Stool Design

Bar and counter stools: a round or square seat at the height your counter needs, on legs you can splay and taper, with a footrest ring between them.

How stools are designed

  1. Open Custom furniture

    In the editor, open Furnish and choose Custom furniture, or type CUSTOM (CF). The presets open, by kind.

  2. Place it

    Pick a stool, then click where it goes, at the island or the counter.

  3. Shape it

    Change the seat's shape, size and height, the legs, their splay and the footrest.

  4. Get the cut sheet

    The cut sheet counts every board and nests it on stock sheets, with the edge tape, timber and hardware.

Stools questions, answered.

How tall can a stool be?

From 0.4 to 0.8 m to the seat, from a low stool to a bar stool.

Can a stool have a footrest?

Yes. A footrest ring runs between the legs, on or off.

Can I get a cutting list?

Yes. The cut sheet lists the boards, nests them on a stock sheet size you choose, and adds up the edge tape, timber, hardware and machining.
