Joycestone Brown Counter Height Stool

Yes, comfort is a primary feature of this design. Unlike backless models, this stool features a full-back design and an amply padded, upholstered square seat. This combination provides necessary lumbar support and cushioning, making it a practical choice for multi-purpose kitchen islands used for everything from formal meals to extended laptop sessions.

This is a counter-height stool with a seat height of 25.5 inches, specifically engineered for standard kitchen counters or islands that typically stand between 34 and 36 inches tall. For an ergonomic seating experience, our experts recommend maintaining a 10 to 12-inch gap between the top of the stool’s seat and the underside of your counter to ensure comfortable legroom and ease of movement.

While the metal frame is incredibly durable, we recommend being proactive about floor protection in homes with hardwood, tile, or laminate surfaces. Because this stool features a U-shaped base rather than individual pointed feet, it offers a stable surface for applying felt pads or silicone floor protectors. Based on our expertise, adding these simple protectors will prevent scuffing and ensure the stool glides smoothly across your floors.

This stool is constructed with a high-quality metal frame and a unique U-shaped leg design, providing exceptional structural stability and durability. Unlike wood, which can expand or contract with temperature changes, a metal frame offers a consistent, sturdy foundation that is well-suited for high-traffic areas. This minimalist geometric design is a hallmark of mid-century aesthetics, offering a sophisticated look without the bulk of traditional furniture.

To prevent a cramped appearance and ensure each guest has enough elbow room, we recommend leaving approximately 28 to 30 inches between the centers of each stool. Since this stool has a wider-than-average width of 23.75 inches, providing this extra clearance allows for a minimum of 6 to 8 inches between seats, maintaining the clean, pared-down aesthetic while supporting comfortable social interaction.

To preserve the integrity of the upholstered seat, our maintenance experts recommend regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust from settling into the fibers. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth; if necessary, use a mild detergent and warm water for spot cleaning. The metal frame's brown finish can be kept looking its best by simply wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth to remove fingerprints and maintain its polished, mid-century look.
