Know before you buy
The Melbourne Counter Height Stool features a fixed seat height of 27 inches. This is standard for most kitchen islands and counters that measure between 35 and 39 inches in height.
Because this is genuine, hand-washed cowhide, it is naturally durable. We recommend wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding direct sunlight or harsh chemicals to maintain the leather's texture and color over time.
The base is constructed from sturdy reclaimed iron, which is quite heavy. To protect your flooring, we recommend applying felt pads to the bottom of the legs before placing the stool in your space.
The stool weighs 26.18 lbs, which provides a substantial, grounded feel. The iron construction ensures it remains stable and secure during use without feeling flimsy.
Since the seat is upholstered in genuine cowhide, each piece will feature unique natural variations in color and texture. This means your stool will have a one-of-a-kind look that may differ slightly from the marketing imagery.
