Ciara Green Counter Height Stool

Yes, faux leather is an excellent, high-durability choice for active households. It offers the sophisticated look of traditional leather while providing superior resistance to the spills and stains common in a busy kitchen. Based on our material care expertise, we recommend simply wiping the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap to handle everyday messes, making it a highly practical solution for high-traffic dining areas.

To ensure guest comfort and prevent a cramped feel, we recommend allowing 24 to 30 inches of space for each stool. Given this stool’s 20-inch width, leaving approximately 6 to 10 inches between each unit allows for easy movement. For a standard 6-foot (72-inch) island, a set of three stools typically provides the ideal balance of seating capacity and elbow room.

These stools feature sturdy wooden legs with a rich espresso finish. To protect hardwood, tile, or laminate flooring from potential scuffing, we recommend applying high-quality felt pads or rubber floor protectors to the base of the straight legs. This simple addition ensures the furniture glides smoothly and maintains the integrity of your home’s flooring over years of daily use.

This stool features a 23-inch seat height, which is specifically designed for standard counter-height surfaces (typically 34 to 36 inches tall). This height provides the recommended 11 to 13 inches of legroom between the seat and the underside of the counter, ensuring a comfortable and ergonomic position for dining or working at your kitchen island.

For those who use their kitchen counter for more than just quick meals, this stool is engineered with a supportive full back and a padded square seat. The upholstered design provides significantly more comfort and cushioning than backless or all-wood alternatives. Additionally, the built-in stretchers between the espresso-finished legs serve as a sturdy footrest to help reduce leg fatigue during extended conversations or work sessions.

At 20 inches wide, these stools offer a generous seating area while maintaining a contemporary, streamlined profile that works exceptionally well in smaller footprints. Their straight-leg design and 22.5-inch depth allow them to sit neatly against most counters, helping you maximize walkway space in urban apartment layouts or narrow galley kitchens without sacrificing seating comfort.
