Black against timber

Painted black, the legs read as four thin lines and the seat as a dark bar. Against a warm timber worktop that contrast is what gives a plain stool some presence without adding any bulk.

The shape, measured

Seventeen inches across and 9.5 in deep. Narrow front to back is what lets a saddle seat slide right under an overhang, and the scoop through the middle is what holds you on a stool with no back.

Two rails

Six and a half inches and 10 in from the floor. Two heights on a 24 in stool means a shorter and a taller sitter each have somewhere their feet reach without stretching.

Painted timber, and its one weakness

Solid rubber wood under the paint, described as splinter free and crack resistant. Paint chips at the corners where stain only scuffs, so the leg ends are the place to watch on a black stool.

For counters of 35 in to 39 in.

What we stand behind

• The 17 in by 9.5 in seat, the 24 in seat height, the 6.5 in and 10 in footrests, the 12.5 in by 16.5 in base and the 330 lb capacity all come from this listing's own drawing.
• The written copy describes a walnut wood finish, which belongs to the stained version of this stool rather than to the black painted one.
• Painted timber chips at the corners where stained timber only scuffs. No paint type or coating thickness is published.
• These stools have no backrest, which is what lets them tuck away and also what makes them better suited to shorter sits.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Why does the description mention walnut?

The maker reused the copy across all three finishes. The walnut reference belongs to the stained version.

What counter height suits them?

Thirty five to 39 in on the drawing. A 24 in seat under a 36 in counter leaves 12 in of knee room.

Will the black paint chip?

Painted timber chips at the corners more readily than stain does. No coating specification is published, so the leg ends are the place to watch.

How do I clean them?

A barely damp cloth, dried afterwards. There is no fabric to treat.
