Walstead Place Brown Upholstered Kyoto Counter Height Stool

This stool is a fixed counter-height seat with a 24-inch seat height. It is specifically designed to pair with surfaces between 34 and 36 inches high. This measurement ensures the standard 10 to 12 inches of legroom recommended for comfortable dining and socializing at a kitchen island or counter-height table.

Yes, backless stools are an exceptional space-saving solution for urban apartments and smaller homes. With a width of 19.75" and a depth of 15.25", this stool features a slim, square profile that can be tucked completely underneath the counter when not in use. This keeps your walkways clear and maintains a minimalist, open aesthetic in your living area.

The stool is designed with sturdy straight legs for a contemporary look and long-term durability. To protect delicate flooring such as hardwood, laminate, or tile, we recommend applying adhesive felt pads or rubber floor protectors to the bottom of the legs. This prevents scratching and allows the stool to glide smoothly when being tucked under the counter.

This stool is crafted using high-quality birch and cherry veneers finished in an inviting warm brown. Veneers are prized in furniture construction for their beauty and stability; they provide the rich look of dark wood while offering enhanced resistance to the warping or cracking that can occur with temperature and humidity changes in a kitchen environment.

While the design is contemporary and sleek, the stool is built for comfort. The square seat features tufted upholstery that provides a cushioned surface, making it suitable for everything from a quick morning coffee to extended evening conversations. The straight-leg design provides a stable foundation, while the tufting adds a fashionable, cushioned texture.

To maintain the "old world charm" of the finish, our care guides recommend dusting the wood regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the cherry and birch veneers. For the upholstered seat, blot spills immediately with a soft cloth and a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Regular maintenance will preserve both the cushion's integrity and the inviting brown finish.
