Garvee Swivel Counter Height Bar Stools vs Armen Living Gardenia Swivel Counter Stool

The Armen Living Gardenia is the more refined stool: a floating back, slim arms and tapered iron legs, rated for commercial use. The Garvee set is the practical family pick: padded back, bentwood legs and a 300 lb rating, sold in multi-packs. Owners rate the Garvee highly, but its listing contradicts itself on backrest and set size, so confirm what ships. The Gardenia costs more per stool but gives you a sturdier single piece with arms.

• Choose the Garvee if you need several matching stools for a busy household, want a padded back and easy-wipe faux leather, and are fine confirming the exact set and back style before ordering.
• Choose the Armen Living Gardenia if you want one well-built stool with arms, a floating back and commercial-grade iron construction for a kitchen island or home bar.
