The Verdict
At 24 in seat height, the Furmax 24 is a backless swivel bar stool for counter or bar use where you want to turn without shifting your whole body. It scores 7.0 for Comfort, but limited back support means you may feel it during long sits.
Who it's for: Buyers who want backless seating in a kitchen or bar area and value easier access from a swivel accept that lumbar support is minimal.
Who should skip it: People who sit for long stretches and depend on back support should look for a stool with a backrest, since this one stays backless.
In-Depth Review
Comfort
Furmax lands at a 7.0 Comfort score, which fits the template line for “Supportive for long sits.” The seat is described as leather, and the model uses a 24 in seat height. That height matters for comfort. It keeps your thighs in a more natural angle at a typical bar or counter.
But comfort comes with a trade-off. This is a backless stool. The back style is listed as Backless, and the review notes “No/limited back support.” Without lumbar help, people usually sit more upright. You may need to take small posture breaks during longer meals or laptop sessions.
The swivel helps comfort indirectly. When you can turn without twisting your hips, you shift pressure points more easily. That reduces the feeling of being locked in one position, even if you do not get back support.
Build Quality
With a 7.2 Build Quality score, the Furmax stool sits in the “Solid assembly, no creaks” range. The listed construction uses a metal frame plus PU leather. The material entry is given as Leather, and the frame is explicitly metal.
The stated load limit gives another clue about build intent. The stool lists a maximum load capacity of 280 lb. That is a real number, and it suggests the frame and seat base are designed to handle heavier users without feeling fragile.
Assembly is also part of build quality in this segment. This model is sold as a two-pack set and uses a swivel top. In daily use, the main thing to watch is whether the swivel ring stays aligned and does not introduce wobble. The stool’s comfort and stability are both affected by how well the hardware stays tight over time.
Stability
At 7.7 Stability, Furmax lands in “Secure footing and feel.” The swivel type is listed as Swivel, and that is where stability can make or break the experience. A swivel stool must stay planted as you turn, and you should not feel any tipping risk when you shift your stance.
The base height range also matters for stability. The stool adjusts from 22.4 to 33.4 inches. When the seat sits right for your bar height, your feet land more evenly. That improves balance, especially for backless stools where you do not lean into a backrest.
Even with a stable base, swivel movement changes how you enter and exit. The 7.7 stability score assumes the stool feels secure when you get on and off. In practice, the safest habit is to turn the seat first and then step in. This reduces awkward twisting and helps you keep your center of gravity over the base.
Function
Function scores 7.8, which maps to “Reliable height for bars” and the practical side of the stool. The seat height is listed as 24 in, and the height adjustment range is 22.4 to 33.4 inches. That range covers more than one counter height, which makes the stool more useful across different kitchens and bars.
Swivel is the key functional win here. The stool is listed as having 360 degree swivel, and the mini-review calls out “Swivel for easy access.” This matters for backless seating. You can reach across a counter, grab items, or talk to someone without twisting your torso as much.
The stool also supports a wider range of users thanks to the 280 lb weight capacity. In day-to-day use, that translates to less worry about the seat bottom or frame under normal sitting and turning. Function depends on how smooth that movement feels, and swivel adds value even when you are not adjusting height.
Value
Furmax scores 8.2 for Value, which matches the “Worth it for the quality” template. The numbers support that claim. The stool uses a leather-type seat material, runs on a metal frame, and rates to 280 lb maximum load. Those are concrete inputs tied to durability and daily comfort.
You also get swivel function plus adjustable height. The seat height starts at 24 in, and the adjustment range hits 22.4 to 33.4 inches. That combination means fewer workarounds when your bar height does not match the standard 24 in setup.
Still, value depends on expectations. Comfort is mid range at 7.0, and the big limitation is “No/limited back support.” If you need lumbar support for long stretches, this backless design will feel less efficient than a stool with a defined backrest. For buyers who want swivel movement and a simple look, the value score makes sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the seat height of the Furmax 24 swivel bar stools?
The Furmax 24 seat height is 24 inches. Because it is adjustable height, you can fine tune it for your bar or counter setup as long as the mechanism reaches your target height.
How much weight can the Furmax 24 swivel bar stools hold?
The weight capacity is 280 lb. If you sit near the top end of the rating, use the stool on a flat, hard surface for the most stable feel.
Does this stool have back support since it is backless?
It is backless, so you should not expect usable back support for long periods. If you lean back while sitting, comfort may depend on your posture and the surface you use for your legs and feet.
Will the swivel function help when multiple people need access to the bar?
Yes, it swivels, which can make it easier to turn toward the table or bar without lifting your feet. This is useful in tight spaces where people need to slide in and out quickly.
What material is the seat on the Furmax 24?
The stool is made with leather as the material. Leather usually cleans best with a soft, slightly damp cloth, but you should avoid soaking it and use a gentle cleaner if needed.
Is the Furmax 24 good for everyday use in a kitchen counter setting?
It can work well at counters and bars around bar height because the seat height starts at 24 inches and adjusts from there. Keep in mind the backless design, and consider whether you need a backrest for extended sitting.
Final Verdict
Furmax 24 is a solid choice for counter and bar use when you want easy on off access. The swivel makes it practical for tight spaces. Comfort and build both land in a good range for the money, and it feels steady. The main drawback is limited back support, so longer sitting may feel less supported.
If you prefer backless seating and will pair it with good posture, this stool makes everyday use feel smooth and secure. If that matches your kitchen, this is a sound pick.
