Alphadream I Gray Barstool

With a 29.5-inch seat height, this barstool is specifically designed for bar-height surfaces, which typically measure 40 to 42 inches from the floor. For a standard 36-inch kitchen island or counter, we generally recommend a "counter height" stool (usually 24-26 inches) to ensure the ideal 10 to 12 inches of clearance for comfortable legroom.

This stool is engineered for longevity, featuring a frame crafted from solid beech wood—a dense hardwood known for its exceptional strength and resistance to shock. The plush seat is upholstered in gray chenille, a fabric prized for its soft, "caterpillar" texture and durability against pilling. To further protect the piece, the integrated metal footrest prevents footwear from scuffing the wood while reinforcing the overall stability of the tapered legs.

This stool is an ideal solution for smaller spaces due to its modern, "light" visual profile. While it offers a full-back for comfort, the 21-inch width and elegant tapered legs allow it to fit neatly into tight arrangements without overwhelming the room. Furthermore, it arrives fully assembled, making it a sophisticated, "plug-and-play" option for furnishing an apartment bar or narrow kitchen ledge.

Unlike backless or low-profile designs, this barstool is built for extended use. It features a supportive full-back design and a round seat filled with high-density foam cushioning that maintains its shape over time. The stationary, four-leg base provides a more grounded and stable feel than many swivel options, making it a reliable seat for both quick breakfasts and longer social gatherings.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend vacuuming the chenille upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and prevent fabric matting. For minor spills, blot—never rub—the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, spot clean with a small amount of mild soap and water, but always test a small, inconspicuous area first. The beech wood legs should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth to maintain their finish.

To ensure guests have enough elbow room, we recommend a center-to-center spacing of approximately 26 to 30 inches. Given this stool’s 21-inch width, a 5-foot bar can comfortably accommodate two stools with generous room, while an 8-foot bar can easily fit three to four stools for a cohesive, upscale look.
