Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
What is the best way to maintain and clean the faux leather and wood finish?
Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend dusting the walnut-glazed frame and metal backrest regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the faux leather seat, most spills can be handled with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, which can damage the glazed finish or the upholstery's protective coating over time.
Is the upholstery durable enough for a high-traffic home with children or pets?
Yes, the seat is upholstered in faux leather (polyurethane), which is an excellent choice for busy households. Unlike porous fabrics, this material is naturally resistant to spills and stains, making it easy to wipe down after meals. The walnut glazed wood frame provides a sturdy, stable foundation, while the stationary 4-leg design ensures consistent durability for daily use.
Is this stool design suitable for a compact farmhouse-style kitchen?
Absolutely. The spindle-back design and walnut glazed wood frame offer a modern take on traditional farmhouse aesthetics. Because the metal backrest is airy and open, these stools provide necessary back support without creating a heavy visual "wall" around your island. This makes them particularly effective in smaller kitchens or open-concept floor plans where maintaining sightlines is key to keeping the space feeling large and inviting.
How do I know if this stool is the right height for my kitchen counter?
This stool features a seat height of 26 inches, which is the industry standard for counter-height seating. To ensure a comfortable experience, you should have a counter or island that stands approximately 35 to 36 inches tall. This provides about a 10-inch gap between the seat and the underside of the counter, allowing for plenty of legroom and a natural posture while dining or working.
Does this stool require assembly upon delivery?
Yes, customer assembly is required for this set. This allows the stools to be shipped more efficiently, ensuring they arrive securely. The fixed-height, stationary design is straightforward to put together, and all necessary hardware is included to ensure the walnut-glazed frame and metal spindle back are perfectly aligned for long-term stability.
How many of these stools can comfortably fit along a standard kitchen island?
Each stool has a width of 20.75 inches. For a comfortable seating arrangement, we recommend leaving 6 to 10 inches between each stool to allow for easy movement and elbow room. For example, a 6-foot (72-inch) island can typically accommodate three of these stools comfortably, though this specific set conveniently includes two stools to get your seating area started.
