Watsonia VII Cream Adjustable Barstool, Set of 2

This stool is upholstered in high-quality polyurethane (faux leather), a material we frequently recommend for active families due to its exceptional durability. Unlike genuine leather, polyurethane is non-porous and highly resistant to liquid absorption and staining. Based on our material care expertise, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth and mild soap is sufficient to maintain the cream-colored finish, making it a practical choice for high-traffic dining areas.

For those who use their kitchen island as a workspace or for long meals, comfort is paramount. This stool is designed with a padded seat and a curved, cut-out backrest to provide ergonomic support. A critical comfort feature is the built-in footrest attached to the pedestal; this ensures that your legs are properly supported regardless of the height you set, reducing fatigue during extended periods of sitting.

This stool is an excellent choice for urban apartment living or compact floor plans. Its pedestal base occupies a smaller footprint than traditional four-legged stools, and the 17.75-inch width allows for multiple stools to be placed side-by-side without overcrowding. Additionally, the 360-degree swivel function makes it easy to get in and out of the seat in tight spaces without needing to pull the stool far away from the counter.

While the pedestal base is engineered for stability, we recommend taking precautions on delicate flooring like hardwood or luxury vinyl. Our home care guidelines suggest placing a protective felt or rubber ring on the underside of the metal base. This addition helps prevent surface scratches during movement and provides extra grip on smooth flooring.

Yes, this stool features an adjustable gas-lift mechanism that allows it to transition seamlessly between counter and bar heights. With a maximum seat height of 33 inches, it is versatile enough to fit both standard 36-inch kitchen islands and 42-inch high-top bars. To ensure maximum comfort, our experts recommend maintaining 10 to 12 inches of clearance between the stool seat and the underside of your counter for adequate legroom.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this set of two stools. As is standard for our occasional dining furniture, the stools will arrive with all necessary hardware and a set of easy-to-follow instructions. Most customers find the process of attaching the seat to the gas-lift pedestal straightforward, requiring only a few minutes of setup per stool.
