Ivory Wei Barstool

A dark wooden shell hugs a pale cushion in one smooth curve.

The Wei Barstool is contemporary, from the Primitive Collection, in stained oak, ivory and leather. Stained oak gives a dense, even grain that holds a deep finish well, which is why it has long been favored for chairs that see daily use. The curved back sweeps around to form low arms at each side, wrapping an ivory leather seat. Square tapered legs in a dark stain are linked by gently bowed stretchers, and a polished metal bar runs across the front. It is 15 inches long, 19 deep and 34.25 high.

The kind of stool that makes staying for another round seem reasonable.
