Choosing a Thonet 118 model for your space
Start by identifying the height of the counter or bar where the stools will be used. The 118 SPHT is the counter-height option in this family and measures 40 × 45 × 84 cm overall. The 118 H, 118 MH and 118 SPH are listed at 40 × 46 × 94 cm. Since the stools do not have adjustable seat height, compare the listed dimensions with your layout and the surface people will sit at before selecting a model.
Next, consider how the seating will be used day to day. Upholstery may suit spaces where a cushioned seat is preferred, while the 118 H’s natural cane webbing gives the seat a different texture and appearance. The 118 MH keeps the seat and frame in stained beech, making it the unupholstered wooden option among the four. For upholstered seating, the 118 SPHT is described with fabric upholstery, and the 118 SPH is specified with Step fabric.
Compare the four models
- 118 SPHT: counter-height upholstered stool with stained beech wood, fabric upholstery and plastic glides; overall dimensions are 40 × 45 × 84 cm.
- 118 H: taller stool with a beech frame and natural cane webbing; measures 40 × 46 × 94 cm and has a stated maximum load of 135 kg.
- 118 MH: stained-beech wooden stool with plastic glide inserts; measures 40 × 46 × 94 cm.
- 118 SPH: taller upholstered stool made with stained beech, Step fabric upholstery and replaceable plastic glides; measures 40 × 46 × 94 cm.
Check the details before planning a group
When ordering for a shared space, compare the model dimensions, finish and upholstery across the quantity you need. The 118 SPHT’s overall height differs from the three models listed at 94 cm, so avoid mixing them without checking how the difference will work at your counter or bar. If you need a specific color or finish, confirm the available selection for the particular model rather than assuming every option applies across the collection.
Also consider floor protection and ongoing use. Plastic glides are specified for the 118 SPHT and 118 MH, while the 118 SPH has replaceable plastic glides. If load capacity is important, the supplied family information states 135 kg for the 118 H; verify the relevant specification for other models instead of applying that figure to the whole range. Myntwork offers these Thonet 118 stools on a monthly lease, which can help businesses furnish a space without treating the collection as a one-time purchase. Before choosing, confirm the model, dimensions, finish and any requirements specific to your setting.
