Almshouse Taupe Counter Stool

This stool is constructed with a sturdy metal frame, offering superior structural integrity and a slimmer profile than traditional wood. Metal frames are less susceptible to the warping or joint loosening that can occur with humidity changes, making them a reliable choice for long-term stability. Additionally, the straight-leg design and metal construction provide a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that supports a significant weight capacity without adding unnecessary visual bulk.

Yes, this stool is particularly well-suited for smaller living spaces or narrow kitchen islands. Its slim 21.5-inch width and "tone-on-tone" taupe finish help it blend seamlessly into its surroundings, reducing visual clutter. The sleek metal legs create an "open" feel underneath the seat, which helps a compact kitchen or dining area feel more airy and spacious while still providing full-back support.

The Memphis-inspired design refers to a bold, contemporary aesthetic that prioritizes geometric shapes and a sense of playfulness. This stool captures that spirit through its square seat and tone-on-tone execution, where the legs are finished to match the taupe upholstery. This "monochrome" look is a sophisticated design technique that allows the stool to make a statement without clashing, making it an excellent anchor piece for modern or minimalist interiors.

This stool features a seat height of 29.25 inches. While it is titled a "counter stool," this height is typically best suited for bar-height surfaces (approximately 40 to 42 inches tall) or higher kitchen islands. To ensure maximum comfort and adequate legroom, we recommend maintaining a 10 to 12-inch gap between the seat and the underside of your counter. We suggest measuring your specific counter height before purchase to ensure this elevated seat provides the ideal fit for your space.

The upholstery is crafted from 100% polyester, a material highly regarded in the furniture industry for its exceptional durability and resistance to stretching and wrinkling. Because polyester fibers are naturally resilient, this fabric is an excellent choice for high-use areas like kitchen islands or home bars. For long-term maintenance, our care guidelines suggest regular light vacuuming to prevent dust from settling into the weave and immediate spot-cleaning for any spills.

This item requires customer assembly. While the process is designed to be straightforward, it typically involves securing the leg assembly to the seat and backrest frame. All necessary hardware is included. Based on our assembly standards, we recommend ensuring all bolts are tightened firmly upon initial setup and checked periodically to maintain the stool’s stability and performance over time.
