Top Grain Leather Upholstery

The top grain leather represents the highest quality leather available, featuring the natural grain pattern present on the hide's outer surface. This premium material retains the leather's inherent character, including natural markings and variations that make each stool unique. Unlike corrected grain or bonded leather, top grain develops beautiful patina over time, becoming more attractive with age as oils from hands and natural use create rich depth. The leather's durability ensures it withstands daily use without cracking or peeling like synthetic alternatives, making it ideal for high-traffic seating.

Solid Oak Construction

The solid oak legs and footrest provide structural integrity through one of the hardest and most durable hardwoods available. Oak's natural strength ensures the stool remains stable and secure through years of daily use while the distinctive grain patterns add visual interest and natural beauty. The solid wood footrest positioned at comfortable height allows resting feet during extended sitting, reducing leg fatigue during meals or conversations. The foam cushioning beneath the leather provides comfort without excessive softness, maintaining enough firmness to support proper sitting posture. The classic design with 26-inch seat height creates timeless proportions that work beautifully in modern and transitional homes.

Leather Care

Wipe the top grain leather with soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and light soiling. Use leather conditioner every 6 to 12 months to maintain suppleness and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water that can damage natural leather or affect color.

Wood Frame Care

Dust the solid oak legs and footrest regularly with soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use slightly damp cloth with mild soap, drying immediately to prevent water damage. Avoid placing the stool in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent wood fading or drying.

Long-Term Maintenance

The top grain leather develops natural patina over time that enhances rather than detracts from appearance. Check leg connections and joints periodically to ensure stability, tightening any loose elements. The solid oak construction ensures this stool lasts through years of daily use when properly cared for.
