Harborson III Black Counter Height Stool, Set of 2

This stool features a durable 4-leg metal frame. To safeguard high-end flooring like hardwood, tile, or laminate, we recommend applying felt pads or protective glides to the bottom of each leg. This not only prevents scuffs and scratches but also ensures the stool slides smoothly and quietly when moved.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this set. Following the provided instructions ensures that the metal frame and footrest are securely attached, providing the long-term stability and structural integrity required for daily use in a high-traffic dining area.

The primary difference is the seat height. Counter height stools, such as this set, are designed for surfaces that stand approximately 35 to 37 inches high, like a standard kitchen island. This stool features a 26-inch seat height, which is the industry standard for counter-level seating. In contrast, bar height stools are taller, typically measuring 28 to 32 inches at the seat to accommodate 41 to 43-inch bar counters.

To ensure a comfortable dining experience, our experts recommend the "10-12 inch rule." You should allow for a 10 to 12-inch gap between the top of the stool’s seat and the underside of your counter. With this stool's 26-inch seat height, it is perfectly scaled for a standard 36-inch kitchen counter, providing the ideal amount of clearance for your legs and ensuring a natural posture while seated.

Faux leather, specifically the polyurethane used here, is a highly durable and practical choice for active households. Unlike genuine leather, this material is non-porous, making it naturally resistant to spills, stains, and pet hair. It provides a sophisticated "Glam" aesthetic while remaining easy to maintain, as most messes can be quickly wiped away without deeply penetrating the fabric.

Yes, this stool is an excellent solution for small-space living. Its low-back design and square 23-inch footprint are specifically engineered to minimize visual weight. This profile allows the stools to be tucked neatly under the counter or kitchen island when not in use, clearing your walkways and making a compact urban kitchen feel more open and organized.

Based on our material care expertise, we recommend dusting the stools regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For spills on the faux leather upholstery, use a clean rag dampened with warm water and a drop of mild detergent. It is important to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the protective finish from both the faux leather and the sleek metal frame.
