Know before you buy
The counter height stool features a 24-inch seat, which is ideal for standard 36-inch kitchen counters. The bar height stool has a 30-inch seat, designed to fit comfortably at 42-inch high bar tops.
Yes, you can select a solid wood seat for a classic, easy-to-clean look, or opt for fabric or leather upholstery if you prefer extra cushioning and comfort.
The stools are equipped with a smooth-motion swivel mechanism that allows for easy rotation, making it simple to get in and out of the seat or turn toward conversation without moving the base.
Hardwoods like Hickory, Hard Maple, and White Oak are exceptionally dense and durable, making them excellent choices for busy households. If you prefer a smoother grain, Brown Maple or Cherry are also high-quality options that hold up well with proper care.
The ladder-back design is ergonomically shaped to provide firm, supportive contact along your back. While it offers a more structured feel than a fully upholstered back, it is designed specifically for comfort during meals or extended social gatherings.
Dust the wood regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and use a mild wood cleaner or a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, and keep the stools away from direct heat sources to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.
