Set of 2 Backless Counter Stools with 4 Inch Cushion, Brown Faux Leather and Sled Frame, 26 Inch Seat

With no back, the seat does all the work. Most backless stools give you an inch or two of foam over plywood, and after a short sit you feel the board through it.

The cushion here is 4 in deep, marked on the manufacturer's own photograph. Underneath it there is thick plywood rather than a thin sheet, which is what keeps the sponge from bottoming out at the edges.

How far they disappear

Twenty six inches to the top of the cushion, with a 17.5 in by 14 in footprint. Backless, so both slide right in under the overhang of a 35 in to 39 in counter.

The measured figures

The cushion is 17 in by 15.5 in and 4 in deep. The footrest runs 8.5 in off the floor, and the frame covers 17.5 in by 14 in. The badge reads 330 lb.

Where your feet go

On a backless stool the footrest is the only leg support there is. This one runs across both the front and the back of the frame at 8.5 in, so it does not matter which way you sit.

What we stand behind

• The 26 in seat height, the 17 in by 15.5 in seat, the 4 in cushion, the 8.5 in footrest and the 330 lb figure come from this listing's own drawing.
• The title says 26 inch and the drawing agrees.
• At 26 in the seat is at the tall end of counter height. Under a 36 in worktop that leaves 10 in of knee room, which is the minimum most guides recommend.
• The seat is built from PU leather, high density sponge, thick plywood and a non woven backing, in that order.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How deep is the padding?

Four inches of high density sponge, marked on the manufacturer's own photograph. That is roughly double what a typical backless stool carries.

Will 26 inches suit my counter?

Under a 36 in worktop it leaves 10 in of knee room, the minimum most guides suggest. At 37 in or 38 in it is a better fit.

Are there footrests on both sides?

Yes. A rail runs across the front and the back of the frame, both at 8.5 in from the floor.

How do I clean the cover?

A damp cloth. The maker calls the PU waterproof, so blot spills off rather than letting them sit.
