Bruno Counter Stool - Try it at home

Ordering furniture online is hard. We strive to be the shop around the corner worldwide. Therefore we have a couple of alternatives to make sure you know what you are buying and feel safe about your purchase.

Order samples

Our first recommendation is to order samples of the materials you are unsure of. Testing the colors and quality of them at home is always the best when buying furniture.

Order a test piece

Secondly we offer you the service of ordering a test piece. This is so you can test the comfort and build at home. Start by ordering one (1) Bruno Counter Stool.

If you like it you simply order the rest you need.

If you don't feel it lives up to your standard you simply send us an email (info@by-crea.com) or chat with us and we will help you return it, with a 100% free return, free of charge.

Note - we don't honour 100% free return if you order the incorrect height for bar stools or if you want to return to order another color. That's why we offer free samples and guide you to the right height via chat or mail.

Feel the materials before you decide. Order samples of the finishes used on this product.

Description

Most stools ask you to choose from what exists. Bruno Design Your Own starts from a beige powder-coated steel frame with backrest, armrests and integrated footrest, and lets you build the rest: a cushion in vegan leather, bouclé or velvet across the full color range, sewn armrest covers or bare steel, in counter height (26 in / 66 cm), bar height (30 in / 76 cm) or any height you enter yourself.

Every choice renders live in 3D, your fabric on your frame, before anything is built. Because each made-to-order Bruno is welded and upholstered in Malmö, a custom counter or bar stool with armrests is a configuration, not a compromise, and the result is a combination only you have.

Each stool is an original by Crea, designed by Alexandra Pettersson and fully welded from raw Swedish steel, and it arrives fully assembled. Rated for up to 440 lb and covered by our 10-year warranty, it is built to be repaired rather than replaced, with spare cushions and parts available long after purchase. Choose 26 in for counters of 35 to 36 in, 30 in for bars of 39 to 40 in, or set your own height. Made to order in our Malmö factory and shipped within 10 to 15 business days.

“Bruno carries my father's name. He worked in our family's factory his whole life, and like him this stool is firm, steady and built to last.”

FAQ

The same rule applies as for any stool: 26 in (66 cm) seats suit standard 36 in counters, and 30 in (76 cm) seats suit bars 40-42 in high. Keep 9-12 in between seat and countertop; custom heights are available via Design Your Own.

Yes, especially for longer sitting: armrests take the weight off your shoulders and make it easier to sit down and stand up. Bruno is our only steel bar stool with armrests, combined with an integrated backrest and footrest.

The seat upholstery is tailored and fixed to the stool. On two-tone versions, the leather armrest covers close with a sewn zipper and can be ordered as spare parts.

Wipe the upholstery with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth, and the powder-coated frame with a damp cloth. The vegan leather has an easy-clean protective finish and is rated to 300,000 Martindale.

Allow 22-24 in of width per stool so the armrests never touch, and leave a couple of inches of clearance between the armrests and the counter edge when the stool is tucked in.

Yes. Order free material samples, or a single stool with free returns, and test it at your own counter before deciding.

Bruno is named after our founder Alexandra Pettersson's father, who spent his working life in the family's steel factory. Every Bruno is made in our own factory in Malmö, Sweden, with a 10-year warranty.
