Light in profile but generous on comfort, the Aren Counter Stool brings an easy, relaxed feel to the kitchen or open-plan living space. Its solid ash frame has a beautifully understated warmth, paired with softly cushioned polyester upholstery across both the seat and curved backrest. The slim timber legs and open silhouette keep Aren feeling refined rather than bulky, while the supportive upholstered back makes it a stool you’ll actually want to linger in. Pair it with the matching Aren Dining Chair for a considered, cohesive look across your kitchen and dining areas.

FAQ
Is the Aren Counter Stool suitable for everyday use?
Yes. The solid ash frame provides a strong and durable structure, while the polyester upholstery is well suited to regular household use. The upholstered seat and supportive back also make Aren comfortable enough for more than a quick meal.
How should I care for the timber and upholstery?
Dust the ash frame with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners. Vacuum the upholstery gently using an upholstery attachment and blot spills promptly with a clean, absorbent cloth rather than rubbing.
Will every Aren Counter Stool look exactly the same?
As ash is a natural timber, subtle differences in grain, markings and tone are expected from piece to piece. These variations are part of the character of real wood rather than imperfections, and give each stool its own individual finish.
