How to choose the right Totem bar stool
Start with counter height
Measure the counter or high table and compare it with the stool’s listed seat height. The 65 cm models are described as counter-height, while the 75 cm models are the higher option. Because seat height is not adjustable, consider the height of the surface and the legroom beneath it together. If the stools will be used at more than one counter, check each location rather than assuming one height will suit every area.
Consider how the stools will be used
For a shared kitchen or a space where people sit for longer periods, an upholstered seat may be the preferred direction. For a simpler material expression, consider the wood-seat option. The family also includes versions with wood or FSCo bases. The collection lists a range of upholstery colors and black or beige base colors, but not every finish is necessarily offered on every model, so use the individual listing to confirm the exact combination.
Check the details for your project
These are armless stools with no seat-height or other adjustment mechanism. That makes the basic choice easier, but it also means the chosen seat height and format should work for the intended users. Think about how many stools the space needs, how often they will be used, and whether a coordinated look across multiple counters matters more than mixing finishes.
The collection attributes list a maximum ballast of 135 kg, a two-year warranty, and BS 5852 Crib 5 fire resistance. Confirm the relevant specifications against the particular model before placing an order, especially when requirements apply to a commercial project. The listed upholstery materials include fabric and leather, as well as wood and no-upholstery options; check the model information for the seat material and finish you need.
Plan the selection and leasing
Before finalizing a group, compare the selected Totem models side by side: first by 65 cm or 75 cm height, then by upholstered or wood seat, and finally by base and color details. Where different stool heights or finishes are being considered for one space, verify that each is suited to its intended counter and that the overall combination meets the project brief.
Myntwork offers NORR11 Totem stools on a monthly lease. Review the model specifications and finish availability for your preferred configuration, then consider how the number and mix of stools will support the space over time.
