Seat upholstery. Faux leather is the entry option. PPM and PPM-FR are polyurethane performance leathers; velvet, boucle and Camira Era are upholstery fabrics. Camira Blazer is a pure new wool, and full-grain leather is the top tier. Screens show color slightly differently than real life.

Leg finishes

The Pera Balat is the four-leg Pera stool: the sprung bucket seat rides on splayed tubular steel legs joined by a footrest bar, at counter or bar height. Four separate legs give a planted, classic bar-stool stance that suits busy restaurant counters as much as a home kitchen island. Pick chrome, brushed stainless steel, black with a stainless footrest, or brass with a matching brass footrest. Each leg is tipped with a plastic glide, and the seat's steel frame with S-shaped springs sits under a removable Velcro slipcover.

Care

Wipe faux leather and PPM with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Vacuum fabric seats regularly and blot spills right away. Wipe the metal base with a soft, dry cloth; skip abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, which dull plated and powder-coated finishes. Leather and fabric vary slightly in shade from batch to batch.
