Boraam Augusta Extra Tall Swivel Bar Stool, 34-Inch Review (2026)

Built for extra tall bars and counters

The Augusta Extra Tall is sized for a 34 inch seat height, well above the roughly 29 to 30 inch height of a standard bar stool, which is what makes it useful for elevated bar setups, raised kitchen islands, or custom counters that standard stools sit too low to reach comfortably. Boraam's own spec sheet lists an overall height around 47 inches with a footprint near 24 inches square, so buyers should measure the counter or bar height carefully before ordering, since a 34 inch seat is too tall for a standard 36 inch counter and is really meant for bars in the 42 to 46 inch range or custom furniture built to that height.

Materials and construction

According to Boraam, the stool is built around a rubberwood frame with a faux leather seat and backrest over a high density foam cushion, along with a metal kickplate style footrest built into the base rather than a simple ring. Rubberwood is a hardwood commonly used in mid priced furniture because it holds up to regular use while keeping weight and cost reasonable compared with premium hardwoods. The stool weighs around 29 lbs per the manufacturer, which is fairly substantial for a single stool and suggests a sturdier build than lighter stackable bar stools, though that same weight also makes it a two person job to move once assembled.

Swivel and everyday comfort

A 360 degree steel ball bearing swivel plate lets the seat rotate freely, which matters more on a tall stool than a short one since getting on and off a 34 inch seat benefits from being able to turn toward the counter rather than climbing straight up. The flared legs double as a footrest at a comfortable height, avoiding the need for a separate footring that some tall stools rely on instead. The faux leather and foam seat gives a padded, chair like feel rather than the harder wood or metal seat found on some tall stool designs, which is a meaningful comfort difference for anyone spending extended time seated at a bar.

Assembly and finish options

The stool ships requiring simple assembly, with Boraam providing an assembly guide and hardware pack, and a downloadable instruction PDF is also available directly from the manufacturer's site for anyone who needs a backup copy. It is offered in black, cappuccino, and cherry finishes, which gives some flexibility to match existing bar or kitchen furniture rather than being locked into one color. Because the finish and materials are consistent across the color options, choosing between them mostly comes down to matching an existing wood tone or metal accent already in the room rather than a difference in build quality between colors.

Who should buy this stool and what to double check

This stool is a good match for anyone who specifically has a bar or counter tall enough to need a 34 inch seat, since that height range is a smaller niche than standard 29 to 30 inch bar stools and not every furniture line offers it. Tall people who find standard bar stools leave their knees uncomfortably high will benefit most. The clearest risk with this purchase is buying it for the wrong counter height, since a stool this tall will feel awkward or unusable at a standard kitchen counter or dining height table, so measuring the exact counter or bar surface before ordering is the single most important step.
