Know before you buy
With a seat height of 27 inches, this stool is designed for standard kitchen counters, which are typically 36 inches high. It provides enough legroom for most adults to sit comfortably.
The velvet is a blend of polyester, cotton, and latex. We recommend spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent or a professional upholstery cleaner to maintain the fabric's texture and color.
No, the knife-edge seat cushion is permanently attached to the frame. This ensures the stool maintains its tailored, clean look without the cushion shifting during use.
The stool arrives partially assembled. While the base is sturdy and constructed from solid oak and plywood, you will need to perform some final assembly steps to secure the seat to the frame.
The cushion is engineered with high-density foam, providing a supportive, medium-firm feel. It is designed to offer long-term comfort without losing its shape over time.
The natural gray finish is a neutral, versatile tone that bridges the gap between warm and cool wood palettes. It is designed to complement a wide range of interior styles rather than clashing with existing wood furniture.
