Utley Gray Counter Height Stool

To maintain the charcoal gray finish and the wood frame, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For the faux leather upholstery, a damp cloth with mild soap and water is usually sufficient for most spills. We suggest avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, which can degrade the polyurethane finish and the protective coating on the wood frame.

This stool is engineered with high-density foam in both the seat and the backrest. Unlike standard furniture foam, high-density foam has a tighter cell structure that offers superior resilient support and prevents the "bottoming out" feeling over time. This makes it a comfortable and durable choice for those who use their kitchen counter as a temporary workspace or for long social gatherings.

Because this stool is 19.5 inches wide and includes a swivel feature, we recommend spacing them approximately 8 to 10 inches apart (measured from the center of each seat). This ensures that guests have enough "elbow room" and can utilize the swivel function comfortably without bumping into the neighboring stool.

This stool features a 26-inch seat height, which is specifically designed for standard kitchen counters and islands that stand approximately 34 to 36 inches tall. To ensure a comfortable seating experience, we recommend maintaining a 10-to-12-inch gap between the seat and the underside of your counter to provide ample legroom.

Yes, the polyurethane (faux leather) upholstery is an excellent choice for active households. Unlike genuine leather or porous fabrics, high-quality polyurethane is water-resistant and non-porous, making it incredibly easy to wipe clean after spills or sticky fingers. Based on our expertise with performance materials, this surface provides the sophisticated look of leather with significantly higher resistance to daily wear and tear.

The low-back profile of this stool is a strategic choice for modern, open-concept homes. At a total height of 35 inches, it maintains clear sightlines across your room, preventing the "visual clutter" that taller chairs can create. Additionally, the swivel feature allows you to effortlessly transition between a meal at the counter and a conversation in the living area without having to drag the stool across the floor.

Absolutely. This stool is designed with a mid-century modern aesthetic that prioritizes a slim, airy footprint. The four-leg base and square seat style provide stability without the bulk of traditional dining chairs. Its low-back silhouette also allows it to tuck closer to the counter edge, helping to maximize floor space in compact kitchen layouts.
