Ciara Brown Counter Height Stool

The rich espresso finish is a hallmark of contemporary and transitional design. This dark, refined wood tone pairs beautifully with light-colored cabinetry (such as white or light gray) to create a striking contrast, or with earth tones like beige and tan for a warmer, more traditional feel. The "leather style" brown upholstery adds a layer of texture that works well in both industrial-inspired kitchens and sleek, modern dining areas.

Yes, this stool is exceptionally family-friendly. The upholstery is a faux leather style fabric, which is naturally non-porous and more resistant to spills and stains than traditional fabric. For daily maintenance or accidental messes, our care guides recommend simply wiping the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap. Furthermore, the solid wood straight legs and sturdy stretchers provide a stable base that is less prone to tipping during use.

This stool features straight wooden legs, which provide a broad, flat contact point with the floor. To ensure maximum protection for high-end flooring like hardwood or laminate, we recommend using felt pads or floor glides on the bottom of the legs. This prevents scuffs and allows the stool to slide smoothly when being pulled out from the counter.

Absolutely. With a width of 20 inches and a depth of 22.5 inches, this stool offers a substantial seating area without a bulky footprint. Its contemporary silhouette and dark espresso finish provide a sophisticated look that complements modern decor without overwhelming a smaller space. For those in compact living environments, the streamlined design allows multiple stools to be lined up neatly along a counter or island.

While backless stools are excellent for tucking away, this full-back stool is engineered for extended comfort. The padded back provides essential lumbar support, making it a superior choice for homework sessions, long family breakfasts, or working from home at the kitchen island. The generous padding on both the seat and back ensures a comfortable sit that lasts far longer than solid wood or plastic alternatives.

This stool is specifically designed for counters and islands typically measuring 34 to 36 inches in height. With a seat height of 23 inches, it provides the ideal 10- to 13-inch gap recommended for comfortable legroom. In contrast, bar-height stools are taller, intended for surfaces measuring 40 to 42 inches, which would make them too high for standard kitchen counters.
