Know before you buy
The 24-inch stool is designed for standard counter-height surfaces, typically around 36 inches tall. The 30-inch stool is intended for bar-height surfaces, which are usually 42 inches tall. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 10 to 12 inches of legroom.
Yes, the available fabric and leather options are selected for residential durability. However, wood seats offer the highest level of longevity and are the easiest to wipe clean, making them the best choice for high-traffic households or homes with young children.
While the stool is structurally sound without them, adding a metal kickplate is highly recommended if you plan on using the stool daily. It protects the wood finish from scuffs and wear caused by shoes over time.
Because these stools are made from solid hardwood, they are subject to natural expansion and contraction based on your home's humidity levels. To minimize movement, try to keep the stools away from direct heat sources like radiators or vents.
Yes, the Conrath stool is fully customizable, allowing you to select specific wood species and stain combinations. Keep in mind that different wood grains, such as oak versus cherry, will absorb stains differently, resulting in unique color variations.
