ABOUT US
Based in Lynden, Washington and owned by Charles “Luke” Lukey and his wife Dana, Taken Barstools continues the American tradition of hand-crafting cast metal, bolt-down barstools.
“We bought the business in 2016 from a gentleman in Oregon who was retiring, and since then, we have continued to grow,” said Lukey. “Today we have customers everywhere, ranging from large chains to small bars and private homes.”
Taken Barstools are made from cast aluminum alloy based on barstool designs of yesteryear, complete with a solid oak wood seat.
Apart from a few fasteners, every Taken Barstool is engineered, sourced, and finished in the United States.
Taken’s most popular barstool is the Seattle Classic, which can be customized for height, base color, seat stain color, finish and more.
In addition to the square base Seattle Classic, Taken Barstools also offers a more rounded Art Nouveau style – the Ballard Roman, which is popular with ice cream parlors and family restaurants.
“It’s exciting to see something you’ve worked so hard on begin to take root and grow,” says Luke. “Dana and I were not sure what we were getting ourselves into when we bought the business, and it’s been an interesting journey so far.
We are proud to be helping continue the tradition of American craftsmanship and excellence with our barstools and are pleased that we have so many happy customers who feel the same way.”
