Which is better for a kitchen island with four seats?

The 4-pack. One order gives you four matching stools at $262.11 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026. Two 2-packs cost about $234.62 at Amazon, so the 4-pack is not cheaper, but it is one order and one delivery.

Is the 2-pack a better deal per stool?

Yes. The 2-pack works out to about $58.66 per stool at $117.31 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026. The 4-pack works out to about $65.53 per stool at $262.11 at The Home Depot.

Are these the same stool?

They appear to be the same Arlo saddle stool from Nathan James, with the same 275 lb limit, metal frame, foam seat and floor protectors. The main difference is pack size and upholstery: the 4-pack is listed as fabric, the 2-pack as PU faux leather.

What seat height do I need for my counter?

A 27.2-inch seat suits a standard 36-inch counter. The 2-pack's spec table also says 24 inches, which suits a 34- to 36-inch counter less well, so confirm the height before ordering.

Both use a metal frame and foam seat with a 275 lb limit. The 4-pack's fabric is tested to over 100,000 double rubs, which is a durability figure the 2-pack's PU leather listing does not give. PU leather can peel over time; woven fabric usually does not.

How long does assembly take?

About 60 minutes for the 4-pack and about 30 minutes for the 2-pack, per the listings. Hardware and instructions are included with both.
