Nallie Gray Counter Height Stool

Yes, a wingback design provides superior comfort compared to standard low-back or backless options. The integrated "wings" offer additional lateral support for your back and shoulders, mimicking the feel of a high-quality dining chair. When combined with the 360-degree swivel feature and a plushly upholstered square seat, this stool is an excellent choice for those who use their kitchen island for lingering over coffee, homework, or long conversations.

To ensure a comfortable seating experience, the seat height of your stool should be approximately 10 to 12 inches lower than the underside of your counter. This stool, featuring a 25.25-inch seat height, is specifically engineered for standard counter-height surfaces that measure between 34 and 36 inches tall. This gap provides ample legroom and allows for proper posture during meals or work sessions.

To maintain the appearance of the light gray fabric, we recommend consistent care. Based on our material expertise, you should blot—rather than rub—any liquid spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For general maintenance or light stains, use a soft rag dampened with warm water and a mild detergent. For the solid wood legs, regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth will preserve the reclaimed gray finish and prevent buildup in the wood grain.

This stool is designed with durability in mind, featuring a solid wood frame and a generous maximum weight capacity of 300 lbs. A standout feature for families is the integrated bronze kickplate on the footrest. This metal plate acts as a protective shield for the wood, preventing the scuffs and finish wear that typically occur from children's shoes. The swivel function also adds convenience, allowing kids to turn easily toward the counter without dragging the stool legs across the floor.

When planning your layout, it is important to account for both the width of the stool and the space needed for movement. Because this model is 21.75 inches wide and features a swivel function, we recommend allowing 8 to 10 inches between each stool. This spacing ensures that the swivel mechanism can operate freely without the seats bumping into one another and provides guests enough room to enter and exit comfortably.

While these stools are built with smooth, tapered solid wood legs, protecting your flooring investment is essential. We recommend applying high-quality felt furniture pads or rubber glides to the bottom of the legs. This is especially important for swivel-style seating in high-traffic kitchens, as it provides a protective barrier that prevents scuffing and allows the stool to be moved quietly and safely across delicate surfaces.
