Stirrup Leather Saddle Bar Stool

Q: Is this stool the right height and scale for my bar?

The bar-height saddle conversion places the seat 32 inches from the floor, making it appropriate for bar-height surfaces rather than standard kitchen counters. It measures 20 inches wide by 24 inches long, while the pommel reaches 38 inches high and creates a full saddle profile with unmistakable presence.

Q: How does the stool perform in an active entertaining space?

Its hand-built 360-degree swivel construction lets you turn between conversation and bar service without shifting the entire stool. The movement delivers a smooth, responsive turn beneath the saddle, while the stirrups preserve the piece's authentic Western form.

Q: How should I care for the aged leather over time?

Treat the genuine saddle leather as aged, worked material: dust it with a soft dry cloth, blot spills promptly, and keep it away from harsh cleaners, saturation, direct heat, and prolonged sunlight. If conditioning becomes necessary, apply a quality leather conditioner sparingly after testing a discreet area to protect the earned patina and hand-tooled relief.

Q: What handcraftsmanship remains visible in the finished stool?

The leather is carved and tooled by skilled artisans, with its original variations preserved rather than concealed. Because the transformation is completed by hand, natural marks remain part of the finished story, ensuring that no two stools carry precisely the same visual character.

The Runyon's Difference

A retired Western saddle forms the seat, so its wear and hand-tooled detail were earned long before the piece entered the room. That history creates a patina no newly made surface can duplicate, giving this example of authentic saddle seating an identity entirely its own.

Our authentic Stirrup Leather Saddle Bar Stool is the perfect addition to any home. Handcrafted with genuine retired saddles, this stylish seating provides a unique, rustic-chic feel, inspiring nostalgia and comfort.

SMOOTH LEATHER:

Dust and vacuum regularly, working into seams and crevices where grit collects. Wipe with a barely damp cloth and let it dry naturally, away from heat and sunlight. Damp, never wet. Avoid household cleaners, solvents, saddle soap, and household oils, all of which strip or darken the finish. Test any product in a hidden area first. Where the leather is smooth and conditionable, condition roughly every four to six months, and sooner if it starts to feel dry or stiff. Contact us before choosing a cleaner or conditioner for your piece.

TOOLED OR EMBOSSED LEATHER:

Wipe with a damp cloth and dust the pattern or recesses with a soft, dry brush. Do not let liquid product pool in the relief, as it can dry lighter or darker than the surrounding leather. Contact us before treating or conditioning tooled or embossed leather.
