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 to fit standard 42-inch high home bars or pub tables.
Yes, the seat is specifically scooped to contour to the body, providing ergonomic support. If you prefer extra cushioning, you can choose the optional upholstered seat, which includes a 2-inch foam pad covered in your choice of fabric or leather.
Consider both the grain pattern and the hardness of the wood. For example, Oak and Hickory offer prominent grain patterns and high durability, while Brown Maple or Cherry provide a smoother, more uniform appearance that takes stains very evenly.
A footrest is available as an optional feature. It is highly recommended for added comfort and stability, especially if you plan to use the stools for extended periods.
This stool is built with solid hardwood construction and has a tested weight limit of 250 pounds.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the stool down with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes with silicone, as these can build up and dull the wood's natural luster over time.
