Know before you buy
The counter height stool features a 24-inch seat, which is ideal for standard 36-inch kitchen islands. The bar height stool features a 30-inch seat, designed for taller 42-inch home bars or pub tables.
Yes, you can upgrade from the standard solid wood seat to various fabric or leather options. We offer premium and ultimate Crypton fabrics, which are GREENGUARD Gold Certified for durability and ease of cleaning.
Consider both aesthetics and durability. Harder woods like Hickory and Hard Maple are excellent for high-traffic areas, while Cherry and Walnut are prized for their rich color and grain patterns that age beautifully over time.
To prevent floor damage, you can select either felt or nylon glides during customization. Felt glides are generally recommended for hardwood floors, while nylon glides work well on tile or stone surfaces.
Armrests provide extra support and comfort, which is helpful if you plan to use the stools for extended periods. However, choosing the armless version offers a more streamlined look and makes it easier to slide the stools completely under your counter.
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can strip the hand-rubbed finish. If the wood appears dry over time, you can use a high-quality furniture oil or wax specifically formulated for finished wood.
