Our take on the West Elm Clyde Leather Stool

The West Elm Clyde Leather Stool is a backless saddle-style stool with a solid wood frame and a leather seat. It is designed for use at a kitchen counter or bar, and its compact, armless shape lets it tuck under most surfaces. Owners often praise its sturdy build and the look of the leather, though some note that the seat is firm and the leather may show wear over time. Compared with upholstered or swivel stools, it offers a simpler, more traditional look and a lower profile.
