Know before you buy
The seat height is 25 inches, which is standard for counter-height tables and kitchen islands typically measuring 34 to 36 inches high.
The finish is a distressed grayish white with a rub-through effect, meaning it is designed to look timeworn and will show some variation rather than a perfectly uniform, solid paint job.
Assembly is required for this stool. It involves attaching the legs and backrest to the seat frame, which is straightforward and typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes per stool with the included hardware.
Yes, the seat is upholstered in durable polyester, which is generally resistant to wear and easy to spot clean with a mild detergent and water if spills occur.
No, these stools are designed for indoor use only. The wood construction and upholstery are not treated to withstand outdoor weather conditions or moisture.
