Is this stool counter height or bar height?

It is a counter stool, sized to pair with standard 36-inch counters and islands. Check the seat height against your counter before ordering.

How much weight does it hold?

The listed limit is 250 lb per stool. That is lower than many solid wood or heavy metal stools, so consider your users.

Is the seat comfortable for long sitting?

It is fine for meals and short visits. The padding is thin and the back is low, so it is not built for hours of lounging.

How many stools fit at a kitchen island?

Allow about 24 inches of width per stool. A six-foot island typically fits three.

Does it need assembly?

Yes, the legs and footrest attach with basic hardware. Most buyers report it takes under half an hour.

How do I clean the faux leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh solvents that can crack the finish.

Our take on the George Oliver Faux Leather Modern Low Back Counter Stool

A modern counter-height stool with a low back, faux leather seat and a metal frame. It holds up to 250 lb, has a built-in footrest and comes in a range of colors to match a kitchen island or bar. The low back keeps sightlines open, which suits open-plan kitchens better than tall-backed bar chairs. Against wooden or upholstered rivals it is lighter and easier to wipe clean, but the 250 lb limit and thin padding are below what sturdier stools offer.
