Know before you buy
The primary difference is the seat height. The counter stool has a 27-inch seat height, making it suitable for standard 36-inch counters, while the barstool features a 31-inch seat height, designed for 40- to 42-inch bar-height surfaces.
Yes, the stool features a fully upholstered backrest with substantial padding and integrated track arms. This design offers a supportive, lounge-like feel that is more comfortable than standard backless stools.
Because the stool is fully upholstered, professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric or leather. We suggest spot-cleaning minor spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals.
No, the polished tubular stainless steel stretcher serves a functional purpose by reinforcing the solid and engineered wood frame. It provides essential structural stability while also acting as a convenient footrest.
The Mona stool is engineered to support a maximum weight capacity of 250 pounds.
