Loblolly VI Cream Swivel Counter Height Stool, Set of 2

Yes, these stools are highly practical for high-traffic family environments. The upholstery is made from high-quality polyurethane (faux leather), which our care guides recommend for its superior resistance to spills and stains compared to natural fibers. Spills can be quickly wiped away with a damp cloth and mild soap. Furthermore, the bucket seat design and built-in footrest provide added stability and ergonomic support for younger users.

To preserve the rich walnut finish of the legs, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For the faux leather bucket seat, avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can degrade the polyurethane over time. Based on our material expertise, a simple solution of warm water and a drop of light detergent is the most effective way to keep the cream-colored fabric looking pristine while maintaining its supple texture.

To ensure a comfortable fit, you should follow the "10-12 inch rule," which recommends leaving about a foot of space between the seat and the underside of your counter. With a seat height of 24 inches, these stools are specifically designed for standard counter-height surfaces that typically measure between 34 and 36 inches tall. Using these instead of taller bar stools prevents the common mistake of having inadequate legroom.

For a comfortable seating arrangement in compact urban spaces, we recommend allowing 6 to 12 inches between each stool. Since these stools have a width of 21.25 inches, you should measure your counter length and account for this spacing. Their "low back" silhouette is particularly beneficial for smaller rooms, as it maintains a clean sightline across your counter, preventing the space from feeling cluttered or enclosed.

Customer assembly is required for this set of two, but the design is engineered for straightforward setup. Each set comes with easy-to-follow instructions and all necessary hardware. To ensure long-term durability and prevent wobbling, we recommend a "staged tightening" approach—tighten all bolts about 80% of the way first, place the stool on a level surface to ensure it is balanced, and then complete the final tightening.

The integrated swivel functionality allows for a full 360-degree rotation, which is ideal for open-concept homes where the kitchen island serves as a social hub. This feature enables you to easily turn between the kitchen and the living area without having to physically move the heavy 4-leg base, reducing friction and potential wear on your flooring.
