Four stools with backs take a metre of walkway out of a kitchen even when nobody is sitting on them. In a room where the island is also the route to the back door, that is the whole problem.

Nothing rises above these seats, and each base is only 17 in by 13 in. Pushed in, four of them sit entirely under the overhang of a 35 in to 39 in counter and the floor comes back.

Four under one counter

Each stool takes 17 in by 13 in of floor. Pushed under the overhang the row takes none of it, which is why backless stools suit a kitchen where the island is also the walkway.

The measurements per stool

Twenty four and a half inches to the dip in the seat, a 15.5 in by 10 in top and rails at 7 in and 9 in. The badge reads 350 lb, and the drawing marks the counter it is meant for.

The joint that does the work

Where the legs meet the underside of the seat there is a metal reinforcing bracket rather than a screw straight into end grain. On a backless stool that joint takes everything.

Matched seats and legs in one order.

For counters of 35 in to 39 in.

15.5 in by 10 in, dipped in the middle.

A bracket where the legs meet the seat.

What we stand behind

• The 24.5 in seat height, the 15.5 in by 10 in seat, the footrest heights and the 350 lb figure come from this listing's own drawing.
• The title says 24.5 inch and the drawing agrees.
• The title names the colours as Walnut and Gray. The photographs show a walnut toned acacia seat on legs that read as white or off white rather than grey.
• The supplier code for this listing is two pairs of the same stool, which is how the set of four is packed.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Are the legs grey or white?

The title says grey; every photograph shows a pale white or off white paint. Ask us to confirm before ordering if the shade matters.

How much counter length do four need?

Each base is 17 in wide. Kitchen planning guidance generally allows about 24 in of counter per seated person, so four want roughly eight feet.

Is this the same stool as the pair?

Yes. Same 24.5 in seat, same carved acacia top, same 350 lb figure. The difference is the count.

Is there a footrest?

Two, at 7 in and 9 in from the floor, in rubber wood rather than the acacia used for the seat and legs.
