Know before you buy
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches high. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 10 to 12 inches of legroom.
The wood footrest offers a seamless, traditional look that matches the stool's frame. The powder-coated kickplate is a more practical choice if you expect heavy daily use, as it protects the wood finish from scuffs and wear caused by shoes.
Yes, the upholstered option includes a 2-inch foam cushion that provides significantly more support than the standard wood seat. It is a better choice if you plan to use these stools for extended meals or as primary seating in your kitchen.
Hardwoods like Quarter Sawn White Oak, Hickory, and Hard Maple are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents and scratches. If you prefer a softer look, Brown Maple is a popular choice, though it is slightly more prone to showing wear over time.
The regular semi-gloss finish provides a subtle luster that is easy to wipe clean and highlights the wood grain. The flat matte sheen offers a more modern, organic appearance that hides fingerprints and minor surface imperfections better than a glossy finish.
Yes, these stools are handcrafted and arrive fully assembled, ensuring the structural integrity of the joints. You can place them directly into your space without the need for tools or complex setup.
