Know before you buy
This counter height stool features a seat height of 26 inches, which is ideal for standard kitchen counters measuring 36 inches from the floor to the underside of the surface.
The Abaca rope provides a firm, supportive feel with a natural, woven texture. While it lacks the plushness of an upholstered cushion, the material offers a slight, comfortable give that is well-suited for casual dining or social gatherings.
The stool is typically delivered fully assembled, allowing you to place it in your space immediately without the need for tools or complex setup.
To maintain the rope, simply vacuum it occasionally with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the natural fibers.
With an overall height of 37 inches and a backless design, this stool is designed to tuck neatly under most standard counter overhangs, helping to keep your kitchen walkways clear.
