Know before you buy
A 24-inch stool is designed for standard kitchen counters, which are typically 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, usually measuring 42 inches high. You should aim for about 10 to 12 inches of clearance between the seat and the underside of your counter for optimal legroom.
The swivel is built for durability and generally requires no maintenance. If you notice any stiffness over time, a simple application of a silicone-based lubricant to the ball bearings will keep it moving smoothly.
Because each stool is handcrafted from natural hickory saplings, there may be slight variations in the shape and thickness of the wood. However, Amish artisans carefully level each base during construction to ensure the stool sits flat and stable on your floor.
Dust the stool regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can damage the natural varnish; a damp cloth is sufficient for occasional spot cleaning.
Yes, you can choose from several solid hardwood options for the seat to match your existing decor. If you have a specific wood species in mind that is not listed, you can contact the manufacturer to discuss custom options.
