Trepassey I Black Counter Height Stool, Set of 2

To preserve the luster of the gold finish and the integrity of the faux leather, our care guidelines recommend using a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of mild soap and warm water. It is important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can dull the metallic finish or cause the polyurethane to crack over time. Regularly dusting the frame with a microfiber cloth will keep the stool looking new for years.

This product is shipped with customer assembly required to ensure it arrives in the best possible condition. The process is straightforward and involves securing the stationary metal frame to the padded seat cushion. All necessary hardware and clear instructions are included. For the best long-term stability, we recommend periodically checking and tightening the connections if the stools are used daily in a high-activity kitchen.

Yes, the polyurethane (faux leather) used for the seat is exceptionally practical for high-traffic family environments. Unlike genuine leather or porous fabrics, this material is water-resistant and non-absorbent, allowing spills from juice or food to be wiped away easily. Based on our expertise with performance materials, we recommend this upholstery for families who prioritize a modern aesthetic without sacrificing ease of maintenance.

To ensure a comfortable dining experience, you should aim for a 10-to-12-inch gap between the top of the stool seat and the underside of your counter. With a seat height of 26 inches, this stool is specifically engineered for standard counter-height surfaces, which typically measure around 36 inches tall. This spacing provides ample legroom and an ergonomic position for both dining and working.

This stool features a sturdy 4-leg metal frame designed for maximum stability. While the legs are built for durability, we recommend adding felt pads or specialized floor glides to the base of each leg if you have high-end hardwood, laminate, or tile flooring. This simple addition, which is a hallmark of proactive furniture care, will prevent scuffs and scratches caused by the stool being moved in and out from the counter.

In modern, open-concept homes, maintaining a clear line of sight is essential for a cohesive feel. The low-back profile of this stool provides necessary lumbar support while remaining below or level with most counter surfaces. This design choice reduces visual clutter, allowing your kitchen island to remain the focal point and making the entire room feel more spacious compared to traditional high-back seating.
