Product Details
Where Classic Meets Contemporary.
The C8B1 Classic Contemporary Backless Swivel Stool combines a clean, streamlined design with commercial-grade strength for residential and commercial interiors. Its fully welded frame is constructed from 16-gauge, 1.25-inch tubular steel with solid MIG-welded joints, providing a stable foundation for everyday use. Independently tested to support up to 550 lbs. and meeting applicable ANSI/BIFMA commercial furniture standards, the frame features a durable Black Wrinkle powder-coated finish that helps resist scratches, chips, and rust.
A generously cushioned 4-inch seat features dense, U.S.-made foam designed to retain its shape through everyday use. Choose from commercial-grade vinyl or fabric upholstery in a variety of colors and textures, or customize the seat with Customer’s Own Material (COM). Additional customization allows the seat top, welt or bead, and side band to feature coordinating or contrasting upholstery for distinctive two-tone or multicolor combinations.
The standard S-360 swivel uses 52 encased stainless steel ball bearings to provide smooth, continuous 360-degree rotation, making it easy to turn between the counter and surrounding conversation.
Available in 25-inch counter and 30-inch bar heights, the C8B1 features a compact backless profile and circular footring, making it a versatile seating option for kitchens, home bars, restaurants, lounges, and collaborative workspaces.
Built to order in Holland, Michigan, the C8B1 arrives fully assembled and combines durable welded steel construction, customizable comfort, and contemporary styling for residential and commercial environments.

The C8B1 features a rounded upholstered seat supported by a backless steel frame with gently outward-set legs and a circular footring. Its Black Wrinkle powder-coated finish adds subtle texture and provides a versatile foundation for a variety of upholstery colors and patterns.
The generously cushioned 4-inch seat creates a substantial upholstered profile without overwhelming the stool’s clean silhouette. A single-color seat maintains an understated appearance, while contrasting the seat top, welt or bead, and side band introduces two-tone or multicolor combinations for a more personalized design.
The backless construction keeps sightlines open across kitchens, restaurants, bars, and entertainment spaces. Its compact profile allows the stool to fit beneath many counter overhangs when not in use and makes the seat easy to approach from different directions. This combination of streamlined styling and practical functionality makes the C8B1 adaptable to a variety of residential and commercial interiors.
The C8B1 combines Holland Bar Stool’s signature fully welded steel frame with a backless, contemporary profile and a substantial 4-inch upholstered cushion. Its 16-gauge, 1.25-inch steel construction is independently tested to support up to 550 lbs., while the standard S-360 swivel provides continuous rotation on 52 encased stainless steel ball bearings. The stool is offered in a Black Wrinkle powder-coated frame finish, with upholstery customization extending beyond the seat covering itself: the top, welt or bead, and side band can be coordinated or contrasted. Available in standard 25-inch counter and 30-inch bar heights, the C8B1 arrives fully assembled for indoor residential and commercial use
Clean the Black Wrinkle powder-coated frame with a damp cloth and mild soapy water, then wipe it dry. Avoid steel wool, harsh abrasives, and aggressive chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
For upholstered seats, use a damp cloth with mild soapy water and wipe dry. Use spot removers cautiously, follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions, and test the product in an inconspicuous area first. Address spills promptly and follow any material-specific instructions supplied with the selected upholstery.
Is the C8B1 a swivel stool?
Yes. The C8B1 comes with the S-360 swivel, which provides continuous 360-degree rotation using 52 encased stainless steel ball bearings.
What is the difference between the 25-inch and 30-inch versions?
The 25-inch stool is counter height and is recommended for surfaces approximately 36 to 38 inches high. The 30-inch stool is bar height and is recommended for surfaces approximately 41 to 43 inches high.
How much weight does the C8B1 support?
The C8B1 has been independently tested to support up to 550 lbs. and meets applicable ANSI/BIFMA commercial furniture standards.
Is the stool suitable for restaurants and bars?
Yes. Its fully welded 16-gauge steel frame, commercial-quality swivel, and tested weight capacity make it suitable for many restaurant, bar, hospitality, and other commercial indoor applications.
What upholstery materials are available?
The C8B1 can be ordered with fabric, vinyl, or qualifying Customer’s Own Material through the COM program. These choices allow the seat to coordinate with different colors, furnishings, branding, and project requirements.
Can the seat top be different from the weld or bead on the side band?
Yes. The seat top can use a different available upholstery color or material from the welt or bead and upholstered side band. Buyers can create a coordinated single-color seat, a two-tone combination, or a more distinctive multicolor design.
How large is the seat?
The round seat measures approximately 14.5 inches across and features a substantial four-inch cushioned construction.
Why choose a backless stool?
A backless stool keeps sightlines open and can fit beneath many counter or bar overhangs when not in use. It is useful where a compact footprint and easy access to the seat are priorities.
Does the C8B1 require assembly?
No. The C8B1 arrives fully assembled.
How much room should I allow for each stool?
Approximately two feet of counter length per stool is a comfortable starting point for most Holland Bar Stool seating. Buyers should also account for elbow room, nearby walkways, and adequate clearance around the swivel seat.

The C8B1 is built to order in Holland, Michigan, using commercial-quality materials and carefully selected components sourced from around the world. Each stool is made to order with your selected height and seat upholstery option.
