folding stool with back

Counter-height folding stools commonly measure about 24–24.5 inches from the floor to the seat. Bar-height options are typically around 30–31 inches, matching standard counter and bar surfaces.

Upholstery materials include PVC (PVC leather), faux leather, and polyester. Common padding materials are polyurethane foam or high-density sponge.

Many folding stools use a flip-up seat or a hinged backrest so the stool collapses into a more compact profile for storage. Product listings typically show the folded dimensions or footprint to help you confirm how easily the stool will fit in closets, under counters, or in other storage spaces.

Most folding stools with backs arrive fully assembled or indicate no assembly required, so they’re ready to use right out of the box.

Comfort features to look for include padded seats and backs, foam or sponge cushions, slightly inclined backrests, and built-in footrests on some counter-height models.
