Kokai Gray Counter Height Stool (Set of 2)

The frame is constructed from high-quality steel with tapered legs, providing a sturdy and stable foundation. Unlike traditional wood, a steel frame offers superior resistance to warping and joint loosening over time, making these stools an exceptionally durable choice for busy households where seating is used frequently throughout the day.

To ensure each guest has enough personal space, we recommend allowing 24 to 30 inches of counter width per stool. Since these stools are 17.5 inches wide and sold in a set of two, a standard 5-foot island can typically accommodate one set (two stools) comfortably, while an 8-foot island could accommodate two sets (four stools) while maintaining adequate elbow room.

These stools are an excellent solution for compact living. With a streamlined width of 17.5 inches and a low-back design, they provide a minimalist silhouette that minimizes visual clutter. The low profile allows the stools to be tucked more closely under the counter when not in use, helping you maximize valuable floor space in smaller urban apartments or narrow galley kitchens.

Based on our furniture care guide, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent debris from settling into the fabric or onto the steel legs. For minor spills on the upholstered seats, use a clean rag dampened with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Always blot the area gently rather than rubbing, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the gray finish and upholstery.

These are counter height stools, standing at 35 inches tall, specifically designed for standard kitchen counters or islands that typically measure 36 inches high. Based on our expertise in dining ergonomics, we recommend maintaining a 10-12 inch gap between the stool seat and the underside of your counter to ensure comfortable legroom and a proper dining posture.

The low-back design offers a perfect middle ground between style and support. It provides more stability and lumbar comfort than a backless stool while maintaining a modern, "tucked-in" look. This style is particularly beneficial for open-concept homes, as the lower height ensures that sightlines from the kitchen to the living area remain unobstructed, keeping your space feeling open and airy.
