Know before you buy
Yes, the Benton is designed specifically for counter-height surfaces, which typically measure around 36 inches high. Its total height of 40 inches provides a comfortable scale for standard kitchen counters.
The seat is upholstered in a durable 92% polyester and 8% linen blend. For regular maintenance, we recommend vacuuming with an upholstery attachment and spot-cleaning spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth.
The floating backrest is designed to offer a balance of modern aesthetics and ergonomic support. While it provides a comfortable resting point for your back, the open design is intended for casual, relaxed seating rather than upright task support.
The slim iron frame is finished in a midnight black tone. To protect your floors, we recommend applying felt pads to the base of the legs before use, as the metal frame could scratch hardwood or delicate surfaces.
With a width of 19.75 inches, we recommend allowing at least 6 to 10 inches of space between each stool. This ensures enough room for guests to sit comfortably without feeling crowded.
