Wells Walnut Bar Stools: Linen Seat, Solid Wood Frame with Beam Reinforcements, Beige or Black
By Furniture1002 min read
The Wells is the mid-century stool in solid wood: a retro frame with beams between the legs, a linen seat and back over thick foam, and a built-in footrest, in beige or black. It is the stool for a kitchen that already has walnut in it.
What it is
A set of two upholstered counter stools with a solid wood frame, reinforced with beams, and a seat and backrest in breathable linen filled with thick foam. There is a built-in footrest. The product page pitches it for industrial kitchens and vintage home bars, and does not state the seat height, so measure your counter against the listing.
Who it suits
A kitchen or home bar in a mid-century or vintage scheme, with wood already doing the talking. The beam reinforcements are the reason to trust a wooden stool for daily use: they are what keeps the joints tight when the legs lever against each other every time someone climbs on.
Beige or black
Beige is the natural pairing with the wood and reads as mid-century. Black is sharper, hides more, and suits black taps and handles. Frame, foam and footrest are the same.
Wells or Henley
Both are wooden-legged Scandi stools in pairs. The Henley has a wraparound back and a matching dining chair; the Wells has a straight back, linen, and the beam-braced frame. Choose on whether you want the matching chair or the sturdier frame.
Living with it
Vacuum the linen with a soft brush; blot spills. Dust the wood and check the beam bolts after the first month.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Wells made of?
The product page states a solid wood frame with beam reinforcements, a linen fabric seat and backrest filled with thick foam, and a built-in footrest.
What are beam reinforcements?
Horizontal bars between the legs, below the seat. A bar stool is tall and narrow, so the legs lever against each other every time someone sits; the beams stop that working the joints loose over years.
What is the seat height?
The product page does not state it, so check the listing against your worktop before ordering.
Is linen practical on a stool?
It breathes and it hides small marks in its texture. Vacuum with a soft brush and blot spills. It suits a stool that is sat on for meals rather than one in the splash zone.
Beige or black?
Beige is the natural, mid-century pairing with the walnut frame. Black is sharper and hides more, and suits a kitchen with black taps or handles.
