Howard Miller insisted on perfection, quality and incomparable workmanship when he founded his company 1926, at the age of 21. He understood the need to create products that were nothing less than the best. Under those strict conditions he allowed his name to be used on many fine clocks.

Clocks?

Are we not talking about barstools? Yes, we are. But Howard Miller’s vision expanded into the manufacture of mantel clocks and grandfather clocks, which meant working with wood.  This lead to the making of fine furniture pieces, starting with cabinets  for displaying heirlooms, made from glass and hardwoods. Later the company he founded  incorporated several lines of elegant dinning tables, chairs, wine-racks, bar tables and some of the most exquisite handcrafted wood bar stools. In order to facilitate his expanding furniture empire, the original company acquired three other companies: the Hekman Furniture Company with its fine metals and exotic woods, the Woodmark Company which specialized in upholstery and the Kieninger Company of Germany.

Today Howard Miller is well-known for offering high-end wedding, anniversary and retirement gifts. However, if you appreciate quality furniture and your decor is classic-elegant or based on the richness of  traditional hardwood, I suggest considering adding a few pieces to your lounge, den, home bar or living room. Notice that the maximun weight capacity for each barstool is set at 300 lbs. While you or your guests may not weigh that much, it is an indication of quality and durability which many modern bar stools do not offer.

The attention to detail on each of the stools – the carved backs and legs, the lustrous lacquered finishes, the rich upholstery tones and the overall air – stems from Mr Miller’s original quest for perfection.
