Know before you buy
The Kai Stool has a total height of 18 inches, making it a standard ottoman or low-profile stool height rather than a traditional bar or counter stool.
To maintain the hide, gently vacuum in the direction of the hair growth or use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or water, as these can damage the natural texture and finish of the hide.
The hand-forged iron base is sturdy, but we recommend using felt pads on the bottom of the legs to protect hardwood or delicate flooring surfaces from potential scratches.
The stool features a thick cushion that offers a firm, supportive seat. While it is comfortable for occasional use or as an accent piece, it is designed more for style and versatility than for long-term lounging.
Yes, because hair-on-hide is a natural material, each stool will feature unique variations in color, pattern, and texture. This ensures that every piece has a one-of-a-kind look.
