What You Get With the Cordoba Performance Fabric Counter Stool
- Handcrafted Solid Wood Construction -- Each stool features intricately turned wood legs made by skilled artisans in Peru, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. This traditional craftsmanship method creates furniture that develops character over time and withstands decades of daily use.

- Supportive Back Design -- Unlike backless counter stools, the Cordoba provides lumbar support for comfortable extended seating during long breakfast conversations or homework sessions.
- Compact Footprint -- At 18 inches wide, these stools tuck neatly under counters when not in use, maximizing kitchen traffic flow while providing seating when needed.
- Artisan-Made Quality -- Each piece undergoes traditional hand-finishing techniques that create depth and richness impossible to achieve through machine production, resulting in furniture that becomes more beautiful with age.
What Is a Counter Stool?
Counter stools are specialized seating designed for 36-inch high surfaces like kitchen islands, breakfast bars, and counter-height dining tables. Also called counter-height stools or kitchen island stools, they typically feature seat heights between 24-26 inches to provide proper leg clearance and comfortable positioning for counter dining and casual seating.How to Size Counter Stools for Your Kitchen Island?
For proper fit, allow 6-10 inches of space between each stool and measure your counter overhang -- you need at least 10 inches of depth for comfortable seating. Standard counter height of 36 inches works best with 26-inch seat height stools like the Cordoba. For kitchen islands, plan for 24-30 inches of width per person to ensure comfortable elbow room during meals. Consider your kitchen's traffic patterns and leave adequate walkway space of at least 36 inches behind the stools when occupied.
