Know before you buy
The seat height is 24 1/2 inches. This is a standard height designed specifically for kitchen islands or counters that typically measure 36 inches from the floor.
The cerused finish is a technique that highlights the natural grain of the Cape Lilac Mahogany by filling it with a contrasting tone. In this case, the black finish emphasizes the wood's texture, giving it a sophisticated, layered appearance rather than a flat, solid color.
Yes, the caning is lacquered to provide added protection and durability. While it offers a flexible, form-fitting feel, it is sturdy enough to withstand regular use in a kitchen environment.
The Edward Counter Stool is delivered fully assembled. You can place it directly into your space without the need for tools or installation.
To maintain the brass, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the finish. For the lacquered mahogany frame, a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one is sufficient to keep the surface clean.
The brass sabots are designed as a decorative and structural element at the base of the legs. While they are smooth, we recommend using felt pads on the bottom if you are placing the stool on delicate hardwood or tile floors to ensure complete protection.
