Viola Natural Counter Height Stool

This stool features a seat height of 25.5 inches, which is the industry standard for counter-height seating. To ensure maximum comfort and proper legroom, we recommend maintaining a 10 to 12-inch gap between the top of the stool seat and the underside of your counter. This makes the stool an ideal fit for standard kitchen islands and counters that typically measure between 35 and 37 inches in height.

The frame is constructed with high-quality ash veneers in a natural finish. Ash is highly valued in furniture making for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and shock resistance. By using a veneer, the stool gains the beautiful, open-grain aesthetic of natural wood while being significantly more resistant to the warping or cracking that can occur with temperature and humidity changes in a kitchen environment.

Yes. Unlike backless models, this stool is designed with a full back and a generously padded square seat, providing the ergonomic support necessary for longer periods of sitting. The integrated square footrest offers a stable place to rest your feet, reducing leg fatigue whether you are enjoying a long meal or using your counter as a temporary workspace.

This stool features sturdy tapered legs designed for stability. While the "minimalist silhouette" is designed to be sleek, we always recommend applying felt pads or floor protectors to the bottom of the legs if you have hardwood, laminate, or delicate tile flooring. This prevents scratches and ensures the stool glides smoothly when being moved.

These stools are an excellent choice for urban apartment living or smaller floor plans. With a width of 18.25 inches and a minimalist contemporary silhouette, they offer a sophisticated look without overwhelming a tight space. The canted (tapered) legs provide a stable, wide base for safety while maintaining a slim profile that allows multiple stools to be neatly lined up along a kitchen island.

To keep the soft gray fabric looking its best, our care guidelines recommend regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris. For minor spills or stains, we suggest blotting the area immediately with a clean, soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Always avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the fabric fibers and the natural finish of the ash veneer.
