Know before you buy
The counter height stool is designed for surfaces approximately 36 inches high, while the bar height stool is intended for taller surfaces around 42 inches. Ensure you measure the distance from your floor to the underside of your counter or bar top to select the correct size for comfortable legroom.
Yes, the stool features Hopsak upholstery, which is a highly durable, basket-weave fabric designed to withstand frequent use. It offers a structured, tactile feel that holds up well in high-traffic areas like dining rooms and kitchens.
Absolutely. The stool is available in black, white, or trivalent chrome base finishes, allowing you to coordinate the hardware with your existing furniture or lighting fixtures.
Each stool comes equipped with standard glides on the feet. These are designed to protect your floors from scratches and allow the stool to slide smoothly across most surfaces.
For routine maintenance, we recommend vacuuming the fabric periodically to remove dust. If a spill occurs, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth; for deeper cleaning, consult a professional upholstery cleaner to ensure the fabric integrity is maintained.
