Marsanne V Silver Counter Height Stool, Set of 2

Customer assembly is required for this set, which allows for more efficient shipping and ensures the pieces can easily navigate through narrow doorways or hallways upon delivery. The assembly process is straightforward and typically involves securing the metal leg base to the pre-constructed bucket seat. All necessary hardware and clear instructions are included to help you set up your new dining space quickly and securely.

To ensure an ergonomic and comfortable fit, the seat of a stool should be approximately 10 to 12 inches lower than the underside of your counter. With a seat height of 26 inches, these stools are expertly designed for standard kitchen counters, which typically range from 35 to 36 inches in height. This specific height difference provides the ideal amount of legroom for both dining and casual conversation.

Proper spacing is key to maintaining a functional and uncluttered kitchen. For stools of this scale, we recommend allowing 6 to 10 inches between each seat to ensure guests have plenty of elbow room. Since each stool has a width of 19.75 inches, you should plan for approximately 26 to 30 inches of counter space per person. For a standard 8-foot island, this set of two would fit comfortably alongside a third stool while leaving ample room for movement.

These stools are specifically engineered for comfort, featuring a bucket-style seat and back that provide contoured support by cradling the body. The fixed-back design is particularly beneficial for those who use their counter as a temporary workspace or for long meals, as it offers more stability and ergonomic support than backless or low-profile alternatives. The plush velvet upholstery further enhances the seating experience by adding a soft, padded layer.

While velvet offers a luxurious and contemporary look, it is also a resilient material when cared for correctly. Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend regular dusting with a soft cloth or a light vacuuming with a brush attachment to maintain the fabric's silver sheen and lifted pile. For spills, blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth is the best approach; we advise against using harsh chemicals, which can damage the delicate pleated wave pattern on the backrest.

This set features a sturdy 4-leg metal frame with a sleek black finish. To protect high-end flooring such as hardwood, tile, or laminate from potential scuffs, we recommend a proactive approach of adding felt pads or protective glides to the feet. This is a common practice for metal-framed furniture in high-traffic areas like the kitchen to ensure your floors remain in pristine condition.
