HAY Soft Edge Counter-Height Bar Stool
The HAY Soft Edge Counter-Height Bar Stool is a fixed-height stool for people furnishing a kitchen counter. Its defining combination is a lacquered-oak seat and chromed-steel base, bringing contrasting wood and metal materials together in a compact counter-seating design. The stool supports up to 135 kg and has standard gliders.
Soft Edge Stool Design
The lacquered-oak seat gives the stool a wood surface, while its chromed-steel base adds a distinct metallic finish. This material pairing helps buyers coordinate the stool with interiors that already use wood, steel or both, without relying on upholstery to set the look.
The supplied configuration is listed with a green lacquered-oak seat and chromed-steel base. Product data also lists other seat color families, including black, red, grey, white and beige, and base colors including silver, black, red and grey; check the chosen configuration to confirm its finish.
Counter-Height Seating Fit
This HAY counter-height bar stool is identified as low and suitable for a kitchen counter, making it a relevant choice for counter seating rather than a conventional high bar setup. Its fixed seat height is not adjustable, so check that the counter and stool suit the people who will use them before selecting it.
The stool has no armrests, and the seat depth and back height are not adjustable. It is therefore best suited to buyers who want a straightforward stool rather than a chair with adjustable fit features, lumbar support or a headrest. Those details matter if the seat will be used for extended periods or if several people of different heights will share it.
For a kitchen counter, the Soft Edge design provides a dedicated place to sit while keeping the choice focused on a stool format. Consider the counter height and the intended seating routine first: the product information gives no adjustable features to adapt the stool after installation or between users.
HAY Bar Stool Details
Standard gliders are included, so the stool arrives with the listed floor-contact components rather than requiring a separate glider selection. The base is steel, and the seat is lacquered oak; these material details help you compare it with other counter stools by construction and finish, not just by color.
The stated maximum load is 135 kg, giving a clear capacity reference when assessing suitability. The product is marked as circular and includes a two-year warranty. Together, these are useful points to consider when choosing a HAY stool for a kitchen counter, especially if material selection, product information and warranty coverage are part of your buying decision.
