Four Hands Wharton Stool

With a seat height of 26.5 inches, this stool is designed specifically for standard counter-height surfaces, which typically measure around 36 inches. We recommend measuring the distance from your floor to the underside of your counter to ensure you have at least 9 to 10 inches of legroom for a comfortable fit.

The seat features a simple contour designed to support your posture, though it is firmer than a fully upholstered dining chair. It is ideal for casual meals or morning coffee, but may not be the best choice if you plan to use it as a primary workspace for several hours at a time.

Yes, the distressed finish is intentional and part of the stool's vintage aesthetic. Because it is crafted from a blend of polyurethane, polyester, and cotton, it is designed to hold up well to daily wear while maintaining that lived-in look.

Given the stool's width of 20.5 inches, we recommend allowing at least 26 to 30 inches of space from the center of one stool to the center of the next. This spacing ensures you have enough room to sit comfortably without feeling crowded.

The iron frame is durable and low-maintenance. Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, which could damage the finish over time.
