Know before you buy
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height tables or islands, typically around 36 inches high. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches high.
Yes, you can upgrade from the standard solid wood seat to a fabric or leather upholstered seat. These options include a 2-inch foam cushion for added comfort during extended seating.
Hardwoods like Hard Maple, Hickory, and Quarter Sawn White Oak are exceptionally dense and resistant to wear. While all our wood options are durable, these species are excellent choices if you expect heavy daily use.
You can choose between various stain and paint colors, as well as different sheen levels like semi-gloss or flat matte. We also offer light or heavy distressing options if you prefer a more rustic, lived-in aesthetic.
While the stool is structurally sound without it, adding a footrest or kickplate provides extra comfort for your legs and protects the wood finish from scuffs caused by shoes. It is a recommended addition for frequent use.
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polish containing silicone. If you choose an upholstered seat, follow standard fabric or leather care guidelines to prevent staining.
