Product Details
Bold Chrome, Classic Comfort.
The C8C1 Classic Contemporary Chrome Backless Swivel Stool combines polished styling 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 bright, triple-coated chrome finish that helps resist scratches, chips, and rust while delivering a distinctive polished appearance.
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 C8C1 features a compact backless profile and circular footring, making it a versatile seating option for kitchens, home bars, restaurants, lounges, and collaborative workspaces.

The C8C1 Classic Contemporary Chrome Backless Swivel Stool features a rounded upholstered seat supported by a fully welded steel frame with gently outward-set legs and a circular footring. Its bright, triple-coated chrome finish highlights the frame’s clean geometry, reflecting surrounding light and complementing polished hardware, stainless steel appliances, chrome fixtures, and coordinating table bases.
The generously cushioned 4-inch seat provides a substantial upholstered profile that contrasts with the streamlined chrome base. Black vinyl creates a crisp, classic black-and-chrome combination, while colorful vinyls and patterned fabrics can introduce a more personalized appearance. Coordinating or contrasting the seat top, welt or bead, and side band allows for distinctive two-tone or multicolor designs.
The backless construction keeps sightlines open across kitchens, restaurants, bars, and entertainment spaces without sacrificing visual interest. Its compact profile allows the stool to fit beneath many counter overhangs when not in use, while making the seat easy to approach from different directions. This combination of reflective chrome detailing and practical backless functionality makes the C8C1 a versatile choice for residential and commercial interiors.
The C8C1 brings together Holland Bar Stool’s signature welded steel construction and a bright, triple-coated chrome finish. Its reflective base gives the angled legs and circular footring a defined presence, while the backless profile helps maintain open sightlines and allows the stool to fit beneath many counter overhangs.
The 4-inch cushioned seat can be upholstered in fabric, vinyl, or approved Customer’s Own Material (COM). Available colors and materials can also be combined across the seat top, welt or bead, and side band for coordinated or contrasting designs. A standard S-360 swivel provides continuous rotation, and the fully assembled frame has been independently tested to support up to 550 lbs. for residential and commercial indoor applications.
Wipe the chrome frame with a soft, damp cloth and dry it promptly. Mild soapy water may be used when needed. Avoid steel wool, abrasive pads, harsh cleaners, and aggressive chemicals that could scratch or dull the finish. Keeping the frame dry is particularly helpful in spaces where moisture or humidity may be present.
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 C8C1 a swivel stool?
Yes. The C8C1 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 C8C1 support?
The C8C1 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 C8C1 can be ordered with fabric, vinyl, or qualifying Customer’s Own Material (COM). These choices allow the seat to coordinate with different colors, furnishings, branding, and project requirements.
Can the seat top be different from the welt or bead and side band?

Can the C8C1 be used outdoors?
