Set of 2 Backless Swivel Bar Stools with Beige Linen Seats, 26 Inch Seat Height, Rubber Wood Legs

In a galley kitchen the overhang on the island is the only place a stool can hide. A stool with a back stops halfway in, and the walkway loses a foot of width for the rest of the day.

These are backless, and the manufacturer says so plainly: two of them store under the counter. The seat is 14 in across on a 17 in square leg spread, so both disappear behind the overhang between meals.

The height, and what it suits

Twenty six inches to the top of the cushion. The manufacturer marks these for counters of 35 in to 39 in, and at the 36 in end that leaves 10 in of knee room, which is where most height guides start.

Two footrests, not one

The rails sit at 8 in and 9.5 in from the floor, which is unusual: two heights instead of one. On a 26 in seat that puts your feet 16.5 in to 18 in below you, close to the range ergonomics guides suggest for a tall stool.

Cushion and cover

The cushion is sponge under a woven linen face. It is a soft finish rather than a wipe clean one, so blot spills quickly and vacuum the weave now and then.

For counters of 35 in to 39 in, per the maker.

What we stand behind

• The 26 in height, 14 in seat, footrest heights and 330 lb figure all come from this listing's own specification list and drawing, which agree.
• The title says 26 inch and the drawing agrees, so this one is right.
• The manufacturer states the intended counter range as 35 in to 39 in. Height guides generally prefer 10 in to 12 in of knee room, which puts the best fit at the lower end.
• The record describes the seat as one colour, beige with brown legs, and the photographs match.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Will these tuck under my island?

Yes, that is the point of a backless stool. There is nothing above the 14 in cushion, so each one slides in until the legs meet the cabinet.

Are backless stools comfortable?

For short sits, yes, especially with footrests at the right height. If people sit for an hour at a time, a stool with a back is the easier choice.

How do I clean linen seats?

Vacuum the weave, then blot spills straight away with a barely damp cloth working from the outside in. No cleaning code is published, so test a hidden area first.

Do they swivel freely?

Yes. A metal swivel plate under the cushion lets the seat turn a full circle in either direction.
