Know before you buy
It is designed for both. With a seat height of 17 inches, it functions comfortably as extra seating for guests or as a footrest paired with the matching CHALLENGE lounge chair.
Japanese Oak is a dense, durable hardwood that accepts a wide variety of stains, ranging from light washes to black. Walnut offers a richer, darker natural grain pattern and is available in natural or dark brown finishes.
Despite its lightweight, portable design, the stool is constructed with a solid wood frame engineered for strength and longevity. It is stable enough for regular use as a seat, though its light weight makes it easy to reposition as needed.
The stool is upholstered in genuine leather, which is a durable, high-quality material that develops a unique patina over time. It is well-suited for daily use in living rooms or lounge areas.
The CHALLENGE Stool is made-to-order and typically arrives fully assembled. Because it is a finished piece of furniture, you can begin using it immediately once it is unpacked.
No, the CHALLENGE Stool is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor humidity, direct sunlight, and temperature fluctuations can damage the solid wood frame and leather upholstery.
