Nowotny Black Gold Counter Height Stool Set of 2

To ensure comfortable seating, the industry standard is to allow a 10-to-12-inch gap between the stool seat and the underside of your counter. With a seat height of 26 inches, this stool is specifically designed for standard 36-inch kitchen counters. This height provides ample legroom for dining and working while maintaining an ergonomic posture.

This stool features a high-quality metal frame, which offers exceptional long-term durability and structural stability. Unlike wood, which can expand or contract with humidity, a metal frame provides a consistent, sturdy foundation that is resistant to warping. The gold finish further enhances the modern aesthetic while providing a resilient surface that stands up to daily use.

Yes. While backless designs are often chosen for space-saving, this model is built for comfort with a high, padded backrest and an extra-wide square seat. This design provides superior lumbar support and a more relaxed seating experience, making it ideal for everything from quick morning coffee to longer homework sessions at the kitchen island.

This set is perfectly suited for smaller kitchens or apartment living. The 16.5-inch width and straight-leg design create a streamlined, compact footprint that provides maximum seating without a heavy visual weight. The modern, minimalist silhouette helps maintain an open feel in tighter spaces, allowing the stools to serve as a functional accent without overwhelming the room.

Faux leather is an excellent, low-maintenance choice for high-traffic dining areas. Based on our material care expertise, we recommend using a soft cloth with warm water and a mild detergent for regular cleaning. Because the material is non-porous, it naturally resists stains and spills, making it a highly durable and kid-friendly option for busy households.

For a comfortable and functional setup, we recommend leaving 6 to 10 inches of space between each stool. Given this stool’s 16.5-inch width, you can easily determine how many will fit at your island by adding the width of the stool to your preferred spacing. This ensures each guest has adequate elbow room and can move freely without the area feeling overcrowded.
