Swivel Barstool Appraisal

Dark Wood Swivel Barstool with Slat Back

This item is a contemporary wooden barstool, one of a pair, featuring a dark brown, possibly espresso-toned, finish. The physical characteristics include a sturdy wooden frame with four splayed legs that curve subtly outwards towards the base, providing stability. A crescent-shaped footrest, also made of wood, connects the two front legs, showing some visible wear and lighter wood exposure in that area, indicating usage. The seat is round and upholstered in a dark brown, likely faux leather, material, which appears to be well-cushioned and features a swiveling mechanism. A beaded trim circumscribes the top edge of the seat cushion. The backrest is composed of multiple vertical wooden slats, approximately nine to ten visible, set within a shaped top rail and side rails, providing a classic spindle-back design. The overall construction appears to be solid, with standard joinery visible. The finish shows minor signs of scuffing and wear consistent with regular use, particularly on the footrest, but no major damage or structural issues are immediately apparent. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the image. The style suggests a modern traditional or transitional aesthetic, likely manufactured in the late 20th to early 21st century. The quality appears to be consumer-grade furniture, offering a balance of durability and aesthetic appeal for a residential setting.
