The C8B2C’s flat chrome band defines the lower edge of the cushion, creating a bright horizontal accent above the darker base. Against black vinyl upholstery, the band clearly separates the seat from the frame and draws attention to the stool’s rounded top.
The Black Wrinkle finish adds texture to the legs and footring, while the smooth chrome introduces a reflective detail. Together, these finishes can coordinate with black cabinetry, polished hardware, stainless steel appliances, or chrome accents elsewhere in the room.
The frame’s gently curved legs give the stool a softer outline than a straight-sided base. Its circular footring echoes the round seat, keeping the design cohesive from top to bottom. This combination works well in contemporary kitchens, transitional interiors, and home bars with a restrained diner-inspired influence.
The C8B2C stands apart in the Classic Contemporary lineup through its combination of a Black Wrinkle powder-coated frame, a smooth, flat chrome accent band around the seat’s lower edge, and a 2.5-inch upholstered cushion. The chrome detail is confined to the seat band rather than the entire frame, giving the stool a distinctive two-tone appearance.
Compared with the C8B1 and C8C1, which feature deeper four-inch seats, the C8B2C has a slimmer seat profile. The C8B1 uses a black frame, while the C8C1 uses a chrome frame. These differences give each model a distinct visual character while retaining the practical advantages of a backless swivel stool.
Clean the Black Wrinkle powder-coated frame with a damp cloth and soapy water, then wipe it dry.
For the chrome accent band, use a chrome polish and follow the polish manufacturer’s instructions.
Clean upholstered seats with a damp cloth and soapy water, then wipe dry. Use spot removers cautiously, follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions, and test in an inconspicuous area first. Follow any additional care instructions supplied with the selected upholstery.
What makes the C8B2C different from the C8B1 and C8C1?
The C8B2C combines a Black Wrinkle frame with a flat chrome band beneath a 2.5-inch cushioned seat. The C8B1 and C8C1 have deeper, four-inch upholstered seats. The C8B1 has a black frame, while the C8C1 has a chrome frame.
Is the entire C8B2C frame chrome?
No. The C8B2C has a Black Wrinkle powder-coated frame. The chrome accent is the flat band around the seat’s lower edge, creating its distinctive black-and-chrome appearance.
Is the chrome band ribbed?
No. The C8B2C uses a smooth, flat chrome accent band. This gives the seat a clean outline with a restrained retro influence.
Which height should I choose?
Choose the 25-inch stool for surfaces approximately 36 to 38 inches high. Choose the 30-inch stool for surfaces approximately 41 to 43 inches high. Check the underside of the counter for obstructions that could reduce legroom.
Does the seat swivel all the way around?
Yes. The standard S-360 swivel provides continuous 360-degree rotation using an encased mechanism with 52 stainless steel ball bearings.
Does the seat return to its original position?
The standard S-360 swivel rotates freely and does not automatically return to a starting position.
How large is the seat?
The round seat measures approximately 14.5 inches across and has a 2.5-inch cushioned construction.
Can I choose upholstery other than black vinyl?
Yes. Available seating materials include fabric, vinyl, and customer-owned material through the COM program. Upholstery selection allows the stool to coordinate with surrounding furniture, finishes, or project colors.
Is the C8B2C suitable for restaurants and bars?
Yes. Its welded steel construction, 550 lb. tested capacity, and commercial furniture standards make it suitable for indoor restaurant, bar, and hospitality applications.
Does it require assembly?
