SohoConcept Furniture Cattelan Piston Half Footrest Stool

• Ergonomic Wood Seat & Backrest: Expertly contoured to provide essential support while highlighting the natural beauty of wood grain.
• Solid Steel Construction: The base and piston are crafted from high-grade steel for professional-level structural integrity.
• Half Footrest Design: Includes a sturdy, integrated footrest that enhances comfort without adding visual bulk.

• Versatile Material Finishes: Choose from a wide range of wood finishes (including Walnut, Ash, and Teak) and base finishes (including Polished or Brushed Stainless Steel).

Benefits

• The primary benefit of the Cattelan Piston Stool is its "dynamic adaptability." Because the seat height is fully adjustable between 20.5" and 31", it eliminates the need to choose between a counter-height or bar-height model—it functions perfectly for both. The wood seat provides a warm, tactile feel that is more comfortable for long-term sitting than standard metal or plastic alternatives. Additionally, the heavy steel base is engineered with a weighted bottom to prevent tipping, ensuring a safe and secure experience for all users.

Why Choose This Product

Best Features

• Whisper-Quiet Adjustment: The premium gas piston operates smoothly without the jerky movements or noise found in lower-quality models.
• Customizable Aesthetic: The vast array of finish combinations (wood vs. metal) allows you to tailor the stool to match any existing decor palette.
• Compact Footprint: The 15-inch width allows you to fit more stools along a counter without the space feeling crowded.
• Commercial Suitability: Specifically designed to withstand the rigorous demands of restaurant and bar environments.
• Protective Base Rim: The base is designed to sit flat and minimize friction, protecting your hardwood or tile floors from scratches.

Buying Guide

• Measure Your Counter: For a standard 36" counter, set the stool to approximately 24". For a 42" bar, adjust to 30".
• Select Your Shape: The Round base offers a softer, more fluid look, while the Square base emphasizes a more rigid, architectural aesthetic.
• Maintenance Tip: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the wood seat and a stainless steel cleaner for the base to maintain its high-gloss or brushed finish.
• Assembly Note: The seat and base are typically shipped separately to ensure safety; assembly is straightforward and involves securing the seat to the piston.
• Styling Advice: Pair the walnut seat with a brushed stainless steel base for a "warm modern" look, or go with the black seat and base for a bold, monochromatic industrial vibe.
