Will this stool fit my kitchen counter?

The seat sits 24 inches high, which suits counters about 34 to 36 inches tall. For a standard 40- to 42-inch bar top you need a taller stool.

Does the seat swivel all the way around?

Yes, the seat swivels a full 360 degrees, so you can turn toward the room or the counter.

How much weight does it hold?

The rated limit is 275 lbs per stool.

How hard is assembly?

Assembly takes about 15 minutes with the included hardware. Most owners report no problems.

Is the seat comfortable for long sitting?

The padded PU seat is fine for meals and short visits. The back is decorative rather than a full support, so it is not built for hours of lounging.

How do I clean the seat?

Wipe the PU with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh solvents that can dry or crack the surface.

Our take on the Ashley Gardenia Counter Height Bar Stool

The Ashley Gardenia is a transitional counter stool with a swivel seat, a decorative back and a coffee-brown metal frame with flared legs. The seat is padded and wrapped in PU, so it wipes clean and holds up to everyday spills. At 24 inches it fits standard 34- to 36-inch counters, and the 275 lb weight limit covers most adults. It suits anyone furnishing a kitchen island or breakfast bar who wants a swivel stool with a back without paying for solid wood. Against wooden or upholstered counter stools it is easier to clean and lighter to move, but the PU and metal build feels less premium than fabric or full-grain leather rivals.
