Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for everyday use?
Yes. The frame is fabricated from hot-rolled steel, hand-selected for grain and character, and finished to restaurant-grade standards built for all-day use. These are working pieces, not decorative ones.
What steel finish options are available?
Natural patina is shown as standard. Black patina and painted finishes are available and finalized during the commission process.
Can I specify the seat height or dimensions?
Yes — seat height and overall dimensions are adjustable to your counter or bar height. Details are finalized during your commission conversation.
Are upholstered seat options available?
Yes. Upholstered seats in leather and other materials are available on select models. Upholstery direction is discussed during the commission process.
What is the lead time?
Lead times are typically 12 weeks or more from deposit, depending on configuration. Your specific timeline is confirmed at the start of your commission.
How is it delivered?
Standard delivery is freight curbside. White glove service — inside placement, unpacking, and full assembly — is available; delivery method is confirmed during your commission conversation.
I’ve seen something that looks exactly like this on another site. Is it the same piece?
No. Vintage Industrial designs have been copied extensively since 2009, primarily by Asian manufacturers selling through direct-from-China storefronts. The pieces look similar in photos but weigh a quarter of what ours do — they’re not designed to last, they’re designed to sell at a cheap price. Vintage Industrial sells direct only, through retro.net. We have no other sales channels, no third-party retailers, no Amazon storefront. If you’re seeing something like this anywhere else, it’s a counterfeit. Every Vintage Industrial piece is built to order in our Chicago shop by hand, from hot-rolled steel and solid hardwood, with a 12+ week lead time.
