Frequently Asked Questions

What is counter height for stools?

Counter-height stools are typically designed for surfaces that are 34 to 36 inches tall which is standard kitchen counter height. The ideal stool height for these surfaces is 24 to 26 inches from floor to seat. This gives about 9–12 inches of legroom, which is considered the sweet spot for comfort.

How do you clean velvet upholstery on stools?

To clean velvet upholstery, gently vacuum the fabric with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris. For spots or stains, use a mild detergent diluted in water and blot (don’t rub!) with a microfiber cloth. Let the velvet dry completely, then brush the nap with a soft clothes brush to restore its texture. Avoid soaking the fabric, velvet is elegant but sensitive.

What is a rattan counter stool?

A rattan counter stool combines a counter-height frame with natural woven rattan accents, usually on the backrest or seat. It’s a go-to style for adding warmth and texture to modern kitchens, coastal spaces, and boho-inspired dining areas. Our rattan counter stools are built with solid wood frames and handwoven rattan details for both durability and design appeal.

How many counter stools do I need?

A good rule of thumb is to allow at least 24–30 inches of space per stool, so everyone has room to sit comfortably. For a 6-foot island, this usually means 3 stools; for a 4-foot island, 2 stools. Measure the width of the seating area and divide by the spacing recommendation to get your ideal count.
