Weehawken Brown Counter Height Stool

This stool has a width of 17.25 inches, making it a space-efficient choice for both large islands and smaller breakfast nooks. To ensure guests have enough elbow room and can get in and out easily, we recommend leaving 6 to 10 inches of space between each stool. For a typical 6-foot island, you can comfortably accommodate three of these stools.

To keep this stool looking its best, our care guide recommends regularly dusting the wooden legs and rattan back with a soft, dry cloth. For the upholstered fabric seat, we suggest periodic vacuuming with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris. For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the natural finish of the wood and rattan.

The primary difference is the seat height. This counter-height stool features a 27-inch seat height, which is specifically designed to pair with surfaces that stand approximately 34 to 36 inches tall, such as a standard kitchen island. In contrast, bar-height stools are typically taller, with seats ranging from 30 to 32 inches, intended for 42-inch high-top bars. Choosing the correct height ensures enough legroom to sit comfortably without feeling cramped.

Yes, with a 27-inch seat height, this stool is the ideal fit for a standard 36-inch kitchen counter or island. Based on our interior design expertise, we recommend maintaining a 10-to-12-inch gap between the top of the seat and the underside of the counter. This provides ample space for your legs and ensures an ergonomic dining experience.

Absolutely. The "Weehawken" stool is specifically designed with a tropical-modern flair that complements the airy, light-filled atmosphere of coastal homes. The rich brown finish and natural rattan textures add organic warmth to a kitchen, making it a perfect accent for homes in humid or sunny climates where natural materials and casual styles are favored.

The backrest is crafted from natural rattan, a material prized in tropical and coastal furniture for its incredible strength and flexibility. The woven design provides a breathable "embrace" that keeps you cool, while the sturdy wood frame ensures long-term stability. This combination of natural materials and a square seat style offers a relaxed, resort-like aesthetic that doesn't compromise on support.

This stool is designed with sturdy straight legs, which provide excellent stability. To protect high-end flooring like hardwood or laminate from potential scuffs, we recommend applying heavy-duty felt pads to the bottom of the legs. Since these stools are stationary, felt pads allow them to slide smoothly and quietly across the floor, preserving both your furniture and your flooring investment.
