But if you want more than one? Good luck. This is why I felt preserving the authenticity of the barstools of the past and making them accessible to fine restaurants and bars was important.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many of your questions can be found here.
If you can't find your answer here, contact Luke.
How many color choices do I have?
Henry Ford once said, "You can get it in any color you want as long as it's black." We're not short-sighted like Mr Ford because we want the color you want. We will do our best to closely match your designer's project mood board or your preferred Pantone code. Of course, we also have classic black.
BTW, Henry painted his Model T black for a reason - it dried the fastest.
How long does it take to make a bar stool?
Like quality beer, it generally take 3-5 weeks.
The time it takes for your barstool to go from raw materials to finished and ready to install depends on a number of different factors. We start with ordering the powder coating because that takes at least 2 weeks. Meanwhile, back at the shop we begin with raw casting with an alloy, drill and tap. We ship these to our powder coating shop to meet the arrival of your special order color. We return to the shop to cut the seats, assign the holes to drill and insert, then we stain and finish with waterbase varnish. We use eco-friendly stains and finishes because we don't want ot kill our employees (read: me).
What styles do you have?
For now, we have 2: Seattle Classic and Ballard Roman
How do you ship your bar stools?
We wrap each barstool individually. We can ship up to 36 barstools in a crate that fits onto a pallet. Currently, our two preferred shipping companies are Yellow Freight (YRC) and UPS.
Are the bar stools weather worthy?
The barstool pedestals are weather worthy, the seats are not. Contact Luke if you want to install your barstools outside at the mercy of Mother Nature.
What is the size of your seats?
Our seat are 12.75 Diameter.
How heavy are the bar stools?
They're so heavy that if you ever decide to leave the restaurant business, you could prop your Volkswagon Bus up on one to change the oil.
Our serious answer is 10 lbs.
How do you pack and ship your bar stools?
We box each pedestal individually and 3 seats to a box. We ship our bar stools with UPS.
