Kendall Gray Counter Height Stool with Natural Legs

Yes, this stool is designed for extended use. The curved back is fully upholstered and contoured to provide ergonomic support, while the padded seat offers a soft landing compared to all-wood or metal alternatives. The integrated footrest on the tapered legs also helps reduce leg fatigue, making it an excellent choice for a multi-purpose kitchen space used for both meals and remote work.

This stool is an ideal solution for small-footprint living. Its 17.75-inch width and "armless" design allow it to be tucked closely together or even pushed partially under the counter when not in use, keeping walkways clear in narrow apartment kitchens. The light gray upholstery and natural wood finish also help maintain a bright, open feel in more compact rooms.

While the tapered wood legs are durable and sturdy, we recommend applying high-quality felt pads to the bottom of the feet. This is particularly important for homes with hardwood, laminate, or tile flooring to prevent scratches and allow the stool to glide smoothly. Periodically checking and replacing these pads will ensure your floors remain protected over the life of the furniture.

To keep the gray fabric looking crisp and tailored, we recommend regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris. For spills, our general care guidance suggests blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals; instead, use a mild, water-based cleaning solution if necessary, always testing a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness.

This stool features a 24-inch seat height, which is specifically designed for standard counter-height surfaces (typically 36 inches high). To ensure maximum comfort and adequate legroom, industry standards recommend leaving approximately 10 to 12 inches between the seat and the underside of the counter. This 24-inch height provides that ideal clearance for most kitchen islands and breakfast bars.

To provide a comfortable dining experience without feeling cramped, we recommend allowing 24 to 30 inches of space per person. With a slim width of 17.75 inches, these stools are highly space-efficient. For a standard 6-foot (72-inch) island, you can comfortably fit three of these stools while maintaining ample elbow room for each guest.
