There are all kinds of hairpin leg stools available, from those produced as long ago as the 20th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. Hairpin leg stools made by Mid-Century Modern designers — as well as those associated with Art Deco — are very popular at 1stDibs. Some hairpin leg stools are too large for some spaces — a variety of smaller hairpin leg stools, measuring 11.82 inches across, are available at 1stDibs. There have been many well-made hairpin leg stools over the years, but those made by Florence Knoll, Frederick Weinberg and Knoll are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much are Hairpin Leg Stools?

Hairpin leg stools can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $1,200, while the lowest priced sells for $191 and the highest can go for as much as $6,800.

Finding the Right Stools for You

Stools are versatile and a necessary addition to any living room, kitchen area or elsewhere in your home. A sofa or reliable lounge chair might nab all the credit, comfort-wise, but don’t discount the roles that good antique, new and vintage stools can play.

“Stools are jewels and statements in a space, and they can also be investment pieces,” says New York City designer Amy Lau, who adds that these seats provide an excellent choice for setting an interior’s general tone. 

Stools, which are among the oldest forms of wooden furnishings, may also serve as decorative pieces, even if we’re talking about a stool that is far less sculptural than the gracefully curving molded plywood shells that make up Sōri Yanagi’s provocative Butterfly stool. 

Fawn Galli, a New York interior designer, uses her stools in the same way you would use a throw pillow. “I normally buy several styles and move them around the home where needed,” she says.

Stools are smaller pieces of seating as compared to armchairs or dining chairs and can add depth as well as functionality to a space that you’ve set aside for entertaining. For a splash of color, consider the Stool 60, a pioneering work of bentwood by Finnish architect and furniture maker Alvar Aalto. It’s manufactured by Artek and comes in a variety of colored seats and finishes.

Barstools that date back to the 1970s are now more ubiquitous in kitchens. Vintage barstools have seen renewed interest, be they a meld of chrome and leather or transparent plastic, such as the Lucite and stainless-steel counter stool variety from Indiana-born furniture designer Charles Hollis Jones, who is renowned for his acrylic works. A cluster of barstools — perhaps a set of four brushed-aluminum counter stools by Emeco or Tubby Tube stools by Faye Toogood — can encourage merriment in the kitchen. If you’ve got the room for family and friends to congregate and enjoy cocktails where the cooking is done, consider matching your stools with a tall table.

Whether you need counter stools, drafting stools or another kind, explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage stools on 1stDibs.

Questions About Hairpin Leg Stools
  • How much weight will hairpin legs hold?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    Hairpin legs are quite sturdy. The 3/4" variety is suitable for supporting a weight of up to 130 lbs., while 1/2" hairpin legs are suitable for 250 lbs. or more. A small 50-lb. desk that can be easily moved by two people can be supported by 1/2" two-rod legs.
  • How many legs does a milking stool have?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    Milking stools typically have three legs. The reason for this design is that three legs tend to keep stools stabler on uneven ground in barns and pastures. Shop an assortment of milking stools on 1stDibs.
