortable for:

• Everyday meals at the island
• Morning coffee
• Homework or working at the counter
• Casual entertaining
• Longer conversations in the kitchen

The straight, tailored cushions give it a polished appearance without making the design feel formal.

Modern Style in Any Color

Although the Wesley looks especially sharp among black bar stools, black is only one option. You can create a softer look with cream, taupe, gray, or muted upholstery, or introduce color with blue, green, rust, or another richer shade.

Pair it with:

• Flat-panel or Shaker cabinetry
• Quartz or stone countertops
• Black, brushed-metal, or brass hardware
• Modern and transitional kitchens
• Open-concept dining spaces

A black frame and dark upholstery create a bold contemporary look. Lighter upholstery, natural wood, and champagne or silver metal finishes give it a warmer, more relaxed direction.

Counter or Bar Height

Choose the seat height that fits your surface:

• Counter Height: The 26-inch seat is recommended for kitchen islands and counters approximately 36–37 inches high.
• Bar Height: The 30-inch seat is recommended for counters and home bars approximately 40–42 inches high.

Customize the Wesley

The Wesley is a strong choice for shoppers seeking high-quality bar stools with modern styling, cushioned support, smooth swivel movement, and the warmth of a wood accent.
