Product Description
The Darafeev El Dorado Maple Upholstered Swivel Bar Stool with Arms has the presence of a leather club chair. A broad 25 1/2” seat, padded arms and a row of nailhead trim give it a classic, Western-ranch character. Instead of a round footring, the El Dorado stands on four sturdy maple legs crossed with X-style stretchers, a detail that makes it a standout at a home bar or in a game room.
Built Like a Fine Chair Frame
Darafeev began in 1959 making hardwood chair frames for other furniture makers, and that experience shows in the El Dorado’s shaped arms and braced base. Choose your nailhead finish to dress it up or keep it understated.
Handcrafted from Solid Maple
Each El Dorado is built to order from solid maple and finished by hand in Darafeev’s Southern California factory. Choose from more than two dozen maple finishes, from light Dune and Ledge Rock to rich Espresso, Matte Black and hand-distressed tones.
Comfort That Lasts
The 3 1/2” seat pairs high-resiliency foam with suspension seating, and the upholstery is pulled tight so the cushion keeps its shape through years of daily use.
Smooth 360° Swivel
A smooth 360° swivel makes it easy to turn toward the conversation or step away from the counter. Prefer a tidier look? Choose the optional memory-return swivel, which turns the seat back to face forward when you get up.
Customized for Your Space
Upholster the seat and back in Darafeev fabric, Crypton performance fabric, vinyl, or genuine leather in two grades, then choose your nailhead trim finish. Swatches for every option are shown below.
Counter or Bar Height
Choose 26” counter height for standard 36” kitchen counters, or 30” bar height for 42” bars.
