Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is this stool a good choice for a high-traffic home with children or pets?
Yes, this stool is exceptionally well-suited for bustling households. The seat is upholstered in faux leather (polyurethane), a material highly valued for its resistance to spills and stains compared to natural fibers. Additionally, the walnut-glazed wood frame provides a sturdy, stationary base that offers greater stability for younger children than swivel models might.
How much space should I leave between each stool at my kitchen island?
To ensure your guests have enough elbow room for dining and socializing, we recommend allowing approximately 24 to 30 inches of space for each stool. Given this stool's width of 20.75 inches, leaving a 6- to 9-inch gap between each seat will prevent your counter area from feeling overcrowded while maintaining a clean, farmhouse-inspired aesthetic.
What is the best way to clean and maintain the faux leather seat?
Based on our furniture care expertise, maintaining the faux leather upholstery is simple. For daily maintenance, we recommend dusting the square seat with a soft, dry cloth. For spills, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. You should avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the protective polyurethane coating and dull the walnut finish of the frame.
How can I protect my hardwood or laminate floors from the wood legs?
To safeguard high-end flooring like hardwood or luxury vinyl plank, we recommend applying heavy-duty felt pads to the bottom of the four-legged wood base. This simple addition prevents scratches and scuffs when the stools are moved. For tiled surfaces, the walnut-glazed legs are naturally durable, but pads can also help dampen sound in open-concept living spaces.
Is this stool suitable for a small urban apartment or compact breakfast nook?
Absolutely. While many traditional stools can be bulky, the 20.75-inch depth and airy spindle-back design of this stool provide a comfortable seat without overwhelming a smaller room visually. The fixed-height, stationary design allows the stools to be tucked neatly against the counter when not in use, maximizing the walkable floor space in your kitchen.
How do I know if this stool is the right height for my kitchen counter?
This is a counter-height stool with a seat height of 26 inches. It is specifically designed to pair with surfaces standing 34 to 36 inches tall, such as standard kitchen islands or peninsula counters. For optimal comfort, our experts recommend maintaining a 10- to 12-inch gap between the stool seat and the underside of the counter to allow for ample legroom.
