East Hampton Black Counter Height Stool

This stool features a seat height of 26 inches, making it a standard "counter height" stool. Based on our measurement expertise, these stools are ideally paired with counters or islands that stand 34 to 36 inches tall. This creates a 10-inch gap between the seat and the countertop, which is the recommended industry standard to ensure comfortable legroom and proper posture while dining.

This stool is built with a high-durability metal frame and straight legs, providing a stable foundation that resists the warping and joint loosening often seen in wood stools. The integrated metal footrest not only adds to your comfort but also serves as a structural brace, increasing the overall longevity of the piece in high-traffic kitchens.

While the metal legs provide excellent stability, we recommend applying felt pads or furniture glides to the feet of the straight legs. This is a common best practice for any furniture with a metal-to-floor contact point to prevent scuffs or scratches and ensure the stool slides smoothly across your floor.

To keep the "Hollywood glam" look of the textured woven fabric and sleek black frame, our care guide recommends regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For spills on the white upholstery, blot immediately with a clean cloth using mild soap and water. It is important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can degrade the metal's finish or the integrity of the woven fabric over time.

Each stool has a width of 17.5 inches. To avoid a crowded look and ensure guests have enough elbow room, our spacing guide recommends leaving 6 to 10 inches between each seat. For a standard 6-foot (72-inch) island, you can comfortably fit three of these stools while maintaining an open, airy feel.

This stool is an exceptional choice for small-space living or urban apartments. The backless design allows the stools to be tucked completely underneath the counter when not in use, which keeps walkways clear and maximizes your floor space. This "tuck-away" feature is perfect for maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic in a multi-functional kitchen and living area.
