Deep-Seated Quality and Comfort

Stands Up to Tough Use

This rugged stool is built with durability in mind. The tough metal frame sports a matte black powder-coat finish that's not only stylish, but also resists rust and nicks for years of performance. The heavy-duty 275lb. weight capacity is strong enough to accommodate most people who need to take a load off their feet.

Comfort That Conforms to the User

All bodies are NOT created equal, so you need a chair that can adjust to maximize your comfort. That's why the padded 360° swiveling vinyl seat on this stool is teamed with an adjustable padded backrest that can be raised or lowered to the perfect position. The backrest can even be removed altogether if desired. The seat height adjusts, too, from 29in. to 33in.H, with the easy one-hand hydraulic lever control.

Ringed With Convenience

Sturdy top and bottom rings encircle the frame of this stool. The top ring sits 17in.H and provides structural stability. The larger bottom ring sits 8.5in.H and serves as the ideal footrest that is always in the perfect position, even when you swivel on the stool.

Gentle On Your Floor

Even though this stool is built with sturdy performance in mind, each of the four legs is capped with a soft rubber foot that gently prevents scratches and damage to your floor.
