Cedar Looks 18" Log Bar Stool

There's a spot in every cabin, kitchen, or covered porch where a regular chair doesn't work. The table is too high, or there's no room to pull a chair back, or the space just needs something that pulls up and gets out of the way when it's not needed. The Cedar Looks 18" Log Bar Stool is the answer to that spot. Solid Northern White Cedar, 18" seat height, simple and honest about what it is.

The 18" height puts the seat at the right level for a standard dining table — the kind of height where you're sitting at the table properly, not perched above it. The smooth cedar surface is comfortable on bare legs in summer and holds up to the wear of daily use without needing to be pampered. It works indoors in a kitchen, outdoors on a covered porch, or in a workshop where someone needs a seat that can take a beating.

Cedar makes it better than alternatives. It's lighter than most hardwoods, which means you can move it easily. It doesn't rot or absorb moisture the way softer woods do, so leaving it out on a damp morning isn't an issue. And the exclusive sanding process makes the surface smooth enough that you don't think about it while you're sitting in it.

About Log Checking

Northern White Cedar is a living wood, and like any character worth knowing, it has quirks. One of those quirks is called "checking" — the natural process where wood releases moisture and develops surface cracks as it settles. These can range from a hairline sliver to a crack running the full length of a log, and here's the important part: they only ever appear on the surface. They have zero impact on the structural strength or integrity of your furniture.

We think checking gives each piece its own fingerprint. No two stools look exactly alike — that's a feature, not a defect.
