Daylilly Gray Counter Height Stool

Customer assembly is required for this item. It is designed with a straightforward construction process and includes all necessary hardware. For the best long-term stability, we recommend a "two-stage" tightening process: assemble the pieces loosely at first, place the stool on a level surface to ensure it is balanced, and then fully tighten all bolts to ensure a wobble-free finish.

This is a counter-height stool with a seat height of 26 inches. For optimal comfort, we recommend a 10-12 inch gap between the stool seat and the underside of your counter. This makes it an ideal fit for standard kitchen islands or counters that stand approximately 36 inches tall.

Yes, the mid-century modern design is actually a preferred choice for smaller spaces. Its "leggy" silhouette and tapered walnut wood legs create a sense of visual openness, preventing the room from feeling cramped. While the armrests mean it may not tuck completely under the counter, its relatively shallow 17-inch depth ensures it maintains a compact footprint in galley kitchens or smaller dining areas.

The seat is upholstered in high-performance polyester, a material our experts recommend for high-traffic areas due to its inherent durability and resistance to stretching and pilling. Unlike natural fibers, polyester is less porous, making it easier to maintain. Based on our furniture care guidelines, most spills can be handled by spot cleaning with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent.

To ensure guests have enough elbow room, you should allow for at least 28 to 30 inches of counter space per person. Since this stool is 19.75 inches wide and features integrated walnut armrests, providing this extra clearance ensures that the stools don't feel crowded and that users can move freely while dining or socializing.

While the tapered legs provide a sturdy and stable base, we recommend proactive floor protection to prevent scuffs on high-end flooring. Applying high-quality felt pads to the bottom of the legs is a simple and effective way to ensure the stools glide smoothly without scratching your home's surfaces.

If you use your kitchen island as a secondary workspace or a place for long conversations, a stool with a full back and armrests provides significantly better ergonomic support than a backless model. This design features a supportive round seat and a built-in metal footrest, which helps alleviate pressure on the legs and promotes a more comfortable, upright posture over extended periods.
