The Vortex Counter Height Stool is a masterpiece of modern design -- combining artistry and functionality to bring forth a wood and metal dining stool that's truly unique. The hourglass design of the Dark Pewter tubular steel base not only creates movement and rhythm; it also proves a comfortable and ergonomic seat -- which is further enhanced by ingenious footrests. And the Weathered Walnut finished top features a radial sunburst grain design that complements the circular components of this stool. Some assembly required.
