Set of 2 Ladder Back Counter Stools in Walnut with Timber Seats, 24 Inch Seat Height

Tall backs at a counter

Forty two inches to the top of the back is high for a counter stool, so a pair of these reads as dining chairs pulled up to an island. That suits a kitchen where the counter is the table and people sit there for a whole meal.

Every figure

Twenty four inches to the seat, 42 in to the top, a 17 in by 15.5 in seat and a rail 7 in from the floor. The drawing prints 330 lb and gives the counter range as 35 in to 39 in.

Where the shaping is

The seat is scooped rather than flat, which is the only comfort a bare timber stool has. The maker traces the curve on their own photograph, which is more useful than the word contoured on its own.

The triangle under the seat

Triangular bracing in each corner under the seat frame. That is what turns four legs into a rigid box, and it is why a stool this tall can carry a 330 lb figure without a metal frame anywhere in it.

For counters of 35 in to 39 in.

Leaned backwards, cut through.

Dished to the shape of the hips.

In each corner under the seat.

A rail across the front.

The manufacturer's stated maximum load.

What we stand behind

• The 17 in by 15.5 in seat, the 24 in seat height, the 42 in overall height, the 18 in back, the 7 in footrest, the 19 in by 17.5 in base and the 330 lb capacity all come from this listing's own drawing.
• The seat and back are bare sealed timber with no padding, which makes them easy to clean and firmer than an upholstered stool.
• The maker calls the back curved and hollow. The photographs show a shaped crest rail with gaps between the slats rather than a perforated panel.
• No net weight, carton size or assembly time is published.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is a timber seat comfortable?

It is dished through the middle to follow the hips, which helps. For a long meal a tie on cushion would still be worth adding.

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.

Why are the backs so tall?

Forty two inches overall puts the top rail at shoulder height when you sit, which makes the stool behave like a dining chair rather than a perch.

How do I clean them?

A barely damp cloth on the sealed timber, dried afterwards. There is no fabric to treat.
