Know before you buy
The counter height stool features a 24-inch seat height, which is ideal for standard 36-inch kitchen counters. The bar height stool has a 30-inch seat height, designed for taller 42-inch bar tops.
Yes, the seat is meticulously contoured to follow the natural shape of the body, providing ergonomic support. If you prefer extra cushioning, you can also select the upholstered seat option in either fabric or leather.
Consider both the grain pattern and the hardness of the wood. Harder woods like Hickory or Hard Maple are excellent for high-traffic areas, while Cherry and Walnut offer rich, distinct grain patterns that age beautifully over time.
The X-back design is engineered for both aesthetic appeal and structural support. It provides a sturdy, comfortable backrest that allows you to lean back securely while seated.
Yes, you can choose to add felt or nylon glides to the base of the stool legs. These are highly recommended if you have hardwood or tile floors to ensure smooth movement and prevent scratching.
The footrest covers, available in black or nickel, provide a durable layer of protection for the wood stretcher where your feet naturally rest. They prevent scuffing and wear on the finish, keeping the stool looking new for longer.
